I would say there is no one band that has never disappointed me--but Gentle Giant comes pretty close to doing so.

Missed this the 1st time through. Those not familiar with this band are advised to check them out. A lot of different styles of music written and played exceptionally well.

Tall order - bands that can do no wrong. Fun reading through the various tastes here. Several bands such as Yes, Tull, Floyd, Genesis, Zappa only had eras where I thought they could do no wrong. Transatlantic comes close. The Dixie Dregs is one. No disappointments. Even the vocal experiments on Industry Standard have some Morse brilliance in them. Wish they put out some more stuff. Maybe with Jordan Rudess on keys now that T is gone.

No Prog bands I can think of, as even the ones that I am I die hard fan off have generally done at least one crap track. So I'm going to have to say The Beatles. I would include Classical composers like Bach or Elgar, but since we're talking bands, then I'll leave them & just go for the popular music canon.

If it wasn't for AMLOR & TFC I may agree with you.

For me Peter Hammill / Van der Graaf Generator can do no wrong. Ever.

Well for me, Gentle Giant..
I consider Gentle Giant as one of the most original bands ever with a very distinctive sound. The musicianship is great and a lot of variety of instrumentation, each album mantains that characteristic sound result of a fusion of musical styles and different types of instruments. I consider their work as essential.
Gentle Giant never lets me down |

Jean-Luc Ponty, Neuschwanstein, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Return To Forever, maybe Steely Dan. That's really it. No bad albums. I guess I can add 10cc.

Tool possibly is one of the only bands that I enjoy all music from (they don't have the biggest discography though ). |
Odd, I'm in love with the DB and I'm not sure if I could call Tool prog at heart, but I agree that out of every direction they've taken, they've never taken a blatantly wrong step.

I would say Pink Floyd, but I don't like Ummagumma at all (except for Grandchester Meadows).
For now, I would say King Crimson. I love everything they made (even 80s stuff - Discipline, Beat, TOAPP).
VdGG is coming close, but I haven't heard much of them, so it will have to wait.
Also, my apparent dislike for 80s and forward Rush doesn't stop me from saying that they haven't done a bad album. Some are not really excellent, but nothing disappointing.

I might have agreed on Hackett -- he has the some high highs and his lows aren't too bad.....usually. Unfortunately he had to go and make "Genesis Revisited", which was absolute crap. Sorry Steve.

Steve Hackett hands down, done no wrong. I like everything he does including the blues and the classical stuff. I even find his more commercial album, Cured, a worthwhile listen. He's been on a real streak of greatness over the last fifteen years, churning out one good thing after another.

Pink Floyd is one of my all-time favorites, but considering how inconsistent their early work is, I am surprised to see them listed so much in this thread.
My picks:
Rush (even their least best albums are still good) Porcupine Tree Radiohead The Flower Kings

I'd say Mastodon fits the bill quite nicely, not a bad album yet (maybe Remission slightly weaker than the others, but still not bad).
Tool can do no wrong either in my ears. Contrary to popular opinion here, Lateralus is my least favourite album of theirs but it's a good album nonetheless. |
Oh, F-yeah! I forgot. Mastodon is freakin' awesome. Leviathan through their latest is AWESOME!
