 Topic: Most revolutionary bands?
Posted: November 27 2005 at 17:35 |
Ha i was right!
just kidding lol.
But in terms of prog bands its deffinatly King Crimson.
Even thoguh not many bands emulate them or sound like them, they were the first to delve into ture prog and their ideas were used by all prog bands, even if it was indirect.

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

oddly enough i'd have Gong up there. Though they never hit major commercial success, you just need to listen to flying teapots to realise that they were way ahead of their time. Also, some of the most popular modern proggers aka Ozric tenticles and porcupine tree seem to have Gong as their prime influnce. great as Yes and Crimson were, no one has sounded like them since so you've gotta question how influencial they were.

I don't think so! There were lot of bands who made music like King Crimson and I think they were the precursors for the math-prog and their insane style of music definitly influenced many prog bands!

The Che Geuvara combo were definitely the most revolutionary band.

My favorite band has, for years, been Genesis. But I think that Yes was more revolutionary. Once Yes's unique space-jazz-rock sound came upon the public (this includes when they were beginning with cover songs in '69) it seems that the doors were open for more progressive-minded bands to be accepted.
King Crimson...different but not revolutionary. Nobody else wanted to follow their example.

I know many guitar players who have been inspired by Fripp's style and
also use his tuning. King Crimson has given music a lot of...something.

Oh and Led Zeppelin...they are not exactly prog so I wouldn't hope to find them on this website (unless they were somewhere in like Prog-related or something on those lines), but they were very revolutionary.

King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Stevie Wonder were all very influential artists in my mind...though I'm not so sure if I'd call them revolutionary...Pink Floyd just has too many "ok" aalbums, the same goes for King Crimson (although their good stuff never fails to be extremely good). Stevie Wonder is the same way...he has really great "fucnky" songs, and not so great "R&B-ish" songs...I much prefer his upbeat style (if you happen to be a fan for some reason, check out his new album...it's not as dissapointing as I thought it would be!)
