John Peel says the greatest band of all time are "The Fall".his opinion on music is about as valuable as the turd I squeezed out this morning
>>129893029His show was the premiere platform for progressive and experimental music before punk and indie were a glimmer in some fashion designer's eye.
>>129892945LMFAO LOOK AT HIS HEAD THOUGHT THIS WAS THAT DRUNKEN DYING PHILL COLLINS

Fewer things are so evocative for me as the 1994 Yes album “Talk”. Widely disliked by critics and fans, like all Yes albums of this era, it is and has always been one of my favorites. Of course I love the classic Yes lineup, and have spent so much time with Fragile, Close to the Edge, even Time and a Word. But Talk (along with the 2001 release “Magnification”) will always hold a special place in my heart. I can still recall the first time I heard it. I remember looking in the mirror afterwards experiencing a radiating tingle I've only since felt under the influence of psychedelics. I must’ve been about 13, downstairs on the couch. Sitting there with a laptop, I felt compelled immediately after beginning it to close my eyes and take it in. Not far into the first track, “The Calling”, I knew I was hearing something for the first of a thousand times. With no hyperbole I probably listened to it at least a thousand times. That track in particular almost every day in high school. I would listen to it on my solitary walks, around the neighborhood and down to the creek. I find it difficult to put into words how I feel when I hear it. From the first track to the end of the titular capstone epic, I am enraptured when I put this album on to this day. It transports me to a realm of adolescent optimism. Before the arc of my life was visible, when anything seemed possible, when everyone I love was at most a phone call away. Now everyone I love is dead. I have only so much time left and I know I'll spend a third of it pushing a mop around for minimum wage.What albums do you suspect no one loves more than you do?

What are some essential King Crimson albums besides Red? Does TPTB count?
>>129906192>Progressive metal is a genre that features Metal's amplified, guitar-driven sound and fuses it with technical proficiency and Progressive Rock-inspired virtuosity.https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/progressive-metal/TLDR: progressive metal is a combination of metal and progressive rock. Therefore prog metal is prog.
So Peter Hammill's early solo stuff is just VDGG in all but name, right?
>>129906344King Crimson really doesn't have any serious duds I think. ITWOP is too samey to ITCOTCK, Lizard is perhaps a little too scatterbrained, TOAPP is not as consistent as the other two 80s albums and Thrak has a fair amount of filler, but all of those albums have more than enough good qualities to make them worthwhile in their own ways. TPTB is pretty polarizing because of the obvious Tool influence and the dated production but I think it's still easily the most consistent and vigorous set of the Trey Gunn era.
>>129892955Peel's head was full of nonce-sense.
>>129906580His head was full of the autistic knowledge of thousands of shitty demo tapes
Queen II was rereleased a few weeks back.

how important are lyrics to you, /preg/? i think i have officially entered the "couldn't care less" zoneat least with magma there's a story behind most of their albums and there's even translations for certain words, but this is genuine nonsense territory.. and i fuck with it https://youtu.be/TjFn3G_uSko
>>129907672I don't care It's all talk...
>>129907672There's no story behind Koenjihyakkei's lyrics and they are gibberish, but they're still structured like a language rather than just being random sounds.IIRC they've only released lyrics for stuff on thier first album and a few Kobaian loanwords like Zeuhl Wortz shows up.
>>129907672>>129908086
>>129908086>kobaian loanwords
>>129908124I know it's silly but what else would you call it?I'm just pointing out that like Magma, they do actually sing in a constructed language with its own rules and recurring "words", but unlike Magma they've just never released a story or meaning to go along with it.
>>129906712Not prog, just shit with an overrated singer.
>>129892955I think it's somewhat due to the haircut and the angle. It didn't look quite that big as he got older.
>>129908308Early Queen was prog up until Day At The Races.Also, this was one of 4 good albums they did.
Progbros who can count.Disclaimer: not prog, I need helpwhat the fuck is going on in this song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gXkbaYwG3IIf I were to count it and play, it's extremely tough. The second bar of the chorus has a weird length. The verse after the chorus has a different 1.Then you watch a live video of it and the band seems to be unconscious of these rhythmic quirks.https://youtu.be/fPewGj1K_Hk?si=NqvzMob5bJ7ZBS6e&t=213
>>129903422the itlogap one was kinda shite because of how much AI filler he slapped on screen, but generally pretty keen. real oldfags remember Minerva's Gaze
>>129909045Oh yeah I forgot about that lol. Glad he didn't keep that up.
