Primus, Tool, Muse and Radiohead are alreaday in crossover prog (except Tool is in Prog-Metal), and I think Deerhoof might be a good addition.




HAH... since when is Primus in Xover....

Raff and I moved them out of AR a ways back......with extreme prejudice....

isn't Tool... PM

Radiohead is Xover

and Muse . are PR... for now.. but thinking about  them for Xover.


Ah, thanks for the corrections.  I didn't feel like looking them all up, but my main point was that some of them are already here, and they already have genres that they fit into respectively.


And as far as Soundgarden, Superunknown was one of the first CDs I ever bought when I was a wee lad.  I still love that album.  I used to think '4th of July' was the heaviest song ever created!


I too loved that album.  Then in college someone stole my copy!  Cry

I read an issue once in a guitar magazine about Punk-Prog bands (cant remember any of the names at the moment, but I remember one that took big influence from KC).  I dont really know what other point my post has besides saying that....

i've always felt that grudge was a term regarding a certain philosophy.. in that case, generation X of Seattle in the early '90s.. you might say that bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were/are grudge but Alice In Chains and Soundgarden just happened to be nearby.. in a ny other way, they were pure heavy rock.. just like Zeps and Sabs taught it...

anywho, i agree with the term prog alt, otherwise bands like Muse just don't fit in here...

I guess the recent moving of this thread into the non-prog section reflects somebody's opinion that Progressive Alternative doesn't have anything to do with Progressive music.

That's odd, considering at least some of the bands mentioned are already in the Archives. Confused
 
to clarify what I was saying before, I think that there is alternative rock that is influenced by progressive rock, and in fact is itself progressive rock with alt-rock style... but there really isn't a genre you could call prog-alternative.
 
Another PA band that would fit this description is dredg.

Oh, by the way, it's "Badmotorfinger" and not "Superunknown" that's on the list.

IMHO, although Badmotorfinger a heavy album album with some monster riffs and standout tracks like "Slaves and Bulldozers" and "Rusty Cage", Superunknown would have been the better choice because it is a more interesting and experimental album.

¿Isn't that redundant?

I agree with this whole "Progressive Alternative" thing, it undeniably exists. But I dislike the name. A lot. I prefer ProgJester's suggestion: Modern Prog (I've also seen the term Prog Moderne used elsewhere).
