I like "Polygondwanaland" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, but it was really hard for me to hear the lyrics. It is definitely a good album though! |

Now I see why you're trying to narrow things down. Wish I could give you a whole bunch of free great music. Still, it is your individual path to take, and you'll take it however you can. Edited by Atavachron - March 22 2023 at 19:12 |

Yeah their mixes tend to be very lo-fi and 60's-ish, so the lyrics usually don't come across very clearly.

Also, do you know where I would make a post asking if a song I like is considered prog? It isn't anywhere in the prog archives but I have seen people calling it prog in other places.

^ Oh I think the 'Prog Music Lounge' with its general discussions would do well. Don't be too surprised if it devolves into a debate about what is and/or is not Prog. The horror... the horror. |

My favorite albums are no longer "Journey to the Centre of the Eye" or "In the Court of the Crimson King." The top two are now "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor and "Until All the Ghosts Are Gone" by Anekdoten. The close runner-ups are "The Sky Moves Sideways" by Porcupine Tree, the single "Sad Rain" by Anekdoten, and "Polygondwanaland" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Massive thanks to everyone who gave recommendations. And if anyone knows songs like these, don't be afraid to tell me them. |

+Love pretty much all of King Gizzard and Polygondwanaland is the perfect introduction to them. Ever heard Black Midi? Their latest Hellfire is my favorite album of last year by quite some distance. It's something else for sure and a unique experience and concept (and maybe not for everyone) - that I'm still not finished digesting. |

Since the OP is on a one album per month budget, Polygondwanaland might be a name your own price album on Bandcamp. It was a few months back.
I'll add a couple of suggestions to try. Doomsday Afternoon by Phideaux and East of Eden by Talk Talk. |

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a very good band, but it is post-rock not progressive rock. In post-rock, I recommend you these well-known bands: God Is An Astronaut, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Talk Talk, ... |

^This touches on the everlong debate of progressive vs prog. On this site, post/math is a subgenre, so we go with that. But, I think it's fair of some people to think of prog rock and post-rock as two different genres with similar qualities that can overlap.

Its not that I move fast, its that I have been listening to "In the court of the Crimson King" and "Journey to The Centre of the Eye" like they were an addictive drug for the past year because I didn't know there was other music like it and I have the time to listen to songs online (although I much prefer vinyl) to see if I like them for most of the day. I listened to F♯A♯∞ and really liked it. I will make sure to look at other albums by them! This is definitely going on my "Vinyl to get" list. I was aware of the concept of black midi, but I had never heard of the band. I tried to listen to that song, but it just hurt my ears. Maybe my ears are just sensitive today, it happens, but as of right now that song hurts my ears.
I listened to some of the songs in Doomsday Afternoon and liked them. I also listened to some of the songs in East of Eden by Talk Talk and liked them
Progressive rock, post-rock, krautrock; its all the same to me. As long as the music is good I couldn't care what genre its in! I listened to the most popular song by God Is An Astronaut (according to Spotify, the "most trustworthy" source), Frozen Twilight, and I liked it. I listened to the most popular song by Sigur Ros (also determined by Spotify), Hoppipolla, and I didn't like it. The vocals threw me off. Although this is subject to change on future listening.
I listened to the most popular song by Mogwai (once again determined by Spotify), Take Me Somewhere Nice, and liked it. I already listened to some Talk Talk and liked it, as recommended by mathman0806. |
