Rush as the fathers of Prog Metal?  I consider Black Sabbath were moreso.  What do you think?

Black Sabbath were the father of everything that anyone is hearing today in rock, metal music.

If for prog metal, I don't think Rush  or BS, more like Fates Warning to me.

Uh....No!

This is for Stool Man. I don't  think Sabbath ever made any concepts, incorporated keyboard sounds that harken back to other Prog bands, just sayin!Ermm

As much as I love Sabbath they never reached the level of musicianship of Rush

Since their first album was recorded just after the release of KC's debut, there weren't any other prog bands for them to harken back to.  Just sayin! Wink
 
And who said anything about reaching this-or-that level of musicianship?  Sabbath had made all of their best albums before Rush made any albums at all, they weren't aiming to outdo them or anyone else.

But Sabbath was hardly Prog, I agree that they have elements but that doesn't make them Prog. Sabbath were fathers of Metal. Prog, I'm not  so sure about that. Tell me who do Progressive Metal bands look to as an influence(Symphony X, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden(debatable), Meshuggah, Mastodon). The influence is undeniable, come on! Wink

from PA's front page, a moment ago:
  • POPULAR ARTISTS (TOP 50, LAST 24H) :
  • Deep Purple
  • Black Sabbath
  • Yes
  • Black Sabbath's page is currently the 2nd most viewed on this website in the last 24 hours.  Not Prog?

    ^They have a new album coming out, that's hardly a surprise.

    Black Sabbath have an undeniable influence on all metal pretty much, Rush have a very strong influence over vanilla prog metal but little over bands in Exp/Post and Tech/Extreme.
    Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

    Sabbath & Zepplin & Purple was the fathers of Heavy/Metal, King Crimson (and to some degree Yes) was the father(s) of Heavy-Prog.
    They had a child (in a strange 4 way marriage) called Prog Metal
     
    Ruch was the unknown cusin of Sabbath/Zep/Purple, he later grew up to become a bigger (hard) rock band, and made  some very important heavy prog albums, before the 80's dead arrow got him, but thats another story.

    One could also consider Queen with their 2 first albums.

    Sabbath, fathers of Heavy Metal I could more or less agree, but of Prog-Metal, no.

    High Tide's Sea Shanties anyone? Pretty close methinks, but when we are talking about fathering a style of music, I believe it has to be a band that put out a series of albums, almost like a sonic blueprint of what was to come, and Black Sabbath did just that - and more.

    Other. Ironing Maiden.
     
    None of the other suggestions thus far are Metal.
     
     
    However, wait for someone to suggest: Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, Atomic Rooster, Grand Funk Railroad, The Kinks, King Crimson, Budgie, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Uriah Heep... Sleepy

    Your post just made me realise, that my brain interpreted prog metal as heavy metal......(I got up at 6 this morning, so that may have something to do with it)

    I tend to agree with Dean about Maiden. A lot of what they brought to the table is still being used - vigorously!

    Budgie: Stern Smile Metal but not "Proggy" enough

    Scorpions:Stern Smile

    Judas Priest: Good one there but Caress of Steel and Fly by Night came out before Sad Wings Wink

    Actually, I could buy the Uriah Heep option, but not as much as Deep Purple or, let's say, Vanilla Fudge and Iron Butterfly.

    To be a more serious tone, I would also consider the possible influence of some thrash-metal bands on the prog-metal genre (of course, Metallica and Megadeth rather than Slayer or Anthrax).

    Indeed, in regard of musicianship, the Sabs were waaaaay above Rush.

    At least, the Brummies had good songs... (Yu mad?)
