Hard Rock Sleaze Glam AOR HEAVY
Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

Interesting band as it is a project started by Roy Hill and Chas Cronk after Strawbs disbanded in 1980. Roy Hill had replaced Dave Cousins in Strawbs in 1980 at Cousins’ own recommendation.
When playing live Cry No More also included Nick Magnus (Steve Hackett) on drums and keyboards.Cry No More also supplied the soundtrack for the 1986 British low-budget horror movie, Bloody New Year in which Roy Hill and Chas Cronk also had small parts.
I miss a couple of their releases, as I don’t have their first album Smile (1986), but the file includes most of their other releases.
1987 – Cry No More (Reissue 2008)
1989 – Love & Power (Reissue 2008)
1998 – Brown Paper Bag (Reissue 2009)
1998 – Live
