10 Essential Galahad Songs

Galahad SongsGalahad was first formed in England in the mid 1980’s. The band performed together releasing independent albums without ever having secured a major label recording contract. Yet, the band developed a strong following and gave meaning to the term working musicians.  It’s difficult to know where to start with the band’s discography because their 80’s and 90’s output is a mixture of CD and tape releases.

The band Galahad’s first tape release was issued in 1987 entitled One Knight at Mr Cs. The band’s discography list 14 titles released on tape beginning in 1987 and ending in 1998. The first CD released by the band was issued in 1991 entitled Nothing Is Written. The band released nine more studio CDs. Their most recent CD was released in 2018 entitled Seas of Change.

There are many Progressive Rock bands that enjoyed success on various levels that came out of Europe in the 80’s and 90’s. Bands like Pendragon, Anathema, and Big Big Train  all became popular in various parts of the world with the exception of the United States. The second wave of Progressive Rock Groups never became popular in the U.S. with maybe the exception of Dream Theater. Nonetheless, their contributions to Classic Rock History were significant.
