I do not have the resources to send the people who make this wonderful sight the pics of album covers, bio, mp3's, etc.  Nor do I have the time.  Please some get this great band into the archives.

I do agree with all of you. Primus has released quasi-progressive efforts, i.e "Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda". I could see them being added. I would be willing to write the biography full-heartedly.

I dont think they are exactly prog (i just finished listening to pork soda as I type this) they have progressive elements, and I have grown to like them. Just hate the covers.

So you purchased the albums I suggested?  "The Intruder" is good!!! So is "Have A Cigar", it doesn't suck like Korn's cover they did.  You have sailing The Seas Of Cheese? GOOD STUFF  Get the DVD.  I said get it.

I think Primus are a great band, Les Claypool is a superb muso but................... the band aint prog.

You know.......... Les Claypool once auditioned for Metallica, they refused him as he would have shown up the guitarists lol.

Don't eat the yellow snow!!!!!

On a similar note, have you heard any of Blind Illusion's songs? Not as good as it should be.

Could you imagine Metallica mixed with Claypool bass?

I got it really cheap... here in the states it's about $10, I don't know how much that would be in Canada.

I can see a certain amount of "progginess" in their music. If they were added, I don't know what sub-genre they would go under. They might have to create a new one--psycho-funk-prog or something. I loved this band back in the 90's, and I saw them open for Rush a couple times. They were a fantastic live band!

I'm probably in the minority here, but I thought Tales From The Punchbowl was far and away their best album, cover to cover.

I have to disagree. It might sound repetitive just as Yes or Genesis would be repetitive for someone that has not given the time to fully understand it, that in the end does not get it.

Primus might not be straight prog band. of course, Primus most notable caracteristic would be their "out of the way" style. However, in escense this band is really close to what progressive rock is. Begining with the direct influences, they have at first place King Crimson. Albums like Dicipline are the bases of Primus music and style. Rush, as well is one of the most important influences. Primus since the begining, played live rush's songs like YYZ among others. In the other hand, they have really weird melody lines and really complex timing lines, one of the, lets say, ways you can identify prog rock. Songs like "eleven", having a 11/8 time signature, something that I've never seen in any band before;  "year of the parrot", with a 7/4 switching to straight 4/4 continiously; and "here come the bastards" in 5/4 among others, show clearely Primus rythmic complexity. For these reasons, i think Primus deserves a place in this website.

Primussucks !!!
