That one sucks. I like the one where they just play one jazz note after another while a cellist just plays the same seven note phrase for twenty five minutes.

Ooops...I Did It Again by the phenomenal Britney Spears.

But to answer your question, there are many ways to be progressive. Some will say Magma because Vander invented a language, some will say Tales from topographiv oceans because it has long songs, some will say Close to the edge because it is the quintessential prog epic, some will say ELP because they mixed classical with rock, some will say King Crimson, because they are the most experimental, some will say Gentle Giant because they are totally unique in concept and in music, some will say Dream Theater sucks because they are tired of endless Petrucci polls, some will say Arctic Monkeys because they haven't got a clue what they're talking about, and some will say "hello, look at me, i am a lamppost!" because they've taken too many of the doctor's pills, but I will say the Velvet Underground, because if not, no one will.

Hear hear.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf: taller than a tree.

Toki Wartooth: not a bumblebee.

Just to name a short one which symbolizes well the genre for me, even if it's short: "Knots" by Gentle Giant...

Its hard to choose what is more progressive

I know what you mean, cacho, i asked the same thing when i joined this site, but there's no such thing as "most progressive", however if you want some seriously tough to digest music, try Unexpect. There are samples on the site.

Oh no, i lied, there aren't, but you can just to a search on youtube, there are lots of it there.

I dunno, some really crazy songs like the 2 epics of Amputechture (mars volta), or Beyond the Twilight's "For the art of Making Love" or however that incredibly over-pretentious album is called.

I think the thread should have ended here.
