Topic: True prog classics from 2005 and up Posted: May 27 2012 at 18:55
The "no metal" rule does limit things quite a bit. Like it or not, the most "staying power" of prog today does quite possibly lie in that sub-genre.

Just heard The Goat Rodeo Sessions . Progressive Classical Bluegrass. Superb.

Anything by Riverside (they are so consistently excellent) also Discipline's "To Shatter All Accord" (maybe also "Grace For Drowning" by Steven Wilson)

I second that Glass Hammer choice. I had a listen to the whole thing for the first time in ages the other day and was really impressed. The first disc is perfect symp prog but not too retro while the second disc is quite unique evoking all sorts of moods and drawing on medieval/folk musical influences. I suspect that it is GH's masterpiece.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Octahedron is a very iffy one and I've yet to listen to any of the other ones and I've heard mixed reviews. Which should I listen to next? Also is their new album really that good?
