holy fuck
>>128674201congrats on the discovery
>>128674201Babby’s first prog album
>>128674291why the judgement? we should be happy that babbies find their way.
>>128674291what now? most of my music before this was flaming lips, ween, of montreal(and those similar bands) and hip-hippy stuff like cibo matto
other two tracks aren't nowhere as good as the title track
>>128674359
>>128674597
>>128674359>what nowEmerson Lake & Palmer, Genesis, Rush, Van Der Graaf Generator, Camel, Le Orme, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Gentle Giant, King Crimson
>>128674291And it's still by far the best
>>128674359If you want essentially the same album, Relayer - Yes.OtherwiseFoxtrot - GenesisLarks' Tongues in Aspic - King CrimsonThick as a Brick - Jethro TullI don't want to inundate you, but this is the best prog resource out there. https://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?salbumtypes=1
>>128674772Foxtrot mogs
>>128674359The classic big prog bands are:S- tier: Yes, Genesis, King CrimsonA- tier: Van der Graaf Generator, Jethro Tull, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Gentle GiantQuestionably prog-tier: Pink Floyd, RushThis is not to say these are necessarily the best prog bands. They simply are what will most likely to stated if you ask a prog fan to name 5 of the biggest names in prog. Acquaint yourself with at least S tier then come back.
>>128674711salve fratello
>>128675042Do you not count Canterbury and Krautrock as prog? If so why not?
>>128674201it sucks ya.Listen to Rush and Pink Floyd
>>128675083Explore that after the biggest prime prog bands.
>>128675083I count Canterbury as prog. I am unfamiliar with krautrock, but I defer to the masses and say it's prog. But if you ask 100 prog fans to list 5 bands they call prog, Caravan or Hatfield and the North are not making it in more than a handful of lists. If you give someone 100 bands to look into, they're likely to be overwhelmed and call the whole thing off.
>>128675083I don't. They're all under the art rock umbrella but prog is a specific English quasi classical bombast that doesn't fully apply to them.
>>128675083distinct lyrically and presentation-wise, how the songs develop over their often long runtimes are almost antithetical in aim, and just inspired from completely different stuff
>>128675042>Questionably prog-tier: Pink Floyd, Rush?

>>128676927/thread
>>128675042Gentle Giant is S-tier
>>128674201oh yeah, it's fucking beautiful, op
What albums should I listen to if I want to avoid the "pop" sound from the 80s? It's not that I hate Belew era Crimson or Owner of a lonely heart but at some points it barely feels like rock
>>128677999there are none, but here's what you can do.1. buy digital reverb rack unit2. playback recordings with the remove gated reverb button on
>>128674201Bobby Pyn loved Yes
>>128674201close to the edge kicks ass
>>128674291It's popular and well known for a reason dumb fuck
Pretentious
It's one of the greatest achievements of human art ever. I'd recommend Beethoven's 9nth. Relayer is also very good, with To be Over being a personal favorite.
>>128680187Because it’s accessible and a pleb-friendly album
>>128681044What if I'm not white and underaged?
>>128674201the sloppy solos on the title track make me cringe
>>128675083Canterbury and Krautrock can be prog, but they're not the most well names in prog.Not all Canterbury bands are prog, and not all Krautrock are prog.But simply saying "progressive rock" does not invoke Canterbury or Krautrock bands. Nobody thinks of Amon Duul (krautrock that happens to be prog) or Hatfield and the North (canterbury that happens to be prog) when you say "progressive rock".No Canterbury or Krautrock band is really popular enough within progressive rock to be on an "essential progressive rock" list regardless of how great they are, and a lot of these bands, even the progressive ones, are only prog incidentally rather than connected to the main prog scene.
>>128682058Idiot
>>128674359Go with a sample platter of the best:Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (probably the best prog album ever made). King Crimson - Red, Larks Tongues, DisciplineGenesis- Foxtrot, Selling England, and LambRush- Moving Pictures, Signals, Hemispheres, really anything from 2112 to Counterparts.Pink Floyd is not prog just because they have one song in 7/4. ELP is wank trash. 80s era Genesis for all of its Phil Collins-lead pop influence is a better prog band than 90% of what else has been suggested here. Speaking of, you should also listen to Peter Gabriel's first four records and Collins' first two. >>128674562Siberian Khatru is the best song, wdym?
>>128674201Now's also time to shill the visual art of Roger Dean, who designed the Yes logo and most of their cover art. Search him, you're in for a trip.
>>128682058TRVKE
>>128675042Rush is progPink Floyd started as psych rock and become prog later
for me it's U.K.
>>128674201Here, try this.>>128685738Insanely based.
>>128685738For me it's Camelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VzpocWskt4
>>128674201Yes 10/10
>>128685894That is King Crimson - Lizard.
>>128686584>Sonic Adventure soundtrack starts
>>128674201yes, yes is really good>>128685894based
>>128686901you need to have sex
>>128686915Us proggers don't care for that
>>128675090Rush are overrated and have nought but a handful of great songs.
Progfags cry about Yes while listening to some 5 hour album of a dude in his dad's garage flapping his dick on a bass
>>128674201Now listen to this
>>128674201fuck, fuck, but not overfuck
>>128689290They don't have any albums that surpass the 8/10 mark, but their original run up until Presto is incredibly consistent.
>>128691538Live at Pompeii >> Everything else.
Chris Squires tone sucks cock
