How does this board feel about Prog?

I think you just about summed up.... well, everything.

goblin!

We... have had many threads about prog...

MY FAVORITES!

Ahver
Bondage Fruit
Demi Semi Quaver
Dun ("Eros" is one of my favorite albums of all time)
Electrocution 250
Gentle Giant
Grand Ulena
Happy Family
King Crimson (duh.. "Red" era is the best)
Koenjihyakkei
Korekyojin
Hoyry-Kone
Magma
Ruins
Zs (though they're also avant-jazz as well)

THIS.

And Zombi, for stuff along the same wavelength.

gentle giant are great!

Yeah, Red's a killer.

Porcupine Tree? Yes, hm?

Never cared for it past early Crim.

I've never listened to Porcupine Tree, I always hear them talked up by Dream Theatre fans so I assumed it wasnt worth the effort.

i hate dream theatre but like porcupine theatre, strangely enough they were recommended to me by a dream theatre fan though, but he also liked PiL, so maybe he wasn't your typical dream theatre fan.

Italian prog bands that are worth checking out:

Bella Band
Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
Goblin
Campo Di Marte
Delirium
Nomadi
PFM ( personally I find they're the best of the lot, when they were good they were THAT good)
Elektriktus (especially for fans of Ash Ra Tempel and the like)
I Giganti

Red and Magma.

all you'll probably ever need.

Goblin if you're feeling a little cheesy.

YES, i love yes!

i also love crimson, virus, ruins, magma, voivod, coroner; thinking plague are good.

porcupine tree i find just ok, sometimes they are pretty tedious, sometimes they are good. most is not excellent.

my favorite is when a band is prog-based but operates in a different style as oppossed of being all out prog.

Are you quoting Joyce at the beginning of this post?





Anyway, Sonic Youth are prog.

no, i just love yes.

Anyone for Grobschnit? No?, okay then...

yeah, those. i dig brutal prog too. alechuatsitas, yowie, dazzling killmen, ruins applies, as does all the the bands mentioned by everyneurotic besides crimson.

i also consider things like meshuggah, cryptopsy, early DEP, coalesce, and shit like that to be progressive in their own little ways as all.

tool is prog influenced and they were amazing at one point.

and krautrock is often prog, so can, faust, neu, and amon duul.

prog is wayyyy too played out.

anti-prog is the future.
