Episode 652 - Top Ten Times Pop Went Prog Part 1 w/Fernando Perdomo & Matt Tecu

All Time Top Ten

The concept of the prog artist going pop is so well-known that it's almost a cliche. We still love you, Phil Collins! But what about the inverse? What happens when our favorite pop bands and artists get the "prog bug" and go off the deep end? This is a concept that almost nobody talks about but greatly interests us here at ATTT HQ. It doesn't always work, but when Pop Goes Prog and it does work, the results can be an artist-or-band-career-defining moment. Thankfully we have access to a couple of mensches that know their pop and know their prog. The great Fernando Perdomo and the also great Matt Tecu join for what turned out to be a ridiculous good time in TOP TEN TIMES POP WENT PROG. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.
Fernando & Matt's excellent album "Art" is out there on all of the streaming places, but you should really check it out on Bandcamp:
