Thinking Plague was a United States avant-garde rock group founded in 1982
by guitarist/composer, Mike Johnson, and bass guitarist/drummer, Bob Drake.
Based in Denver, Colorado, the band was active on and off since 1982,
taking on a number of musicians over the years. They made five studio
albums between 1984 and 2003, and released one live album recorded at
NEARfest in 2000.
Their music is a mix of rock, folk, jazz and 20th-century classical music.
Music.com remarked that "...Thinking Plague stand out as a shining example
of avant-garde music blended with just enough rock for it to be called
progressive rock..."
While never directly related to Rock in Opposition (RIO), Thinking Plague
was strongly influenced by this late-1970s movement, particularly Henry Cow
and Art Bears. In spite of Johnson's dislike of the term, the band has
often been categorized as a "RIO" band.
