Bill Bruford lays the foundations for prog rock
As recommended by ShallowHalo and Wingates
Part of the very foundations of prog-rock, Bruford’s work with Yes and King Crimson became the standard against which rock drummers were to be rated. He was revered by fans and fellow musicians alike – even after a fist-fight with Yes bandmate Chris Squire, he was still asked to play all the drums on Squire’s next solo album Fish Out of Water. For ShallowHalo, Bruford’s work with King Crimson is his favourite, citing “every track off Larks’ Tongues in Aspic”.
