Talk about prog. I don't know. I don't make threads. If you're looking to listen to music, try out Return to Ommadawn by Mike Oldfieldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxB75bVkYxw

/prog/ keeps dying after only a few posts :/
>>127845534Perhaps it's because the threads usually quickly devolve into "Fripp sucks" circle jerks. At least we've moved past the unfortunate "Vander is a nazi" period.
>>127845534Imagine if prog had a bunch of sluts lipsyncing to their music? We'd be popular then.

Christmas
>>127845658The sax parts work pretty well and Rich is a half decent singer. Shame this lineup didn't last very long
I should start listening Soft Machine
>>127845534This is what you guys get for not liking prog metal
Apologize
>>127845199return to ommadawn is such a stinky followup to mike's best album
>>127846414*Apologazeuse
>>127846429Do you have ears? Ommadawn is a great album, but Return to Ommadawn blows it out of the water. It's a top 10 album of all time, and evokes emotion like no other.
>>127846347I've tried listening to Third but I'm afraid it filters me
>>127846614It filtered me for a long time. But now I like it.
>>127846604>Ommadawn is a great album, but Return to Ommadawn blows it out of the waterHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHHhahHhhaHhHahhahhahhahahahhahahhahahahahhaha
Just heard Fly by Night at the gym. breddy cool.
>>127845658I've got a poster of this lineup. It came with the Japanese vinyl of Breathless.
>>127845658I didn't realize I was in a prog band. I'll let you all guess which one of these people I look astonishingly similar to (style aside).
Any other Genesis lovers here?Favorite album? Song? Why? Play any instruments?>Seconds Out / Nursery Cryme>Cinema Show / Dance on a Volcano / Return of the Giant Hogweed>Guitar
>>127845658Is this Caravan?I LOVE the album In the Land of Grey and PinkNine feet underground is such a banger.Haven't heard any other album but I might in the next few days. I mostly like to hear albums in chronological order but any suggestions?
I can't find another rock thread, so pardon the off topic question. What do you call the rock of the 2000s? That's the music I remember the most. Stuff like Fountains of wayne, bowling for soup, funeral for a friend and the like. If anyone answers, thanks. I've always just been curious.
>>127847018>Favorite album?Selling England by the Pound>Song?Supper's Ready>Play any instruments?Piano/Hammond organ. I've learned Tony's parts for some their songs (Firth of Fifth, The Knife, Watcher of the Skies, The Musical Box) and I'm currently working on Apocalypse in 9/8. I'd like to buy a nice synth eventually so I can learn Cinema Show and Riding the Scree.
>>127845199>Ommadawn gets a sequel >Tubular Bells gets like 4 sequels>Hergest Ridge gets nothingit's not fair
oldfield peaked with amarok btw
More like Return to Ummagumma LOL #proghumour
>>127847063Those bands are a collection of pop punk, alt rock and emo rock/post punk which were all very mainstream at that time
>>127846614Just listen to slightly all the time until the other songs start to sound good. Moon in june and the others are gonna filter most people. Btw their first two albums are way more accessible and have tons of catchy melodies and interesting transitions every 60 seconds. Third is kind of intense even if it could be considered their best.
i think peter gabriel sucks more than fripp
Sound Awake is one of my favorite modern prog albums ever but I have tried for years and still couldn't get into this, it's like the songs are needlessly complex without being memorable.I really like the new singles though
>>127847063Fountains of Wayne is prog
>>127845534Too many shitty, contrarian opinions that sow division in the community. Can't really expect the generals to take off these days.
>>127847439Is this controversial? I could understand some people putting other albums ahead of Amarok, but it would always have to be in the conversation.
Currently enjoying some Le Orme
>>127850164Kino, even though I haven't listened to that album. I do like Il Fiume and Elementi as far as nu Orme is concerned.
>>127848646>frogniggeropinion discarded
Ween? prog.Death in june? prog.
>>127845802>Rich is a half decent singerHe's one of my favorite vocalists but I guess he's pretty limited and having Andrew sing some of the songs was a good call.>>127846940>It came with the Japanese vinyl of Breathless.On the one hand Peter was still in the band on Breathless, on the other hand Richard and Dave were already out on the next one, so, uh, yeah.
>>127848646Okay but what does Yes have to do with it
>>127850164Based acknowledger anon.
>>127847018>Favorite album? Foxtrot from Peter, Duke from Phil>Song? Why?Lately I've been loving Dodo / Lurker. Just a powerful, super catchy song. When Phil comes in with the bells at the end I ascend.>Play any instruments?Drums are my main and I know literally all the Phil parts by heart. Play a bit of bass and guitar too, but I have some irreparable nerve damage on my fretting hand from an injury, so unfortunately I can't play a lot of the 12 string / barre chord heavy Mike parts I like. Still want a double neck like him though.
>>127846398Name 5 prog metal bands that aren't Tool, DT, Opeth or Blood Incantation.
>>127845534I blame Tony Banks for this.
>>127851676>Lately I've been loving Dodo / Lurker.Abacab overall was pretty unique, they were finally firmly in pop territory but still goofy and experimental
>>127845199Sexiest progger, and that's a fact
>>127852093No
>>127852594
>>127846614Nah, it's quite good
>>127845609Why did that guy keep thinking he could sing? The nice went nowhere because he sounds like a rodent and Emerson preferred stealing Lake from KC
>>127847051Yes, do that. The first three or four marks of Caravan are all good

Caress of Steel turns 50
>>127852093Carried hard by his hair.
King of prog right here, mogs every other guy in the genre in every way, and to top it off it's the humblest motherfucker on the planet.
bump
>>127853828The image is a subtle joke. The band is called Camel, but half of the people in that particular lineup came from Caravan where Camel and Caravan both start with the sound "ca-", thus rhyming with a subgenre of progressive rock, Canterbury scene. The caption says that this is now "a canterbury scene thread" therefore, if we change half of Camel to former Caravan members, we get a misconception that Camel is a Canterbury scene band.

What is the best prog album of all time, and why is it Close to the Edge?
what other non-prog genres do you goys listen to? other than prog i also like Classical, Folk, Neofolk & some Baroque Pop like Scott Walker

hmmmm, i regret sleeping on camel for so long
>>127853835a lot of prog rock fans would enjoy these bands if they weren't so shut off to the idea of metal.
who is the Liszt of prog?
>>127848688I can see that point of view but I really like this album. "We Are" is such a great song. I'm glad we're finally getting a new Album from them.
>>127859988Camel puts me to sleep
>>127859111As a Rush fan who saw them live three times, I unironically agree it was not a big loss for music. His retirement was a moderate loss for music. Snakes and Arrows and Clockwork Angels were both mildly good, so he was still capable of making nonshit music. Peart dying in the 70s or 80s would have been a big loss for music. Dying in the 90s, maybe you'd think there was a chance he could still pull a rabbit out of his hat. But dying in 2020 had virtually zero impact on music.
y'all hyped for the new the lamb remaster?
>>127863269Buy an Ad Tony.

>>127860028Most of these are considered heavy prog, like halfway between rock and metal

No.
>>127863908fucking what lmao
>>127863908Moggs anything by Prog bands (except The Wall and Final Cut)
>>127863908So stupid.
Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres is the best prog rock song of all time.
>>127864685So stupid.
>>127865507Read another book
>>127864685it's not even comparable or trying to achieve the same thing as most prog, even "jazzy" prog like canterbury is more inspired by psych rock and classical than jazz, jazz has very little to do with prog, i'm not sure why they get compared so much.
>>127865782There are very few genres of music that don't suck, so a lot of jazz and prog fans cross over. Also, lots of prog bands and musicians did fusion stuff.
I'm about 3 minutes in and it just sounds like I'm playing Bejeweled.
Call me crazy but I have come to like Snakes & Arrows better than Clockwork Angels
Luv RogLuv Dave Luv Rick
hey /prog/, thanks for that Ethos 1976 album (ardour), pretty good stuff.i can see why they were forgotten, coming in too late, sounding a bit too generic, but they're not as bad a yes-clone as Starcastle, and the mellotron and guitar work is pretty damn good.didn't listen to the entire 77 album, but there's good stuff on there too, 'the players' sounds like a lost track from Lizard (but better)
>>127863688kek
>>127864113>>127864685>>127864874I was browsing ProgArchives to look for an answer to >>127863782 and just could not believe what I was reading lmao. Love that album to death but come on.
I'm trying to get deeper into prog but the only classic bands I like so far so far are Gentle Giant, Magma and pre-80s King Crimson, and later bands that are derived or influenced from these three.Everything else I've heard has either been extremely kitsch or not nearly as "progressive" as I'd hope for.
>>127867455post your favorite track from each
>>127867455>only classic bands I like so far so far are Gentle Giant, Magma and pre-80s King CrimsonMainly a classical/jazz bro? Those are the best bands for shit like counterpoint, improvisation, etc
>>127859711pink floyd
>>127859711Scott Walker is the fucking man, both pop and avant-garde periods. Scott 3 is a masterpiece

I am once again telling you to listen to Gryphon.
>>127868696Were they playing chess or cards?
>>127863908Not even the stupidest shit on there.
>>127868760S/T and Strange Days are the only albums here that could be considered proto-prog
>>127868787I agree. What the fuck is prog about Deep Purple and The Who? Not to mention that one boy band.
>>127868852I could see DP's first three albums in the 60s being seen as protoprog, but definitely not In Rock or Machine Head. Not to mention half of these albums came out well after Prog was an established genre
>>127868852Won't dispute it on all their stuff, but Child in Time is very clearly proto-prog.
>>127868852I could see the argument for Quadrophenia actually, if not for the fact it came out in '73. Though I don't think progarchives separates albums by genre, so a lot of bands that don't really fit end up in Proto-Prog or "Prog Related"
>>127859776Ended up giving this album a listen after reading this. It's almost as good as CttE. thanks anon :)
>>127868852>What the fuck is prog about Deep PurpleNigga....
>>127863908the problem (one of them at least) with Progarchives is that it labels an entire artist's discography as a single genreand if that artist has ever made anything remotely close to prog, then all of their music is labeled as suchin this case, jazz fusion is in there, because bands like Nucleus, Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra are prog adjacentso of course they had to put in straight up jazz guys like Miles, Chick Corea and Hancock in there - and label all the stuff they did as Jazz Fusion, even if it was only a fraction of their albums
>>127868923The Who is absolutely essential proto-proghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAEoVvswOcIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyjxciOiOdI

Fuck this is good. Unreal how much I love Fripp.
>>127868389Yes, all those plusUnivers ZeroComus
my record store recently got a collection from a guy it was something like 3000 records all rock and metal and he had every single album by all the big prog artists it's not fair...i have no money to buy it all...i did get pawn hearts and it's very good, never listened to vdg b4
Hate Fripp so much it's unreal
>>127868696i like this album but not enough to talk about it
>>127874216based fripp hater
>>127874495there really is nothing to talk aboutgood album, that's it
>>127874495>>127874737For me it’s one of those “I’ll listen to it but not with other people around” prog albums, because it’s just too fruity
Do you think the term "progressive" accidentally implies any false senses of superiority? Do you think standard rock is just as demanding as prog rock? I was browsing jazz music archives after the funny post from >>127863908 and couldn't help but click on the progressive big band page and found this summary to be pretty interesting.
>>127875015I think a lot of artists and scenes have a false sense of superiority. Punk is a great example even though their ethos is supposedly opposite or reactionary against prog.
Just listened to tthis. It was great and very relaxing, specially aftter listtening to Magma Live (which was great too).
>>127876178What should I listen next?
