Welcome to progarchives

ive always thought that Van Der Graaf Generator is sort of emoish lyrically its certainly very sad

their cd: H to he, who am the only one is a personal favorite of mine

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

@Ty1020:
Lot of thanks to you too :)
I allready know a few songs of Sigur Rós...They're good, but they don't appael as much as GYBE ;)
And I'm gonna downloa...buy the other Bands as soon as I can *g*

Yeah, Sigur Ros is probably the least GYBE-esque band on the list. A Silver Mt. Zion is naturally a lot like GYBE since they came out of that band, but they're not one of my favourites and I think GYBE is a lot better. EITS is like GYBE but more guitar-based with less ambience, Mogwai is more focused and includes some electronic influences, and Do Make Say Think includes some jazz influences, most notably on their latest (and best) album, "Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn."

Sounds nice :)

I have nothing against electronic or jazz, so that wouldn't put me off^^

And still:
This board rules *gg*

If you're talking about me, then no, I didn't confuse the two, I just recommended some bands for the original poster based on what they actually asked for rather than just reading the thread title and posting about emo without realizing the real point of the thread

fugazi's style was still a big influence and one of the first branch offs of traditional punk, these are the roots of emo.

i refuse to call falloutboy kids emo, i call them hipsters or scenesters that listen to music for the social status. in 10 years music like falloutboy will be dead like 80s hair bands and there will be a new scenester genre and kids will throw out their fallouboy shirts and get with the new scene.

and that wasnt my sig, i just used "-"s to separate from the top post...

so anyone here like trance? i love infected mushroom and prog ozric tentacles :D

Rashikal,
About your sig....

FUGAZI IS NOT f**kING EMO!!!!!
they are DC punk/hardcore. they are political in nature and there is very little emotional about them.

all the bands you listed as NOT being emo, ARE in fact emo because they are part of the modern emo scene. I know that there was another earlier emo scene, but the scene that is alive (Sadly) today includes all of those bands you listed. Don't you see the kids at the mall with the hair in their faces and the fall out boy t shirts? emo kids. they are part of the emo social scene.

bah.

"emo" prog bands that i like:

Coheed & Cambria

Fall of Troy

3

--------------------

ok you heard it from me first, actual emo, the music genre, are emotional hardcore bands like Fugazi, Rites of Spring, At the Drive In, and early Bright Eyes

hawthorne heights is NOT emo
falloutboy is NOT emo
My chemical romance is NOT emo

rites of spring is emo.

someone above me confused post-hardcore with post-rock. two totally different things.

Sigur Ros is good

Many people say Coheed and Cambria sound like an emo band. and they are (debatably) progressive.

Definitely try Pain Of Salvation. Very emotional heavy prog

Four songs here: http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAN D.asp?band_id=284

Good band, but he's looking for post-rock, and PoS doesn't really fit the bill :P.

Not necesarily, the only prog band he knows is GYBE!... I don't think he even knows what post rock is

An emo kid should like PoS because of their emo-like depression, especially on Remedy Lane and Perfect element, sometimes it sounds like they even over did it a bit. Should be accessible enough, too.

Well, he said he wanted bands that sound like GYBE, so I think post rock is a safe bet there.

And read the first post again... the oringinal poster isn't an emo kid, his name is a joke
