History Music / Saga

* VocalEvolution: Michael Sadler's vocal performance from Worlds Apart and onward sounds noticeably different than Saga's three inaugural albums.

* TitleTrack: "Wildest Dreams", "The Security of Illusion".

* GrowingTheBeard: ''Worlds Apart'' would establish the band's sound and Michael Sadler's vocal style for decades to come, thanks to the involvement and advice of producer Rupert Hine.

* TheBandMinusTheFace: For a brief period in 2007 to 2011, Michael Sadler left for personal reasons but soon returned. Guitarist Jim Gilmour also left and returned for a brief moment in the mid-nineties.

*** Chapters IV and VI are from their self titled album.
*** Chapters I and III are from their second album, ''Images At Twilight''.
*** Chapters II and VII are from their third album, ''Silent Knight''.
*** Chapters V and VIII are from their fourth album, ''Worlds Apart''.

* {{Frameup}}: The song [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Framed"]]. Although it's stated that the victim was soon released.

** "The Perfectionist", a up-beat song about a man plotting to murder his dinner guests.
** Another example is "Time To Go", an upbeat song about a schizophrenic young man.

** A very out-there example, even for Prog Rock, with ''The Chapters''. The Chapters are all released in different albums and out of order. But if played together, it chronicles the life of Albert Einstien (and later, the efforts of an alien race to preserve his brain). There were eight originally, spanning across their first four albums, but another eight has been added. They were released together and in their proper order for the album, ''The Chapters Live''.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Ellery Sneed does this in "The Perfectionist" with the wine.

** A more straight forward example in the form of "Generation 13". The album is the story of Jeremy, a member of what is known as the 13th Gen, whose future is full of uncertainties, such as unemployment or homelessness despite his nation's huge wealth.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: And Germans love Saga, too. To the point where most of Saga's touring these days is Germany exclusively.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Ellery Sneed does this in "Perfectionist" with the wine.
* TearJerker: "Goodbye (Once Upon A Time)", the final track from "Behaviour". A song lamenting childhood and written shortly after the death of Michael Sadler's father. A very personal song, it's still enough to well up strong emotions in him to this day during live performances.
