seeking prog rock advice from the proggers among us

[Demilich]

Marillion... eh? I have Fugazi on LP and never spin it. Probably should.

'sides that I love Misplaced Childhood and Season's End

 

[Chromatose]

I'd also recommend you listen to Marillion's Clutching at Straws, the last of the Fish albums.

Never enjoyed the Hogarth era much, but I found their recent album, Marbles, to be a quality album, but still not that great compared to classic stuff from them.

edit: was just googling around and noticed they released another album since Marbles, I hadn't heard anything about that. But judging by some quick review reading, it's probably for the best I go back to ignoring modern Marillion.

 

[Demilich]

I'll do it some day! Listening to the 2nd album by Il Bacio Della Medusa now!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Marillion's "Misplaced Childhood" is one of the best albums E-V-E-R.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I hate Marillion.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Gayer comments HAVE been made, I suppose, but one would have to use the search feature.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I have an immense aversion to most neo-prog tbqfh.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Come to think of it, I think there is only ONE Neo-Prog album that I have EVER liked. And I have heard my share.

 

[Chromatose]

liking one neo-prog album is one too many

 

[Krilons Resa]

I'd totally agree...but that comment just came from someone recommending Marillion.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

You srsly don't like "Script Fo' A Jester's Tear"?

 

[Krilons Resa]

You srsly don't like "Script Fo' A Jester's Tear"?

...as a heart attack.

 

[Chromatose]

I don't really lump the classics in with NEO-PROG no matter what those progjerkies say. Newer ones, definitely.

More like a Genesis tribute band!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Marillion = 80s Genesis had Gabriel stayed in the band

 

[Chromatose]

exactly!

 

[Demilich]

Doomcifer, doesn't stuff like Anglagard and Wobbler = neo-prog?

 

[dorian gray]

What the fuck are you guys talking about "neo-prog"?

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Dude....Marillion is amazing. I'm really kinda confused as to why you hate them Ken. I really wouldn't lump them in with most of the "neo-prog" bands I'm familiar with.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Doomcifer, doesn't stuff like Anglagard and Wobbler = neo-prog?

Hell no...that's Symphonic Prog.

 

[Hell Mike]

Hell no...that's Symphonic Prog.

I took the effort to log in from work just to make a boring joke about silly genre battles (Something along the lines of epic symphonic dragonwar battle indian prog post-rock) but I couldn't think of anything particularily funny so instead I types this boring explanation for some reason.
