>>129578146why do people give peter gabriel a pass for selling out? he was just as guilty as phil, even moreso at points
love me some Jethro Tull
>>129510317
>>129578152peter still made music with soul that you could listen to repeatedly. OVO and UP are kino. Melt and Security are both 50/50 kino/bino. Solsbury Hill is one of the greatest normie-friendly songs of all time.Phil has a few songs that are fun to listen to a couple times before you get sick of them.
Will it ever get a decent remix?
>>129578146>talentless hack
>>129578152Because it became a meme to hate on Phil that got regurgitated by NPCs. You're trying to prescribe a rational explanation for an irrational phenomenon, among an irrational species. Phil was subjected to a primitive witch hunt, truth and rationality had nothing to do with it. Humans are little more than mutated apes and they love them a good witch hunt at the end of the day, the who or why of it doesn't really much matter
>>129578146Trying to learn more Prog on the geetar, what do you guys recommend?
>>129580412Twitter loves him but only when he's doing that long march to the drum kit when singing in the air tonight. funny
>>129578146who?
What is the album equivalent to Song of the Sea?

>>129582877Sounds alright, maybe I should listen to more of this
sometimes i want to stop listening to prog for like 6-12 months, just so i can rekindle the joy i once felt listening to it. but then i try listening to any other type of music and it all sucks. so i go back to prog which is at least enjoyable.
Do people actually hate Peter Sinfield's lyrics, or is that just a meme?
>>129585672only that retard fripp doesKC is Sinfield's band, he's the one who made it what it is
>>129585672His lyrics on ITCOTCK are great, but he couldn't make lightening strike twice.
>>129585672They wear thin after a while
>>129585672we all know ladies of the road is a lyrical masterpiece
Annie
>>129585672I do not pay attention to lyrics until like the 20th listen, and even then I do so obliquely. Peter Sinfield is one of a very select few lyricists I pay attention to (Peart and Hammill are the two main other ones)
>>129585672Sinfield, Ian Anderson and Peter Hammill are the only good lyricists in prog
>>129586410Pete did great things for Selling England & The Lamb, though
>>129586410Ian Anderson's lyrics are the worst thing about his songs.
>>129578152Cause he didn't make slop like susudio or I can't dance
>>129586604I admit, I like I Can't Dance
>>129586617Then you must also like his worst piece Illegal Alien
>>129586596The worst thing about his songs is having a tranny play keyboards on some of the albums
>>129586596Filtered
>>129586472Cuckoo Cuckoo is beautiful
>>129586775*Cuckoo Cocoon
>>129586764Sorry, but a lot of his lyrics are really pretentious "we live in a society" crap.
>Steven Wilson can't make kin-
>>129586805that's half of prog thoughthe other half is just gibberish
I love the early records of The Soft Machine, and I'm sort of baffled by their history.They had a great run over their first 4 albums, and I like some of their jazz fusion stuff too, although not as much.But it seems strange to me the way the band so quickly changed their sound when making Third, which, except for Wyatt's gorgeous Moon In June, completely deflects from their previous whimsical Canterbury Sound that made them stand out in the previous records. And after that, another tonal shift on Fourth, and from then on they weren't even the same group anymore.Ratledge firing Wyatt over the phone after recording Fourth seemed so shitty too, those guys probably had a lot of animosity amongst themselves, because they'd been together for years at that point, and Ratledge just shoved Bob out of his own band like thatbesides, he didn't even help the guy after his accident or anything. Some of the other Canterbury Scene people at least took their time to colaborate with him or something, but it seems like Ratledge and Wyatt never spoke again very sad
>>129587311>they weren't even the same group anymoreAnd Ratledge left the band after a couple of records too, so it was a totally different bunch of people playing totally different music than their early materialSo why keep calling themselves Soft Machine?
>>129580477Fracture is great even if you use it as just a practice routine, very versatile for working on a lot of different techniques >crosspicking>alternate picking>left and right hand coordination >general stamina>lots of your pinky involved
>>129587354$$$
>>129587631yeah late Soft Machine must have been making millions off of that name
>>129578146Could I please get some prog rock recs that match the Spy vs Spy aesthetic? Thanks
>fripp's great/shit>rog vs gilmour>peter vs phil>magma nazi lore>prog metal sucks>acknowledge [artist]>recommendations nobody will bother listening>is [non prog artist] prog?are we done here? can we move on?
>>129589865We need to bring back Tarkusposting
>>129589989I think we may as well give up on trying to make this general workno content is being made and people don't engage in discussionsit's easier to make separate threads to talk about specific artists, albums or movements altogether
Favourite Spock's Beard album?
>>129590773They never topped the debut
STAND BACK
How is it possible for a human to drum that fast
>>129591348I never got the hate for Carl Palmer's drumming, I always thought he sounded pretty good

>rog vs gilmour Gilmour >peter vs phil Peter
>>129593289I didn't even know he was hated until this general started
>>129593573>>rog vs gilmour >GilmourGood call. Roger is just an attention-seeking contrarian wanker
I'm going through VDGG's discography in order and while it really started to blur and feel samey around Still Life I'm glad I kept going because this is pure, absolute kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu73OnOByy4
>>129593795I didn't even know he was hated until that post.
Just discovered Sebastian Hardie today. Good shit.
>>129594043Is that my nigga Tony Banks on keys?
New 2026 zeuhl from last month.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k1N2N8rJd8

>>129587311>>129587354It’s funny too, because Kevin Ayers and Mike Ratledge were chill with each other
>>129594239>CorimaAre they actually good now? Or are they still a third-rate Koenjihyakkei?
wtf why nobody told me about this? I just finished listening to it and it's amazingmore italo-prog like this?
>>129587354He left it at the very end, I think the only stuff he wasn't there for was Land Of Cockayne (an absolute travesty this one) and their 2010s reunion albums. He was a guest musician on Softs technically so I'm counting itI'll say it: late Soft Machine is underrated, especially Six, Seven, and Bundles. I love Wyatt and Ayers but all three are great and all three have periods of utter shit (talking about Nothing Can Stop Us and Diamond Jack & The Queen Of Pain, respectively)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFFG4WpWawI

>>129594395>especially Six, Sevenlol, MUSTARRRRRD!!!
>>129594375Ok chief if you loved that one, you can only go up from here. Sorry I'm posting so much PFM, they're the overwhelming king of the genre, most Italian Prog bands break up after an album or two but they have well over 10Storia Di Un Minuto (THE og)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRECHJTprCMPer Un Amico (for they keyboard lovershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yDEJ2h9RygSuonare Suonare (violin heavy gem that nobody talks about)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWW4kjKZ_CwZarathustra (if you like prog epics)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgCC4Lhw4sAAlphataurus (angstfest in the best possible way)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5_i_I-KGUcDarwin!

>>129594513It was fine. Nothing particularly enticing. Definitely outside the top 20 italian bands.
Acknowledge Kansas
>>129595023Prog needs more fiddle
>>129587311It's downright Out bloody rageous
>>129594513>>129594894Nah, don't diss them. Padre is an awesome track. Spacy enough that it carries itself well, normal enough that you can show a real Italian prog to people with normal(ish) tastes without looking insane
>>129595243I don't think saying something "fine" is a diss.
>>129595243>Padre is an awesome trackthere you go.the rest is just ok, maybe, but if only for those 2 tracks alone, Padre and Vertigine, yes they are top notch.their album backing a singer is not quite there but still has really great moments
This thread reminded me to do my occaisoonal prog binge and I found this gem.https://youtu.be/yoxHGxQw9ws?si=ymSMzkkflZLe1yVq
>>129595035I agree, it covers a lot of the electronic sounds when no electronic equipment is unavailable or a fiddler just wants to take part in the fun. I found these covers lying around.Fiddler is probably quite drunk here but does a decent job nonwithstanding the mishapshttps://youtu.be/dRufklAr6zA?si=YMqnc2-X22rLtKMtThese chicks add some folksy steel guitarhttps://youtu.be/rO4_Dl3X-24?si=L485kBzBd7DHxUdJ

Magazine reader reviews Yes in 1972. This is the closest boomers had to RYM.
>>129586410Cedric from Mars Volta is up there too
Any fans of Popol Vuh and Amon Duul II here? I went to a concert by a small cover band yesterday and some of the original members were there and even played some of the songs with the band (Renate Knaup doing vocals with the lead girl from the cover band and Danny Finsch on the drums/guitar). It was sick af.
