Alexander's Ragtime Band

About Alexander's Ragtime Band

It's all prog rock, all the time! Giant art rock nerds Jeremy Parish, James Eldred, and Elliot Long gather together to hash out the art of progressive rock. From its roots in the '60s to the best modern interpretations of the form, the only rule here is that each episode fills at least one full side of an LP and contains plenty of pretentious solos.

   Episode 20: Post-Wall Pink Floyd

   In this, the final episode of Alexander's Ragtime Band, Jeremy, Elliot and James continue their Pink Floyd discussion from an earlier episode. Previously, they discussed the much-maligned post-Syd to Pre-Dark Side era. Today, they discuss the even more maligned post-Wall era - the 80s were a harsh decade for prog rock legends, that's for sure. Thanks for listening to the podcast, everyone, we hope you enjoyed it!

   Episode 19: Focus, Jon Anderson and The Gong Family

   Alexander's Ragtime Band is winding down, so James and Elliot take this chance to rattle off some records and bands that they've always wanted to talk about, but never had the chance to. Elliot is on brand by talking about Jon Anderson, and James stays extremely on brand by talking about Gong non-stop for 20 minutes. Also, Focus.

   Episode 18: A Beginner's Guide to Tangerine Dream

   We're going prog-adjacent again to talk about one of our favorite bands, the German electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream! Elliot and I think that everyone should listen to Tangerine Dream, but with literally hundreds of albums, it can be a bit daunting to get into them. So we thought it would be best to share some recommendations for those who might want to dip a toe into their massive discography, but don't know where to begin.
