So, if Prog was a religion, how would it's God be called, either a musician, a band's name or an invented name, just what comes to your mind, let the Prog God induce his name in your words!!! You can add anything that mixes religion with Prog, like the commandments and stuff =P

I don't know, but Vander would definitely be the High Priest of the cult

For me, the god couldn't be a person. So it would be a band, or bands (maybe even albums). It would be nice, if there wasn't names or at least not proper nouns. And it should look great, or be invisible. Maybe it is some future band. Or was the point here only that we list some god artists? :P Of course Magma and Univers Zero came to my mind. If it should be a person, maybe Frank Zappa comes to my mind first. But I don't like persons. Actually I hate Frank Zappa because the artist's name is a name. But anyway, I'd choose some obscure, scary and monumental album (of course not CD or LP - it just would be a monument). Like Pataphonie - Le Matin Blanc, or s/t, at least if they were better albums. Shub-Niggurath.. many black metal albums... lol. Maybe mysteries are overrated and there's no perfect albums or bands. So if it wasn't better than other bands, it should have some other powers. Like making people fall asleep or kill themselves or reach a clear state of mind. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/proper_noun - -------------

Musically it would be Neal Morse.
But as a God like character it would be Zappa. He sounds like God.

Since the existence of God is often discussed, I think that the God of Prog-Religion should be another character whose presence or absence would be hardly discussed. Hmmm... Syd Barret? |

Now this is something I didn't expected... I like Phill Collins music more than his Genesis albums (the Collins era) but I didn't know you too Teo... is just that anyone on this site makes fun of him in, well, all the threads possible... I think you were one of them... ------------- |

Just saw this topic being looked at in Active Users, and since this immediately came to mind (well right after Fripp if it was one person): ELP as the Holy Trinity of Progressive Rock acts. Basically Love Beach is Heaven...  Or Hell depending on one's perspective.

No,no,no...Love Beach, as all good ELP fans know, is pure HELL ! It's the Dark Lord's way, present a pretty package on the outside, then damn them all ! 'Climb on my rocket and we'll fly' indeed. I had to laugh when I saw this pop up and realized it's a thread from 11 years ago. Way to bring it back Logan.

^ I can't be the only one who pictures that album cover as what it will be like after you enter the Gates of Paradise and are welcomed by the Holy Trinity of Prog. If God is Love, and the afterlife's a beach, then heaven is Love Beach.* In Heaven, perhaps tight pants are required as they decrease fertility because it's getting overcrowded with chubby baby angels. Pygar (to Barbarella): "An angel doesn't make love, an angel is love." And thanks, JD. I have incurred the wrath when reviving very old topics before, hopefully this doesn't lead to me falling even further from grace. * terrible album, though. Kind of like heaven and hell all rolled into one.
