Anyone into prog rock??? :)

Shaun Guerin is very fantastiv. "Epic Quality Of Life" is one of the best prog CD's I've ever heard.

 

Here some of my favourite prog-albums I am listening to (without ranking):

Yes - Close To The Edge (+TFTO +Relayer)
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (+Meddle)
Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways
Genesis - Foxtrot (+Selling England by the Pound)
Spock's Beard - Beware of Darkness
Anekdoten - Nucleus (Sick stuff *lol*)
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood
Tool - Lateralus (+Aenima)
Flower Kings - Unfold The Future

Prog-Metal: Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, Fates Warning and so on

 

the only progressive rock bands I like are King Crimson, early Genesis, and caravan. and Tool, if you consider them to be progressive...

I cant stand mainstream prog rock like ELP, Yes, Rush, etc. Theres just a totally different sound, a sound that isnt innovative at all.

 

I like any Prog. Rock I hear, but my favorites are Pink Floyd, Genesis, Traffic, Supertramp, Rush and Frank Zappa

 

Oh yes, Songs from the Wood is really good.

Ben.

 

Isnt Zappa more avant- garde than prog?

 

The Moody Blues


Genesis



Yes
1969
1972

King Crimson


Emerson, Lake, & Palmer


Progressive Rock is thinking music. Maybe that's why they call it progressive rock. Progressive always has to do with moving forward, and moving forward takes original ideas, thinking!!!!!

And the instrument in my sig is what began Progressive Rock... Look Below...

 

i like all music so the answer is yes hehe

 

For those who mislabel, I have 1 very important lesson...

PINK FLOYD IS NOT PROG-ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

How come everybody mislabels them under that? Pink Floyd has (with the exception of the song, Atom Heart Mother Suite, which features and orchestra and choir and a bit of mellotron) absolutely no classical influence what so ever! They have almost never used a mellotron in their music (again with the exception of the Atom Heart Mother Suite, 'Sysyphus' from Ummagumma, 'Echoes' from Meddle, and 'Absolutely Curtains' from Obscured By Clouds), and they came directly from London's 1967 Psychedelic Movement. No Prog-Rock band ever came from that. No member of the band is classically trained.

Nick Mason, however, like most other prog drummers, was trained in jazz, but he never was an extraordinary player, like Bill Bruford or Phil Collins.

Rick Wright was trained in jazz on piano, whereas prog keyboardists like Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks, or Keith Emerson are classically trained.

David Gilmour, and Roger Waters were both straight-up rock and roll fans, and learned how to play after Elvis Presley became popular.

Syd Barrett was also a rock and roll fan, but also enjoyed blues and jazz.

So please I beg of you, stop calling Pink Floyd prog-rock, because they're not. They are actually considered art-rock, which is a completely different style altogether.


don't mislabel us anymore...
