Which progressive rock band featured its members skydiving on one of their albums' cover?
The band members were shown forming a circle in free fall with the camera shooting from below.
A friend of mine lent me this album in the 80s for a week and I loved it but did not have the time to record it, he was all "bring it back tomorrow" 
Thanks!

Johno! |

But you know what? I think the photo was on the inside cover (this was I believe one of those records which would fold).

I think the back of 'Frontiers' by Journey has a skydiving shot... this may have been on the inside sleeve back in the day. http://www.totalfootballforums.com/f...howtopic=45858
Scroll down a bit.

Journey's 2nd best album for me - Escape is my #1.
A few purists might question the "prog rock" moniker in the thread title, though.

"Prog rock" To me it was when I listened to it.
Rhapsody has Journey classified as "AOR" (Album Oriented Rock - whatever that means)

No, "AOR" is an onomatopoeia...it's the sound you make in the back of your throat when your friend loans you an album that he tells you is "Prog Rock" and you listen to it and it turns out to be Journey.

THIS is what you call prog rock! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esHEP...eature=related

|  | My favorite songs were never heard on the radio | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Tulsa, OK | | | Yes, Journey is certainly NOT prog rock. Especially on that album. Don't get me wrong -- I have Frontiers and it's a really good Journey album. A little harder-edged than Escape, which I like. King Crimson, Yes, early Genesis -- that's prog rock. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
