	7:46pm Handy Haversack: We are lonely here in the phone room, with only the prog for company. And Daniel is hungry and getting that look ...
	🤯 7:46pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Dave Mandl, Daniel Blumin, and all... Been listening diggin the prog and pledges!!!
	7:47pm MJ: What's the proggiest song that ever made the Top 10?
	🤯 7:47pm maestroso: ↳ SeaCreature @7:22 Well, there was at least one!
	7:48pm MJ: Roundabout?
	7:48pm morphe': ↳ MJ @7:47 Not a fan just working the internets ... https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/best-prog-rock-songs/
	7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' HobbitPrawg ' :D
	7:48pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Beautiful as the Moon - Terrible as an Army with ... That melody kinda reminds me of Kurt Weil.
	7:49pm Dean: "Roundabout," yeah, but did "Owner of a Lonely Heart" also hit the top 10? Oh, yeah, "Money" was huge.
	7:49pm Coach32sm: ↳ Coach32sm @7:42 Money was a huge hit
	7:49pm Chris Hiatt: Owner of a Lonely Heart??!!
	7:49pm P-90: “Roundabout” is the obvious answer And yeah, Pink Floyd is a special case…
	🤯 7:49pm HollyRT: Per Wikipedia, "Roundabout" peaked at #13!
	7:49pm dday: Bungle in the Jungle (on of Tull's least proggy) got pretty high on AM radio charts in the U.S.
	7:49pm ultradamno: Money made it to 13 on Billboard...I'd call that a hit
	🤯 7:50pm AnAnonymousParty: Money changes from 7/4 to 4/4 for the guitar solo and back to 7/4.
	7:50pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:49 Higher in France and Australia
	🤯 7:50pm HollyRT: Woooo!
	7:50pm erictheise: ↳ HollyRT @7:50 congrats!
	7:51pm dday: ↳ dday @7:49 #12
	7:51pm Dean: Or does Enya "Orinoco Flow" count? It's prog-ish. Lyric is from Tales, "The Remembering (High the Memory)."
	7:51pm Dean: "Karn Evil 9 with a Bullet"?
	🤯 7:52pm HollyRT: ↳ erictheise @7:50 I'm shocked. (I never win anything)
	7:52pm morphe': Time signatures => 7/4?? 7/5?? 2/2/3?? Tried to read Godel Escher and Bach but was unsuccessful ...
	7:53pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "This Is the New That" by "Cheer-Accident" Oh my gosh, Cheer-Accident.
	7:53pm MJ: Kansas, "Carry On My Wayward Son"?
	7:53pm ultradamno: I'd like to think of Devo's Jocko Homo as a contender even though it was a b-side and not on the charts.
	7:54pm Dean: Good call, MJ! (Saw them live for the tour following the album on which "Carry On" appeared.)
	7:54pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:53 ...but still kind of a hit, it's their theme song
	7:54pm Handy Haversack: There are FOUR phone people here! Let's get 'em all on the horn! 800 989 9368
	7:54pm Elaine Benes: Nobody dances like me.
	7:54pm Steve: Burt Bacharach's hits could get proggy (Cheer-Accident's new album was inspired by him.)
	7:55pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @7:51 It might be construed as adjacent, but it just might count!
	7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Steve @7:54 BrianWilson for that matter. But that's probly a stretch...
	7:56pm Dean: "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was "the band's only single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and its Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart." "Carry On" only made it to 11. "Money"? 13.
	🤯 7:56pm HollyRT: Gotta be Rush. Limelight or Tom Sawyer
	7:57pm Dean: Nope, "Tom Sawyer" only climbed to 8. "Limelight" 4.
	7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HollyRT @7:56 Oh yeah - all that Styx & Kansas junk I didn't even consider 'Prawg' til people made note of that. Huge Hits...
	7:57pm Coach32sm: Make it 2 hours!!!
	🤯 7:58pm Troy: Thanks Dave, Daniel & prog people!
	7:58pm Chris Hiatt: Nice job, Daniel and Dave! You guys were great tonite.

	7:59pm Coach32sm: He's GREAT
	7:59pm Dean: Ah, good point, HollyRT. Top 10 and most proggy... That's a tough balancing act. I'll leave the judgment to the Supreme Court.
	7:59pm Dave Mandl: Thanks again, all. Have a great week and thanks for your pledges.
	8:00pm erictheise: Bohemian Rhapsody's not prog?
	🤯 8:00pm tim: Thanks, Dave!!!
	🤯 8:00pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Dave and Daniel and volunteers!
	8:00pm Dean: Answer: "I Know What I Like" made it to 9.
	8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJs DaveMandl & DanB ~
	8:01pm P-90: Bravo Ben & Liz!
	8:04pm Dean: CORRECTION: The Genesis tune "I Know What I Like" is not the one that charted so high. Rather, it was a Huey Lewis & the News, which emits not one whiff of prog whatsoever.

	7:40pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:37 All good, joe werkin'. The time you played the Eric Dolly cut was my favorite prog adjacent moment on the programme. Covered in gold and diamonds it was.
	7:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WFMU Fortune Sigil : wfmu.org... ...apply liberally...
	7:41pm dday: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:37 Daniel B....untie that man!
	🤯 7:41pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:40 nice! :)
	7:42pm Coach32sm: Music to sleepy, the good way
	🤯 7:42pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @7:36 Hey Laura! My thoughts exactly!
	7:45pm Daniel Blumin: Last few minutes to get in the running to get the Henry Cow Concerts 2CD set!
	7:46pm Handy Haversack: We are lonely here in the phone room, with only the prog for company. And Daniel is hungry and getting that look ...
	🤯 7:46pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Dave Mandl, Daniel Blumin, and all... Been listening diggin the prog and pledges!!!
	7:47pm MJ: What's the proggiest song that ever made the Top 10?
	🤯 7:47pm maestroso: ↳ SeaCreature @7:22 Well, there was at least one!
	7:48pm MJ: Roundabout?
	7:48pm morphe': ↳ MJ @7:47 Not a fan just working the internets ... https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/best-prog-rock-songs/
	7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' HobbitPrawg ' :D
	7:48pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Beautiful as the Moon - Terrible as an Army with ... That melody kinda reminds me of Kurt Weil.
	7:49pm Dean: "Roundabout," yeah, but did "Owner of a Lonely Heart" also hit the top 10? Oh, yeah, "Money" was huge.
	7:49pm Coach32sm: ↳ Coach32sm @7:42 Money was a huge hit
	7:49pm Chris Hiatt: Owner of a Lonely Heart??!!
	7:49pm P-90: “Roundabout” is the obvious answer And yeah, Pink Floyd is a special case…
	🤯 7:49pm HollyRT: Per Wikipedia, "Roundabout" peaked at #13!
	7:49pm dday: Bungle in the Jungle (on of Tull's least proggy) got pretty high on AM radio charts in the U.S.
	7:49pm ultradamno: Money made it to 13 on Billboard...I'd call that a hit
	🤯 7:50pm AnAnonymousParty: Money changes from 7/4 to 4/4 for the guitar solo and back to 7/4.
	7:50pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:49 Higher in France and Australia
	🤯 7:50pm HollyRT: Woooo!
	7:50pm erictheise: ↳ HollyRT @7:50 congrats!
	7:51pm dday: ↳ dday @7:49 #12
	7:51pm Dean: Or does Enya "Orinoco Flow" count? It's prog-ish. Lyric is from Tales, "The Remembering (High the Memory)."
	7:51pm Dean: "Karn Evil 9 with a Bullet"?
	🤯 7:52pm HollyRT: ↳ erictheise @7:50 I'm shocked. (I never win anything)
	7:52pm morphe': Time signatures => 7/4?? 7/5?? 2/2/3?? Tried to read Godel Escher and Bach but was unsuccessful ...
	7:53pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "This Is the New That" by "Cheer-Accident" Oh my gosh, Cheer-Accident.
	7:53pm MJ: Kansas, "Carry On My Wayward Son"?
	7:53pm ultradamno: I'd like to think of Devo's Jocko Homo as a contender even though it was a b-side and not on the charts.
	7:54pm Dean: Good call, MJ! (Saw them live for the tour following the album on which "Carry On" appeared.)
	7:54pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:53 ...but still kind of a hit, it's their theme song
	7:54pm Handy Haversack: There are FOUR phone people here! Let's get 'em all on the horn! 800 989 9368
	7:54pm Elaine Benes: Nobody dances like me.
	7:54pm Steve: Burt Bacharach's hits could get proggy (Cheer-Accident's new album was inspired by him.)
	7:55pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dean @7:51 It might be construed as adjacent, but it just might count!
	7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Steve @7:54 BrianWilson for that matter. But that's probly a stretch...
	7:56pm Dean: "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was "the band's only single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and its Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart." "Carry On" only made it to 11. "Money"? 13.
	🤯 7:56pm HollyRT: Gotta be Rush. Limelight or Tom Sawyer
	7:57pm Dean: Nope, "Tom Sawyer" only climbed to 8. "Limelight" 4.
	7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ HollyRT @7:56 Oh yeah - all that Styx & Kansas junk I didn't even consider 'Prawg' til people made note of that. Huge Hits...
	7:57pm Coach32sm: Make it 2 hours!!!

	8:00pm erictheise: Bohemian Rhapsody's not prog?

	8:01pm P-90: Bravo Ben & Liz!
	8:04pm Dean: CORRECTION: The Genesis tune "I Know What I Like" is not the one that charted so high. Rather, it was a Huey Lewis & the News, which emits not one whiff of prog whatsoever.
