If Radiohead are not prog, then neither are The Mars Volta.

Anyway I prefer the expression "Art rock" for both.

Hopefully everyone's gotten over the arguement of whether or not Radiohead/Queen/others are prog or not. I don't like it much but I really don't like debating things much anymore. It's futile.

Indeed..Queen are simply not prog so theres no need for a debate.

Radiohead, The Beatles, Queen, Supertramp, Death, Styx, Nightwish, Atheist... sorry coudlnt think of ten for the time being.

I don't even consider those bands borderline, they just plain arent prog.  To think that they are here and not some of the more truly prog-related stuff like Led Zeppelin and the Doors.

I agree. Does debating in a public forum become mass debating?

Beach Boys should probably be here under proto-prog, because the Beatles are there as well.

  1. Beach Boys / Brian Wilson
  2. Traffic
  3. Roxy Music
  4. Beatles
  5. Stevie Wonder
  6. Bjork
  7. Supertramp
  8. Massive Attack
  9. Buffalo Springfield
  10. Pet Shop Boys

Not all in the database here. Should that be so? But for me they're borderline. Even someone like Stevie Wonder, who comes from a soul background and made some albums in the seventies which are very close to prog, IMHO obviously.

These are all prog-related. Not sure how 'borderline'
they all are, but if you like prog some of them should
appeal:

The Doors
Sparks
10cc
Blue Oyster Cult
Wishbone Ash
Led Zeppelin
Locomotive
Rainbow
Toto
Steeleye Span

      Just one comment.  Queen is definitely not prog at least in their current incarnation.  I saw them in concert and except for a few great songs they were mostly mediocre arena rock.

The Beatles and Deep Purple are in proto-prog, not prog-related.

there is nothing to argue: you just put your list, that's all!

It always gets complicated.



especially when people start calling ELO a disco group.....

I would favour ELO as Art Rock myself
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I like the four last bands music, I just don't think of them as prog. And I'm sure there's plenty of prog metal that should be on this list, that I haven't heard. I really hate number one on my list. Regressive, commercial, gothrock with synths and strings. Same thing with number two. I'd much rather have Bauhaus or Swans here.

The first ELO album is one of the best prog debuts I've heard. Their three next outings also qualifies as prog.

Radiohead is the most important Progressive Rock band of the '00's imo.           &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;         &nbs p;
