Why does so much prog fit this mold

Someone post an album with 2 tracks because it would be so fucking hilarious. I can't be bothered.

south side of the sky, five per cent for nothing, long distance runaround/the fish are all better than roundabout.

>>72882065
and you and i is secretly the best song on the album

>>72882084

was gonna post this, Wurlitzer is underrated af

>>72882285
bad opinion

>>72882285
1st part of this: correct
2nd part: extremely yikes

>>72882458
lol. and you and i is obviously better than siberian khatru, and about as good as close to the edge

>>72882601
Siberian Khatru > Close to the Edge > And You And I

Siberian Khatru is the greatest song Yes ever wrote.

>the vocal+snare jabs at the tail end of the song
pure kino

>>72882159
Because prog starts with he most accessible and ends with the most epic (or vice versa).

Honestly for all Taxman is "GOVERNMENT GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" it's seriously one of the best songs in Revolver.

Ah, what the fuck, misclicked on something and this came up.

Anyway, I think it's because prog had a desire of a journey, there are very few shorter prog songs. And the best moments have to be the first track, to truly grip you onto the album, and the last one, to release everything as one grand burst of emotion. Hence why in quite a few prog albums the first and last tracks are the best.

Here's another one that fits the bill.

These are correct. Also pic related, even though all the tracks are great, Debaser and Gouge Away are god-tier bookends.

love this entire album but intro and Dendron are on another level

>>72882285
Correct on both counts.

>>72884044
Nobody is saying the other tracks aren't good, just that the first and last are the best.

Introduction is one of the best openers of all time, no matter what people may feel about the rest of the album or the group itself/genre.

>>72882285
correct and correct

>>72884782
586 though. Ultraviolence though. Your Silent Face though.

yeah it's a good song but imo it's not better than say it ain't so, the world has turned and left me here, or even in the garage

I respect your opinion though, I see where you're coming from and yeah, only in dreams 10/10 closer

>>72884028
Are you petarted

>>72884356
You can't honestly think Among the Wildflowers isn't the best song on that album

Both very good songs but Waiting is probably the best song Green Day have ever released.

>>72884296
Definitely this, though in fairness there are only like 4 songs I actually like on that album, the rest just don't do anything for me.

>>72884356
Absolutely this

also pic related, applies to New Bermuda as well

>>72883309
you should be sorry, your opinion's shit

>>72885326
there are like 4 or 5 songs better than view from the afternoon

>>72887745
I prefer Ruiner and Reptile, but I won't argue, those are awesome tracks.

>>72884866
Say what you will about Frownland, but it gives you a pretty good idea of not just the album but Captain Beefhearts entire discography

I liked Hanging Around by The Stranglers. The opening is GOAT.

Honestly it's both his innate sense of melody and the fact that he's basically playing it like a bass and not a guitar that really makes it great.

The National Anthem, How to Disappear Completely, Treefingers, Optimistic, In Limbo, Idioteque and Morning Bell are all better than Motion Picture Soundtrack
Everything in its Right Place is the worst track on the album desu sempai

im not denying roundabout is a good song, but after listening to it a million times it just doesn't hold up for me like the other songs do on fragile. i generally skip it just about every time i listen to fragile now.
