I recently ran into an obscure old prog rock band on iTunes and listened to their debut album (s/t, 1972) with my dad. I have to say, Captain Beyond is out of this world awesome!!! With a vocalist straight from Skynnard or Molly Hatchet, guitars somewhere between Zeppelin and Yes, great bass, and a drummer in a snare filled class of his very own, these guys so should've made it. As far as I'm concerned, they could've been the great American prog band, America's response to the original English prog classics, rather than early AOR bands (i.e. Styx , Journey, REO Speedwagon) and going right along with Kansas. Why did they fall by the wayside? Why didn't they make it? What are your thoughts on them?
