Your pal The Rock’N’Roll Nurse was a wee tyke of 12 in 1975, but was a voracious consumer of oddball pop/rock/whatever LPs. Hear some of his more memorable polyvinyl chloride finds from back in the day on Part 4 of a 4-part tribute to the halfway point of the ’70s (featuring bands with names S-Z in his meticulously alphabetized collection)!

Sure prog-rock gets a bad rap in a post-punk era where simplicity and directness trump musical virtuosity, but it’s still fun to look back at a time when pretentiousness was not only tolerated but rewarded!  Here the prog heavies (YES, GENESIS, KING CRIMSON, STYX) along with some you might have missed (VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, GENTLE GIANT, PROCOL HARUM).  No teenage lobotomies this show, fellow music geeks!
