We conclude our look at British progressive rock in the 1970's with one of the most distinctive and unusual bands in all of rock music not just prog, Van der Graaf Generator and their 1970 album "H to He, Who Am the Only One".

We present this week a band that seems to always make everybody's list as one of the top 10 bands in progressive rock history but never gets into that top five. I'm talking about the band Gentle Giant and this episode we review their 1972 album "Three Friends".

In our first episode in our look at British progressive rock of the 1970's we feature one of the biggest bands critically and commercially in prog rock Genesis and their 1973 breakout album in North America "Selling England by the Pound".

In the final episode of our theme on blues bands in the 1970's (with or without horns) we actually do have a band with horns The Electric Flag and we review their 1974 one off reunion album "The Band Kept Playing".

In our second episode detailing blues bands in the 1970's (with or without horns) we talk about one of the more obscure bands we have ever had on our show The Allstars from Charlottesville and their one and only album released in 1978 "Tip Your Waitress".

In this episode we start our theme of blues bands in the 1970's with or without horns and I could think of no better blues band leader than Paul Butterfield and his then band Better Days to kick start things with their 1973 album "It All Comes Back".

In the final episode in our series on the Nashville singer songwriter movement of the early 1970's we take a look at the sad, troubled life of Townes Van Zandt and review his 1972 album "The Late Great Townes Van Zandt".

In the second part of our series on the new Nashville singer songwriter movement of the early '70s we take a look at the career of Mickey Newbury and review his 1971 album "Frisco Mabel Joy".

This episode we start our three part series on the new singer songwriter movement in Nashville in the early 1970's and no better place to begin than the man most people think of when the subject is brought up none other than Kris Kristofferson and his 1971 sophomore album "The Silver Tongued Devil and I".

In the last part of our theme on American punk rock in the 1970's we highlight a band that was as close to the Sex Pistols as the American scene would get with the Dead Boys and their 1977 album "Young Loud and Snotty". It was their debut album and only one of two albums they would release before1 they split up.
