>>129698336the 2nd LP of the lamb lies down is skipableagree or disagree?
>>129698380All Genesis except for Invisible Touch is skippable
>>129698389ah yes

>>129698442prog bros... its so over
>>129698380if you want to listen to a bad album, then yes, skip the 2nd LP
>The Hammond B3 solo on the track has been described by keyboard-player Rick Wakeman as the "greatest organ solo ever."Is he right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5064k8usrDU
>>129698389Maybe if you're a yuppie
>>129699619For me (and others) it's Wakeman's solo on Roundabout, which he was going to discard and re-do until Bruford talked him out of it.
>>129700837For me it’s Tony Banks’s solo on Apocalypse in 9/8
>>129698442basedfuck /prog/
Better album than every Yes album (except 90125, but not /prog/)
Are The Pineapple Thief the most mid modern prog band?I used to be into them years ago but in retrospect they mostly just sound like a weaker version of Stupid Dream/Lightbulb Sun era Porcupine Tree and Radiohead.Also their songwriting has ironically got more bland since Gavin Harrison joined them.

There's a torrent with a 100GB of Genesis stuff>>>/t/1378318might be worth checking out for the Genesis completionist
>>129699619Are you the same guy who posted Music From The Spheres by Argent within the past couple months?
>>129701468For me it's Tony Banks's solo on That's All
>>129702537It's funny when a prog metal fan gets lost
>>129699619>be Uriah Heep>be famous for your Hammond sound>decide to cover this song>but your Hammond wizard is not in the band anymore so you skip the solohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNugFt7G7ZI
>>129702301Their purpose is to be the Pepsi to Porcupine Tree's Coca Cola. Not good or needed, but only when they aren't there is when you start missing thouse B-C tier bands.
>>129703777No
>>129698380Agreed./thread

The only KC song I really love is Epitaph, where do I go with them from here?
>>129705924Red
>>129705924Green
Literally the best music ever created.
>>129702301I can't imagine they have actual fans. I feel like it's a bunch of people who collectively say "well, they're not bad." Then they see them on tour and figure it's better than nothing.
>>129705924Every song but Moonchild on their debut.
What is the newest 5/5 album in your mind? Return to Ommadawn in 2017 is regrettably the newest I can think of. The Likes of Us by Big Big Train in 2024 could have hit that mark, but only half the album is 5/5.

wtf is blud yapping about
Foxtrot and Selling England are so much better pre-2007.Wtf were they thinking?
>magma creates zeuhl because they felt music was becoming too anglo/american>first song on their debut album is sung in english???
this is where the genre peaked, im sorry /prog/it's beyond excellent
>>129715419didnt new Prog Niggas liked fat BBW bitches lol
>>129715189Yes we know and agree
>>129715432them canterbury brothas were real freaky..
>>129713022It's okay. They sound just like Glass Hammer, aka a soulless 21st century American symphonic prog band.
We generally don't associate hit singles with Prog bands because they always focused on albums. Besides Roundabout, what are some other instances of prog bands having hits?
>>129717916see >>129699619
>>129717916Oh yeah East of Eden's song Jig-a-Jig actually broke into the top 10 despite being a bizarre instrumental. https://youtu.be/178LOntoB4A?si=SAGdXbrBCN3PAcQL

>>129715432prog niggas eat ass.
>>129717916"Hit" is kind of a nebulous term without context. In the 70's, AM radio handled the top 40 hit rotation while FM DJs in major markets were mostly free to play whatever album cuts they wanted. They would do theme things like playing Money and Easy Money back-to-back.In '78, In the Dead of Night was such a popular track it led WMMR to arrange and promote a free U.K. concert at Penn's Landing, with an attendance estimate of 35,000.Billboard didn't officially track FM album hits until '81, after which pop-prog crap like Asia started to trend. It was all downhill from there.
Asia is fucking kino you pleb
>>129719825Progressive radio as a commercial enterprise was already virtually dead by then. The transition from freeform to AOR was underway by the mid 70s. Broadcasting is expensive and most local stations couldn't survive the 1970s recessions without taking on more corporate advertisers with top-down programming or just letting regional conglomerates buy them out. Record companies also played a large role in that because payola never dies and album rock was too massive a business in those days to be left to organic market trends.

>>129720452Do you know how I know you're gay?
>>129721074Their gimmick seems to be in line with popular traditions in Quebec of surreal pantomime and the like. It’s kind of ridiculous how it annoys so many people. The residents never got this much shit for hiding behind weird costumes and their music is often way more esoteric and abrasive.

Why is "For You" rated so low on RYM?https://rateyourmusic.com/song/emerson-lake-and-palmer/for-you/Currently at 2.78/5.00 If you listen to the song, it clearly doesn't deserve a rating that low. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmuZUj5su-MThat intro to the song is amazing.
>>129725184>song is over a minute long>made by white menAnon...
>>129725193non-white dudes also usually make songs over a minute long as well, especially in prog.
>>129725216If you're asking why a song is rated low on RYM, that's whyConsider that you can get banned for not rating TPAB a 5
>>129719825I dislike the 80's pop-prog generally but I have a soft spot for Asia. Their sound just works. Astra a favorite of mine and underrated.
>>129722649Generate nude Tayne
>>129722339Costumed bands are a dime a dozen and a source of great ridicule. Ghost, Sleep Token, Presidents. All hacks. Their sound doesn't excuse the vapid "lore" they want to attach themselves to.

Yesterday was the first day of spring. What are some good spring-themed prog albums? For me, it's Canto di Primavera - Bancohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrvT4cb6toEThen there's also Cinquieme Saison - Harmonium and Springsong - Hostsonaten
>>129729929Of these four, Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

I’ve been listening to THRAK for a week now, and I have to say it’s grown on me. Definitely the best of their 90’s reunionStrange how both reunions produced three albums, of which the first was the best and others felt draggy and drawn out
>>129751083I like the 90s reunion albums about equally. Discipline is the only good 80s reunion album and the other two are shit. Since THRAK grew on you after a while, I'd suggest giving Construkction and especially Power the same amount of attention.
>>129751083thrak has high highs, some of their best work, but tcol is more consistent
>>129699619I don't know if it's the greatest organ solo album. But Rod Argent is a contender for greatest rock keyboardist. I was sad to learn he had to retire from music a couple years ago.
Haven't visited /prog/ in a while but this shit goes fucking so hard I just had to share ithttps://youtu.be/ePK5zzauRjY?si=BisbhtuxSSXuz9cn
>>129744420>>129747089Thanks! Just listened to Koenjihyakkei's first album and so far I think I prefer this project. The guitar, keyboards, and female vocals give it a much richer sound. It is definitely closer to Magma's while still being its own deranged thing.will check out the others later
>>129753075While there's some traditional Jap prog, it's usually not as notable as their more experimental/avantgarde prog.The scene kind of splits into two directions between very zany zeuhl or very technical, stripped down math/prog.If you liked Koenjihyakkei, you should check out Bondage Fruit too.
>>129752955Holy soul.Why do the Japs do everything better?
are there any Japanese bands in the vein of ELO or Supertramp? Like... not jazz fusion nor city pop, but in that same brand of proggy pop they do.

In gadda da vida.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIVe-rZBcm4Is it prog or psychedelic?
>>129758648its psych, which is better
>>129758648if it can only be one, psychedelic. even if it could be both, i wouldn't consider it prog.
Sometimes I start to think maybe prog isn't the greatest genre
>>129761771Well ya if it was so good it wouldn't have died after 1979 (The Wall)..
>>129761771i mean its the greatest subgenre of rock probably, thats still something
