old school and new school i dont mind. what are "porcupine tree" like??  and "IQ"

the best thing you can do would be to play the MP3s on this site...that'll take you thru 2006!!

Porcupine Tree are a bit like Pink Floyd, kind of spacey...if you like that sort of thing, also check out Pineapple Thief.

IQ are neo-prog, so a bit like Marillion, in the Genesis tradition...but at the top of the tree in their particular field... if you like them, also check out Pendragon, Arena & Jadis.

hope this helps...

Hey man, you want new school or old school?

New school:* Magic Pie--Motions of Desire  * Porcupine Tree--In Absentia  * Riverside--Out of Myself  * Echolyn--As the World  * Carptree--Man Made Machine  * Arena--Contagion

 

Old school (actually new school, but with 70's texture): * Anglagard--Hybris   * Wobbler--Hinterland    * Anekdoten---Nucleus   * IQ--Dark Matter

To be honest half of the new prog bands on this site that come up i've never even heard of before and never really cared less, I never really held out much for prog these days, never thought it would be worthwhile. Then I decided to buy 'Agaetis Byrjun' and 'Frances the Mute'!! I was amazed at how brilliant they were!! and ultimately deserving of the title "Progressive". So I now have a keen interest in finding new prog groups.

Anyway, I'd love to hear a few recommendations! Whichever record comes up the most I promise i'll buy it!!  I see that The Flower Kings (If that's there name) come up a good bit on the site.

I'm well acquainted with a lot of the classic bands, so any new groups similar to the 70s greats would be cool too...
