Top 5 Best Prog-Rock Bands

A favourite prog band of mine is Gentle Giant. Check out thir first, Aquiring the taste and Octopus.

 

Octopus is a good album, although kind of strange.

 

I can't rate all his material, or his work with Marillion, but the album by Fish "Sunsets on Empire" is a progressive piece of art, I'd highly advise going out and buying that album for your next purchase.

 

yes, king crimson, Pink Floyd not in any particular order
I love yes though

 

Can't pick any of the trump listed so i'll go for ELP up to 'Brain Salad Surgery'

Proto prog arse...

 

ALL FLOYD IS PROGRESSIVE

 

1. The aurora project
2. Porcupine tree
3. Pink floyd
4. Riverside
5. Pain of salvation

Come check it out!

 

Jethro Tull every time, but someone mentioned Camel. The Snow Goose is excellent, even better if you're familiar with the book.

 

Pink Floyd could do anything and make it sound great.

Psychedelic, Prog, Acoustic, Jazz...anything.

They shouldn't be classified by one label or other.

Many of these prog bands may have been more technical, but I hardly think they could pull off what Floyd did in various areas of rock music without sounding like they were trying to hard.

I consider Yes, Kansas and ELO nothing more than technical fluff and they could never carry the weight of the Floyd--no matter how complex they attempted to be. Floyd had more than just complex music, they had conceptual music--Floyd is more than music...it is an experience.

And I don't see any rival to them in this respect. (Maybe Zeppelin--who are nowhere near being Prog).

 

Thats sad that you think this way. Yes is more of an experience than any band, you obviously do not understand that. Kansas and ELO are just big jokes as are most prog bands. Now the floyd, trust me I like them just as much as you probably do and I also understand the music to be an experience as well, but floyd dwells a little too much on the depressing side of evertything a little to much, where as Yes never does. Open your ears man, and stop relying on music to feel comfortable and connected with your wannabe insanity. Techincal fluff? reminds me exactly of how you talk about prooving that there is no god.

 

hahah wannabe insanity. im crazy dood.







hey kid, you better watch out! there may be dogs about.......

 

dood, the bull Libertine looks EXACTLY like skull yo! hahahahaha

 

alls i gotta say about that is peach tree

 

Yea well, you know you laughed MAD loud when you read that one, cuz Libertine, you look like a clone of this kid.

 

nah he needs more finger armor and makeup to look like skull.
man i remember takin that kid to his first dead show. he bought a cheesey ass cheap tye dye on the lot. then we ate acid and he took his combat boots off and walked around the lot barefoot the rest of the time. funniest moment of my life i think. guess ya had to be there.

 

Oh no, I can imagine some shit like that. Rember the bear?

 

hahah damn dood bears dont leave me while im changing my clothes. a bear might smell the sip of mushroom tea that i just puked up all over myself dood

 

Ok... whatever the hell you've smoking or ingesting, it's working cuz you're trippin' balls if you think I rely on music to "be comfortable" and that I want to become insane.

 

I know man, I'[m cracked out from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much caffeine and work today man, just joking with ya

 

That'll do it. Caffeine can be a real bitch.

I need to lay off the Cokes myself. I drink WAY too many a day.
