I'm curious to know if anyone likes progressive rock here. My favourites are Yes, Focus and Gentle Giant. And what about you? |

Tull are my favorite 'prog-rock' band. |
| user name 30.11.2006 18:35 |
Yes. (Now, would that mean that I like prog rock, or that I like the band Yes?) |

I love Jethro Tull. |

I kinda figured that Queen had ventured into prog at times. I am also a Tull fan. Seems to be a common theme here. |
| willem-jan 8923 01.12.2006 03:47 |
I'm more into prog-metal, bands like Dream Theater, Tool, Symphony-X etc. |

Of course I know the most of these prog bands - I start to become more and more 'prog rock fan':).

To all you Tull fans. Aqualung/Thick As Brick is key ;) |

Pink Floyd. <33333 |

Is it really progressive anymore? They went and did it all... those bastards. To play music of those genres now would actually be 'regressive rock'. Shit. I think I just found myself a label! |

Even Jethro Tull "80's" it out at one point, but it's still good stuff.

As far as Genesis is concerned, I would take a similar approach. Lamb is truly a work of art, but you need an introduction. Instead of Nursery Cryme, which is good, I would go for Foxtrot instead. It's got all the bells and whistles. Now Peter is going to take you on a trip, but Foxtrot allows you to see the Guitar & B3 combo that Banks & Rutherford bring to the table. Selling England continues that, but Peter starts to really shine at this point and really takes your attention off the rest of the music. You do get to hear lead vocals from Phil for the first time, though. |

I love prog rock..Queen (early years), Tull, Yes...all amazing. |
| mystic_rhythms 05.12.2006 11:42 |
RUSH!!!! My God, I can't believe you all forgot Rush! Why Rush, though? Well, here's why: Throughout their early days (1970's), they pretty much perfected the prog-rock sound. However, it wasn't the conventional type of rock that had been popular several years prior. Instead it was an edgy, excruciatingly powerful sound that only the trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart could create and share with the world. Now this isn't the first time I've mentioned Rush as one hell of a band...but I still can't believe no one else has mentioned them in this topic. |
| Micrówave 05.12.2006 12:49 |
Yes, but it was Canadien. |

I heard that Frank Zappa can also be categorized into 'prog'; does someone here likes his music and could recommend me with which album to start? Thanks in advance. |
| unknown 13.12.2006 16:04 |
Thank you Danny for the advice. Frank-a-licious, can you say me with wich Frank Zappa album it is best to start? Thank you very much:) |

Micrówave wrote: Let's not forget Jethro Tull. And Genesis WITHOUT Peter is POP, not PROG.Slightly disagree... listen to A Trick Of The Tail, Wind And Wuthering, and And Then There Were Three... they were still very prog. They didn't shift to pop until Duke, which was 5 years after Gabriel left the band. Sure, their singles from '78 onward were pop, but every "commercial era" (if you will) Genesis album still has its nods to prog. mystic_rhythms wrote: RUSH!!!! My God, I can't believe you all forgot Rush!I didn't forget! Rush are one of Canada's greatest exports. They're definitely one of my favourite bands. You're preaching to the choir! Micrówave wrote: Yes, but it was Canadien.What the hell do you have against Canadians, anyway? You've whined about them at least twice before, as if 30 million people should be subject to some kind of stereotypes or prejudice. <b><font color = "crimson"> ThomasQuinn wrote:I love the first few King Crimson albums!
