How d'ya suppose Dylan & The Band fit in to all this?

Couldn't folkie-goes-electric be seen as the prog of '65?

(And those cats from The Band play their instruments as well as anybody ever has . . . especially Garth Hudson. Epic organ solo anyone?)

Not sure how much the "space" stuff is important . . .


Nah, I don't see them as being prog in the slightest, any more than the Clarence White-era Byrds were. Both bands may have been made up of virtuoso musicians, but their stuff is very concise and song-based, with very little in the way of instrumental fat (except for that live version of "Eight Miles High", admittedly).
