Type into the YouTube search bar "[band name] [album title] full album" to see if someone uploaded the whole LP recording.
Often even seemingly obscure record albums can be found on YouTube. It's nice when they include the list of song titles and times (like 3:46 meaning the song is 3 minutes and 46 seconds long), date the album was released, and other information.
You can also type in just "full album" to search YouTube for all the entire albums that have been uploaded. Or type in a band name and then "full album" to search entire LP uploads by that band.
I personally find 1970s "progressive rock" to be among my favorite genres of music to accompany my computer work. Progrock tends to be virtuoso, whimsical, calming, melodically intricate, innovative, smooth, philosophical, funny, and happy.
The most famous progrock bands are Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Gong, Van Der Graaf Generator, Henry Cow, and Tangerine Dream.
QUOTE
Progressive rock was an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.
Bands abandoned the short pop single in favor of instrumentation and composition techniques more frequently associated with jazz or classical music in an effort to give rock music the same level of musical sophistication and critical respect.
Songs were replaced by musical suites that often stretched to 20 or 40 minutes in length and contained symphonic influences, extended musical themes, fantasy-like ambiance and lyrics, and complex orchestrations.
Music critics, who often labeled the concepts as "pretentious" and the sounds as "pompous" and "overblown," tended to be hostile toward the genre or to completely ignore it.
END QUOTE
Progrock tends to blend elements of art rock, space rock, jazz, folk, psychedelic, synthesizers, classical, and experimental music. To me, it's timeless and quite possibly the most perfect music ever made.
William Shatner to release a progrock album October 8, 2013.
