I Need Some Recomendations...

[Crepuscularia]

Carta's mentioned Isis and Cult of Luna, which are probably safe bets since Pelican is basically Isis without vocals.

Neither of those two would exist without the trailblazing of Neurosis, so add them to the list.

Also, I don't think anyone mentioned Zero Hour - very heavy with progressive influences.

Amorphis perhaps? I'm willing to bet the OP is already familiar with most of these suggestions....

 

[metal_wrath]

None of these bands are Prog...

 

[BlueSky]

None of these bands are Prog...

Wrong.

 

[old user1]

Axamenta's most recent album is amazing. Check it out.

 

[metal_wrath]

Wrong.

lol

Death?
Meshuggah?
Mastodon?

Some of these bands have Prog influences. NONE of them are actually Prog bands.

 

[BlueSky]

Tool, and especially PT are prog bands to the core.

 

[Blackwater Demon]

would Radiohead be concidered progressive?

 

[tchocky]

would Radiohead be concidered progressive?

Not really. The only time they seem 'progressive', are bits on OK Computer. Sure, they've progressed from album to album, but the music itself isn't what you'd call progressive. But I do know they have progressive influences.

Mastodon?

I've got to agree with you there. I hear the word progressive brandished about everywhere whenever I look into Mastodon, but I've listened to two of their albums (Leviathan and Blood Mountain) and found both of them to not only be rather un-progressive, but pretty boring as well.

 

[BlueSky]

If you had to brand them then the easiest way to describe Radiohead these days is experimental.

 

[Carta's]

Experimental? In what, exactly? Apart from the selling method.

 

[BlueSky]

In just about every way possible since Kid A. Man this forum is really something.

 

[Carta's]

Make examples.

 

[BlueSky]

Radiohead is a band that is always experimenting with different styles, different instruments, different prouction techniques, different ways to manipulate things in unconventional ways to create sounds. That is Radiohead like them or not.

 

[Carta's]

If Radiohead's music can be considered experimental, I don't see why Porcupine Tree shouldn't.

 

[BlueSky]

Prog, and experimental have a lot in common.

 

[Carta's]

But now, we can't just call experimental everything that strays from mainstream, can we?

 

[BlueSky]

No.

 

[Carta's]

Then Radiohead aren't experimental.

Anyway, I reckon I'm coming off as a douche, so I'll just shut up for now.

 

[BlueSky]

Truly some genius logic you've got there(sarcasm.) It's an unconventional in the way they make sounds. Just because a band is not mainstream doesn't mean they're trying new, and innovational ways in going about making music. Besides Radiohead is pretty darn mainstream, which is the term coined for bands fairly well known.

Haha, some fierce discussion going on here. Uh, contributing... you'd better get some Devin Townsend if you don't know him yet (try Terria).
