Prog Punk Collection

To the surprise of some people punk music isnt just three chord thrash. There are a few punk bands who definitely tried to integrate some rock opera elements into their music. Here's a little selection of some of the more prog punk tracks. There's a fair mix of different styles, from hardcore to anarcho to punk though there was only a few bands who were more likely to do these kind of songs. Obviously it's not really prog but they're not your average punk songs either.

The Mahavishnu Orchestra

Here's a selection of tunes from jazz rock masters, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Led by guitar maestro John McLaughlin they first formed in 1971 and split up in 1976. The band's original lineup featured "Mahavishnu" John McLaughlin on acoustic and electric guitars, with members Billy Cobham on drums, Rick Laird on bass guitar, Jan Hammer on electric and acoustic piano and synthesizer, and Jerry Goodman on violin. Jean-Luc Ponty was actually McLaughlin's first choice for violinist, but the idea was stalled by "immigration problems". He did later play with the band on the albums Apocalypse and Visions Of The Emerald Beyond.
