 Topic: Favorite band you discovered here
Posted: September 28 2005 at 00:22 |
I'm sure this has been done, but it's more aimed at newer members and prog fans anyway:
What's your favorite band(s) that you never heard of before finding them on this site? My many grateful thanks to our hosts and contributors for sharing so much knowledge of great music. Mine?
Fates Warning
Porcupine Tree
A Silver Mt Zion
Ayreon
(no particular order)

Best one from this site specifically?
Wigwam (the Fairyport album specifically)
They got mentioned to me by a buddy who had lived in Finland for a
while so I did a search for them on the internet which led me here. I
read the review and it sounded cool, so I got it online and absolutely loved it.
Been coming back ever since!

Yeah, that's how I found this place - Google'd for Porcupine Tree after I heard a song on college radio. I'm guessing that's how a lot of people found the site.

Mine would have to be:
Jan Jukes De Grey - Mice And Rats In The Loft
Maxophone - Maxophone
I had never heard of these bands before stumbling onto this site, let alone heard any of their music. Two highly recommended albums from relatively obscure artists

I'll try to go for just one ... because otherwise there will be too many ... PFM (first three albums) ...
but really there are a whole host of other Italian bands (LDF, Banco, CDM, QVL, etc)
not to mention classic proggers Comus, Circus, Refugee, Marsupillami and Pollen
Should I have stuck with just one?

For me it's more a case of having heard of the band, but not having
heard anything by them until I found the mp3s on this site. The
main ones for me are Gentle Giant, The Mars Volta, Van der Graaf
Generator and Peter Hammill (actually I had heard VdGG before
discovering this site, but wasn't really impressed by them until I
heard some of the mp3s).

The Mars Volta and Tool of current bands. I'm also going to get myself
some Porcupine Tree. This site also reminded me of the existence of
Gentle Giant who I never really took time to listen to before. And I'm
quite interested in trying Jan Dukes De Grey. Oh and there are loads of
others I want to listen to but haven't yet.

The totally amazing Italian band Deus Ex Machina. They play a full-on,
angular style of prog and sing in Latin! Gotta love that.
