>>123629330The OP looks like one of those terrible joke videos on YouTube.
I feel it's about time I'm dumping a bit of my 'tism about Roger Waters in this threadyou see I'm actually quite a fan of Rog's vocal despite people complaining that he can't sing for shit and I don't necessarily agree with it but that's not what I want to say hereBasically we know how Rog was more shy when it comes to singing at first, songs like 'If', 'Set The Controls...', 'Grantchester Meadows', 'San Tropez', 'Brain Damage, 'Eclipse' just to name a few, had him singing in a relatively quieter and lower-pitch vocal style. i think it was 'Shine on You Crazy Diamonds' where he finally realized the capability of his vocal range and that became the go-to of his singing style, whiny, shouty and constantly touched 5th octave even in full voice. in Animals he started to have more singing roles than Gilmour and it became the trend until The Final Cut. Then he left the band but he still sang like that in 'Pros and Cons.."but something happened in 'Radio K.A.O.S' where his vocal seemed to age 20 years in the span of 3 years since Pros and Cons. more strained, hoarse, maybe the smoking habit got to his throat + years of shouting recklessly to the mic. He barely showcased his huge vocal range anymore in this album although he could still reach some high notes in 'Towers of Faith' from When the WInd Blows OST.then 90s and Amused to Death came around and his vocal was more hoarse than ever but it managed to hit some impressive high note like in 'Too Much Rope' or the sustained A4 in 'What God Wants Part II'. And that's it for his 90s, he was mostly hiatus during this decade, perhaps some seething time from seeing how highly successful The Division Bell is. oh yeah I almost forgot he did that The Wall Live in Berlin and his vocal range was still pretty impressive despite some aging. his other output in this decade was 'Lost Boys Calling' that had 2 versions, the demo one where he was still wailing pretty high. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gbLxCd-670
>>123638767and came 2000s which was pretty much the last instance where Rogers could still sing with high pitch. he's in his 60s already but he still could belt some high notes in some tunes. the last part of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSD9hMc7NQI, and surprisingly this track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvW7IWGPOlA which was recorded when he was already 64y0 which I found surprising because the chorus had his best high notes since forever (?) I was surprised he could still those notes and it's pretty clear as well, I thought maybe some autotune was involved but who knows?anyway that's pretty much from me. his 2017 solo albums didn't have many impressive high notes which is expected considering his well advanced age.
>>123638767I liked your ted talk a lotim not a fan of Rogers voice when it shows emotions, but its not like I think he cant sing

Why is Hatfield and The North so good and much better than shit like Yes and Genesis, bros?
>>123639745You know why
Some of Fripp's most perplexing comments on other music concern the Western art music tradition. On the one hand, the music of some of that tradition's masters has figured prominently in Fripp's own musical self-education. He has often acknowledged his debt to Bartok, particularly the Bartok of the String Quartets, many of whose movements sound positively Frippian, with their intense linear counterpoint, percussive rhythms, odd metrical schemes, extended tonality, exotic scales, and piquant dissonances. Stravinsky's name comes up from time to time, as when Fripp mentioned the Russian in a discussion of tuning, temperament, and enharmonic pitch notation; on another occasion he called early Stravinsky "really hot stuff." Fripp expressed admiration for Handel, Bach, Mozart, and Verdi in a 1980 essay, but he was not focussing on their music so much as he was making the point that these composers had had to teach themselves how to thrive creatively while working in "very difficult political and economic conditions ... Surely the most surprising point is how much inspired work had prosaic origins."
>>123639986Fripp came to believe, however, that many of the progressive rock groups of the early 1970s were not so much intrigued with the intangible spirit of King Crimson - that special way of listening, of doing things, of making music - as they were intent on aping Crimson's outer musical vocabulary: the virtuosic musicianship, the epic, extended forms, the exotic harmonies, the quasi-mystical, mythological lyrics, the wide variety of instrumental sound colors. Full-blown Gothic rock was a genre for which Fripp had absolutely no use. Declared a majestically scornful Fripp to John Rockwell of the New York Times in 1978: "I don't wish to listen to the philosophical meanderings of some English half-wit who is circumnavigating some inessential point of experience in his life." Fripp's rhetorical attack on the movement he'd helped create continued in his own column in Musician, Player, and Listener in the early 1980s, ridiculing "enthusiastic art-rock space cadets whose sudden success seemed to validate pretensions on all levels; they huddled in unholy quorum with pliant engineers to generate excess everywhere." Fripp's critique of 1970s rock extended to jabs at the stars who had let themselves get fat: in his view, they "became more interested in country houses and riding in limousines, expensive personal habits and all that. The rock musicians who were public figures in the 70's copped out, and now we have cynicism towards our public figures that is wholly justified."

Does Bitches Brew count as prog?
>>123631647Ah, country music, an exquisite tapestry of tradition and emotion, often misunderstood by those masquerading as discerning music aficionados, its genuine storytelling and heartfelt narratives, serves as a natural filter for midwits, those who skim the surface of complexity without appreciating deeper meanings. It stands as a profound reflection of the human experience, intertwining the raw simplicity of rural life with intricate storytelling that demands a more sophisticated listener. While the uninitiated may dismiss it as mere twang, those of us with a more cultivated aesthetic recognize its rich heritage, steeped in folk influences and poetic lyricism that surpasses the superficiality of most rock/pop. Truly, to indulge in country music is to embrace a nuanced appreciation for themes of love, loss, and the human condition, elevating one's auditory palate beyond the pedestrian confines of contemporary musical trends, Verily, the sole domain that eclipses the profound artistry of country music lies within the exalted realms of Baroque composition, particularly as exemplified by the eminent figures of Heinrich Schütz and Dieterich Buxtehude.However, to address your query in an unequivocally articulate manner: Townes Van Zandt cannot be classified as "prog" in the traditional sense, unless one refers to his affiliation with the "Progressive Country" movement of which he was indeed a notable participant, however, this affiliation bears no substantive relation to the genre of "Progressive Rock."
>>123641362>Ah,
>>123641347Ah, how delightful it is when individuals attempt to intertwine the illustrious tapestry of progressive rock with the avant-garde brilliance of Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew," a rather audacious endeavor that only underscores a lamentable ignorance of musical sophistication. no, i will not explain.

>>123644161the moody blues debut album is nothing special. english blues album. Pretty good one, but still generic and outplayed for it's time. their one and only 'hit' was a song they didn't even write. However what's really interesting about early moody blues would be the year 1967, which was after they reformed with justin and john, but before they got famous with nights in white satin. At the beginning, they had almost no intention to change from the bluesy style that denny laine cultivated, but there were certain elements of progressive pop in their Singles from this timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lQrZpSyevUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WSJo5t4lnkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2RiJGTa3pAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhbKh95r8jEWhen they got mega famous, they completely abandoned this 'hybrid' half-progpop half-rnb thing they had going on that year.

In some ways, I think Robert always managed to land a good timing with when he broke up the band, by the mid 70s, prog was starting to meander as a genre, some good albums still came out, of course, but there were legitimate reasons why people got tired of it. It helps that whenever the band did come back, they always did so with a radically different sound than the last era, adapting to the time but still keeping their identity.
>>123647042see >>123647021
Fripp seriously is the reason KC is good, why do you think none of the others ever got close to the level of Larks (an album that was solely Fripp's creation)? think about ELP is TRASH, McDonald and Giles is TRASH, etc. etc.

Over thirty session musicians were involved in its making, on two continents. Greep says, “Half of the tracks were done in Brazil, with local musicians pulled together at the last minute. They’d never heard anything I’d done before, they were just interested in the demos I’d made. The tracking was all done in one, maybe two days.”
>>123648117amazingly basedbrazilian musicians are literally god modeand I've looked it up: the drummer in this song is Thiaguinho Silva, son of famous Robertinho Silva, who recorded with Milton Nascimento, Som Imaginário, Lô Borges, Marcos Valle, Luiz Melodia, Gal Costa, etckino of the highest order

>>123652541As long as the bots keep recommending me new music I dont know I wont complain
>>123652483Maybe, but it's more in the way these chatbots work like. They are pretty much advanced searched engines with some very fancy language processing algorithms behind. They pretty much use whatever data they find on the Internet, like the /mu/ archive and generate a response based on the analised data. My cousing is studying this shite and explained me some of that stuff.Some nerd on /sci/ or /g/ could actually explain this much better.
>>123652279it's not that accurate honestly, i never see people talk about Italian prog here aside from the most popular ones and Goblin.

Ah, Verbose fag if you’ve just been using chatgpt I am very disappointed in you
>>123652845i don't think that's actually the full story, i've been researching this "verbosefag" along with "nicosperg" and actually the rabbit hole goes deeper, but i don't want to talk about it because this rabbit hole leads to conclusions that you cannot un know.

STAND BACK
>>123652676for me? it's Boris
>>123653295i agree Boris is probably the better album, but Baboon has better cover art (on both versions)
>>123653189Why the joker look?
Snap back to reality
>>123647104the Fripp haters can't argue against these points.

>>123651706We get it, you're mad at your dad for having better taste than you.
>>123653805And Discipline is so good way more because of Belew than Fripp.
Is there any metal with Canterbury-style organ sounds? You know, that fuzzed organ flavour
>>123654311NOLet's keep metal out of the Canterbury Scene. I don't want any greasy headbanger to tell me how Robert Wyatt was "metal as fuck, bro!".I want my very English, whimsical music to stay away from people who don't know colours other than black and red.
>>123654354Good shout, fair enough
>>123654354absolutely based

>>123654653that's the very concert that inspired my wyatt drawings
>>123654669
>>123654311I think there's a few psychedelic black metal bands with fuzzy/spaced out 70s organs but I'm blanking on the names since I haven't really been into metal for close to a decade now
bump
>>123654354I don't really mind metal (as in I have no strong feelings about it) but dear god metal fans are insufferable. The way they try to intellectualize it by claiming it's actually SUPER SIMILAR to classical music I SWEAR BRO is just embarrassing. Don't even get me started on "battle vests".
>>123653805>Larks was a group project, in which Muir, Cross and Brufford are pointed out as having tremendous influenceblah blah blah, that is all nonsense shut the fuck up>ELP was brilliant>ELP>BrillianttopKEK they made ONE decent album, and 3 mediocre, generic prog albums, the rest are trash>McDonald and Giles was spiritually closer to ITCOCK than anything elsemeaningless>it was was far superior to ITWOP, Lizard, SABB, and anything post-DisciplineHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA>fripp never had a good original thought in his mind, he's a mediocre improviserthat's just your awful opinion>can only play repetitive dissonant scales up and downyeah because that's what sounds good>an egotistical autistic manlet who, and a terrible bandleader with a frail ego is there evidence of this other than hearsay? because it's pretty common for people to lie about shit like this.
>>123655436Get a room
I don't understand soft machine. Third is basically a Jazz album. Like I'm sure if you're into Jazz its great but I want to listen to prog ROCK.
>>123655749its not totally jazz, its jazzy rock...
>>123655749>expecting ROCK from SOFT Machine
>>123655749It's both, out-bloody-rageous is a straight up prog rock instrumental
>>123655436I knew frippfags were as autistic as their idol, but you're a special kind of spaz

anyone going to san diego beat in a few hours?
>>123656908I'm gonna beat one off in a few hours
>beating off while listening to beat before I eat my beet dinner
>>123656816to be fair you do have to have a pretty high IQ to understand my sense of humor.
>>123656101not that anon and i'm not a huge fan of Fripp, but it sounds like you have a hateboner for him, he's definitely slightly autistic and that makes him come off as an asshole sometimes, but he seems like a nice guy in interviews, and i also don't care about the personalities behind the music that much, so i really don't know that much about Fripp or any of the other members, so i'm open to being proven wrong, but it just sounds like a bunch of assumptions, also my copy of Lizard sounds pretty good, which one do you have? i've heard the original CDs are pretty bad Vinyl transfers.
>>123656101>derivative and dry, fripp tried copying what his former bandmates had done before>everyone acknowledges this as a lesser version of their debutthis is nonsense, ITWOP is not that similar to ITCOTCK, sure some songs sound similar, but nothing on ITCOTCK sounds like Cat food for example, Cadence and Cascade is also a great song, much better than ITTTW
>>123656101BASEDI don't hate Fripp and I acknowledge his importance, since he put together such band. However, listening to King Crimson, I never fail to notice just how much the rest of the band has contributed to each album. It becomes even more apparent when you hear Fripp's solo works. Why didn't he made something like Islands? He worked with David Sylvian, his voice was perfect for something similar.>>123655410Same, I like some bands, but the overall thing is just too much.
>>123651207But, but, but what about friends

Fripps best work is playing on Peter Gabriel's albums.
Fripp's best work is the Windows Vista startup sound
>>123659750>he didnt even play on the best trackFrippers...
>>123655749The fact you think it's just a jazz album tells me you never listen to jazz
>>123655410totally agreed, they always overstate the similarities between classical, sometimes jazz too. like no bro, a violin or piano playing a solo that would sound just like a standard metal solo on guitar is not fucking classical music
>wake up and check /prog/ >yet more shitslinging about frippwhat happened these past few threads
>>123659750And Bowie's
>>123655410It’s really only the more elaborate stuff like power metal and symphonic metal that invite the classical music comparisons. No metalhead would ever argue that Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Slayer or Darkthrone are “the new classical”.
>>123660255The same thing that destroys every long-term general on this website.Shitposters and teenagers looking for engagement to the point they're willing to destroy entire threads for days, if not weeks or in extreme cases years on end for attention.
>>123659782>he played on the worst Windows OSFrippsisters...
>>123660612>people are hating on muh fripp, they must be shitposting!!what is this cope?can't you fathom the idea that maybe some people dislike the guy?I've never seen anyone complaining whenever he's praised as le epic guitar man instead
>>123660783you mean that which passes, passes like clouds?
>>123660702disliking fripp is fineI know he's not for everyone and there are parts of his playing I'm not entirely intobut people seem to go out of their way to entirely write off practically anything he contributes to an album and that giles and macdonald are gods great gift to prog or something it's not valid criticism or actual discourse, it's just being a sperg
>>123660660>>123659782Fripp unironically lost
>>123660854Fripp raped your mind.
maybe if Fripp can play good melodic guitar solo then maybe people would rate him more
>>123660865Calm down Robert
>>123660918his Golden Hours solo on that Eno album is beautiful
Imagine if Fripp was here and read everything you guys post about him, what would he think about you fucking cucks?
>>123659782>>123660660>VistaVista is actually good, it's a pleb filter.
bill bruford created the first ubuntu startup sound based on melodies originally whistled in 1971
>>123660844yeah, you can tell the anons shitting on him are underage, because they never post actual criticism, it's all just shallow speculation based on little to no actual evidence, basically youtube drama level shit, and they clearly want to hate him, i'm fine with people disliking Fripp, but these posts are obviously from edgy teenagers that are looking for any reason, even the smallest thing to hate him, so i just ignore it, who cares.
>>123660844I think it's mostly a counterpoint to people who overglorify himI frankly think he may be just autistic, which grants him the reputation of a difficult person to work with, from what I've gatheredbut overall, one can't deny his role in what made King Crimson what it is, regardless of how crucial his bandmates were in every incarnation
>>123661058Anything before Windows 8 is preferable to the unbearable slop they’ve been serving up since then. MS was ground zero for tech companies that have nowhere left to expand so resort to bleeding their existing userbase dry.
