Hey, cool! An eighty-minute documentary on why punk had to happen!
>>128196777>whispers of clayYes sucks
>>128196777Genesis was always so much better than Yes
this album is proof that not all pretentious wankery is fast
>>128196777Tales from Topographic Oceans [Atlantic, 1974]Nice "passages" here, as they say, but what flatulent quasisymphonies--the whole is definitely less than the sum of its parts, and some of the parts are pretty negligible. I mean, howcum they didn't choose to echo Graeco-Roman, Hebrew, and African culture as well as the lost Indian, Chinese, Central American, and Atlantean ones? Typical hyperromantic exoticism is one answer, and everybody would know they're full of shit is the other. C
>>128196777There's plenty of room for both punk and progăfolks shouldn't be arguing over music when we can argue about other things at least.
how did prog manage to burnout in roughly 5 years?

>>128196777it's the best prog album of all time and you're an absolute pleb>>128197453they quickly concluded and solved rock music
>>128198916>t. coping contrarian
>>128198998Music critics only liked punk to be contrarian themselves. Let them pick up an instrument and try playing La Villa Strangiato or Yours Is No Disgrace or Thela Hun Ginjeet from start to finish. Pro tip: they can't. While I love punk (and especially 80s and 90s hardcore like Iceburn, Quicksand and Born Against) punk was music for non-musicians.
>>128196777To sell edgy t shirts?
>>128196777>punkdon't care.
>>128198916Just listen to classical, fag
>>128201803they don't even try to be the same thing, idiotfuck off
>>128196852TRVKE
>>128196777im of the firm belief that punk rock and prog rock can be friends
>>128196777you copy pasted a RYM review lmao
>>128196777Checked and correct
>>128196777It's not bad but it's nowhere near as good as Fragile or Close to the Edge and it's longer than both of those albums combined so it's an easy album to hate.>>128206216You'd think with all the post-punk and post-hardcore bands influenced by prog they'd at least be an begrudging respect between the two but they're still archnemeses until the end of time.
>>128199087>punk was music for non-musiciansI mean, it worked didn't it? Eventually all of mainstream rock became stuff like nu metal and pop punk for non-musicians.
>>128208750>I meanwhy do you feel the need to talk like that? just say what you mean already
>>128208704post-punk might as well be prog-punk
>>128196777>IM GOING TO MAKE THE SHITTIEST MUSIC POSSIBLE BECAUSE I DONT LIKE PROG!punk is the biggest joke around
>>128208704Tales > CttE > Relayer > Fragile > Yes Album > GftO > Time and Word > everything else
Punk was a psyop pushed by CIA because psychedelic/prog/krautrock unironically causes your brain to tap into higher frequencies and attain higher consciousness. This freaked the fuck out of the elites so they had to shut it down with shitty punk.
>>128209118That album rips tho
>>12819677730% of the album is pleasant but the rest is boring. prog dorks seem easily impressed, i reckon
Yes is busyprog that is produced like shit and has bad guitar tones FUCK you Howe and Squire is overrated
