Prog rock

[Manbient]

wtf it is not a recommendation thread or smth, people you will put whatever the fuck they like in their lists...

I'm not even sure what this thread is. Are we supposed to comment on this list of prog bands? are they ones he likes? what's the point? I guess most people think the point is to list more bands, ones i presume are their favorites. Anyway, shit thread.

 

[affinityband]

I like the traditional prog bands a lot, not too much into obscure/extremely experimental prog stuff...

thats exactly what im not a fan of. Just ends up sounding boring as hell after you hear about 10 bands.

So basiclly i can only really get into the 'mainstream' bands that were listed at the top, but from the tons of others i downloaded im not really a fan to be honest. I like something a little bit gentle.

[Demilich]

As usual, Joey, I need to hear the 7/10ths of that list that is unfamiliar to me.

 

[Manbient]

Demilich, you are such a dick sucker. First AC, now NFU. I mean it's fine to enjoy and learn from others posts, but do you have to so blatantly shout "please put it in my butt you are my hero"?

 

[Don Corleone]

HAHAHAHA fucking ace mike

 

[NFU]

chill everyone. but i do recommend all those releases very much obviously...for anyone interested in checking them out.

 

[Kenneth R.]

of course they will. and i will break my monitor in a scissor kick attempt to take them out. i'm hoping people would try to go out of their way to post something different for once instead of posting just another list full of Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, and Pink Floyd. for everyone's interest and entertainment, but especially for my sanity

not to mention that there actually exist dumbfucks who would list Opeth, Tool, and Porcupine Tree as the epitomy of prog rock, when only the last is remotely related to the genre. What you said NEEDED to be said because people are conditioned to reply with the same old shit.

All three of those bands have plenty to do with prog.

yea - as much as seeing Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon listed over and over in this thread would've made me cry, seeing Tool - Aenima or some Pain of Salvation album listed alongside it probably would've made me jump into the Mississippi in an attempt to brutally claim my life

 

[Liquid Tension]

You can jump in any river you want because Pain of Salvation's disc The Perfect Element is better then Dark Side or any other Pink Floyd...

 

[i aint play this]

now THAT is sig worthy. *sigh*

 

[RedinTheSky]

I am amazed how many times Pink Floyd is brought up without talk of Ummagumma.

 

[reality is but a dream]

so, does kraut rock count as prog rock?

cuz if so my picks would include amon duul II - yeti , AMAZING album

 

[dcat]

Ahh yes, Amon Duul II, swamp rock, I can't remember the track title but it has swamp sound effects before a great rocky number, most of my vinyl is in storage.

Funny noone ever mentions "Rare Bird"

"As your mind flies by" is a good starter as is the self titled debut, imo.
