Someone started a thread like this in one of the other forums in which I post. It doesn't have to be all prog though mine basically works out to be all prog bands...almost. 1. Dream Theater 2. Pink Floyd 3. Rush 4. Marillion 5. Anathema 6. Steven Wilson projects 7. Neal Morse projects 8. Yes 9. The Flower Kings 10. Epica I guess it's all prog. Epica's latest album has prog metal written all over it. -------------

There are some bands I love that released just a bunch of records (like National Health and Hatfield and the North) so I can't put them in my list because of that. In no particular order: YES Genesis Angra Megadeth Dream Theater Morbid Angel ELP Jethro Tull The Ramones (...and I hate punk!) L'arc en Ciel Honorable mentions: Caravan, VDGG, Iron Maiden, Camel, Rush, Hikaru Utada, Sex Machineguns, The Beatles, KC... ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Hard to pick just ten. It changes constantly. The first four are rather stable, though.

Yup...should've listed Faust as well....and Popol Vuh, Klaus Schulze, Magma, Caravan, COS, Crimson and the list goes on and on. Maybe these threads aren't for me either because I change my mind all the time or perhaps because I keep searching for new stuff? Nahh no rhyme or reason methinks. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Artist lists never seem to be properly representative of my actual listening tastes. So many of my favorite albums are by groups I otherwise have little interest in. There aren't many acts from whom I've heard a multitude of albums, much less good albums. Even most of these are here primarily for 2 or 3 noteworthy albums. 1. Van Der Graaf Generator 2. Don Cherry 3. Earth 4. Tangerine Dream 5. Einsturzende Neubauten 6. Sun Ra 7. King Crimson 8. Gentle Giant 9. Nurse With Wound 10. The Pop Group If I could count Talk Talk and .O.rang as one group, that'd make the list. |

All their albums are recorded live and totally free-form. The purple one from August 74 (if memory serves me right?) as well as the one from 72 (which I reviewed or at least tried to review) are both stellar, but to be honest with you, I don't think you can wrong in their discography. That also means that it's a hard nut to crack if you don't 'get' or indeed dig the first album you try out; chances are you'll feel the same about the rest of their output. Though after having seen your posts on here methinks you'll find lots to love in their output. Pick anyone of their albums you can find and expect the universe to zoom into your brain like an inside-out black hole. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Thanks to everyone who has posted so far. Not only does this help me get to know some of you but it makes for good recommendations.  I like that mostly non-prog metal has been mentioned. I know pretty much all there is to know about prog metal and the bands under that umbrella, but as far as the other sub-genres of prog rock there is a wealth of music I've yet to explore. With my job there can sometimes be a lot of downtime, so besides read I also like to discover new music. -------------

Being a 14 year old boy I listen to lots of different kinds of music, and around September 2016 a friend of mine introduced me to prog. Here's my top 15 in no order: Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree (probably my favorite) Pink Floyd (my dad introduced me to them a while back but I had no idea what prog was at the time) Genesis VdGG PFM Harmonium (my dad is French Canadian, so Harmonium was a huge part of his childhood and he passed his love of them on to me) Magma Phideaux The Flower Kings Frank Zappa Hawkwind Rush (good old Canadian boys!) Supertramp (not really prog but still great) Caravan Mike Oldfield |

These are my all time favourite bands in chronological order in regards to when they formed: The Beatles The Kinks Jethro Tull King Crimson Wishbone Ash Focus Gentle Giant Horslips Japan The Cure Skids Simple Minds Magazine Echo and the Bunnymen Big Country The Armoury Show Living Colour Radiohead Gorky's Zygotic Mynci Mogwai Arctic Monkeys I took a few liberties.....21 instead of 10! Presently, I am really getting into the Welsh band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. Might have to suggest they get included into either Prog folk or Eclectic Prog. They are (were) amazing...pop tendencies with lots of Prog interspersed IMHO. Their 1997 album Barafundle is brilliant. Anyone share my love of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci? |

Tull definitely number 1. So many good extra stuff that missed albums. You can tell they we're trying to sound pop on the warchild and too old soundtracks. Would have been much better if they used their other tracks on those ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

It's funny how the core of my list hasn't changed much. I even had REM just now but removed them. They would still be a bubbling under band for me though. Yes, I know I might be the only one on this forum who likes them. I also like the Smiths and the Cure but don't know them well enough to put them on a list. I forgot Kansas this time around too. I also am a big fan of Black Sabbath but didn't squeeze them in this time or even last time for that matter. I guess the bottom line is I still have a lot of music to explore. Don't we all?

To qualify as a "favourite artist", an artist needs to have released at least three albums that I have and like. This excludes a lot of excellent artists that for one reasone or another I only have one or two of their albums. After creating a list of qualifying artists, choosing ten from the list proved difficult. The ten I chose from the many I didn't choose was based more on recent preferences. My favourite artist is: 01. Van der Graaf Generator / Peter Hammill The remainder of the list is in no particular order: 02. Yes ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

| ^ Good list, your top three are my top three. Several others would also make my list. |

| Impossible. Just impossible. I could select 10 favourites from each sub-genre alone. And then some. This question is not so easily answered, especially by me. |

10. Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree 9. Kate Bush 8. Trans-Siberian Orchestra 7. 311 (not exactly prog but they're childhood faves of mine) 6. Frost* 5. Ayreon 4. Rush 3. Neal Morse/Transatlantic/Spock's Beard (Morse Era) 2. Yes 1. Dream Theater This is just a rough, "off-the-top-of-my-head" ranking, the order here is definitely subject to change. Certain bands almost made it, such as The Flower Kings, Symphony X, Satellite, Syzygy, and several others (it's really hard to narrow it down to just 10).

I have a special interest in Scandinavian prog and Finnish prog is something I am always on the lookout for. Uzva is for me the best progband from Finland ever, followed by Pekka Pohjola, Piirpauke, WigWam and Tasavallan Presidentii. Other great bands include Taipuva Luotisuora, Hidria Spacefolk and Jeavestone. But there is so much more, I can't think of out of the blue (without googlesearching). But why would you say other bands are better than Uzva, when I list it as a favorite band? It comes over as rude and condescending. I hope you mean better than that. Have a wonderful day. |
