Soft Machine 1 and 2 were better than third.

Genesis suck and Yes are overrated! Post Rock Music is on par with all the best 70's stuff! I do not understand Dream Theater at all. Hip Hop Music isn't that bad.

1) @ Relayer  Perhaps if I stare long enough it'll actually become good. 2) @ Andy Latimer I really don't mind the vocals that much. Not great, but tolerable. 3) @ Red It's still not as good as Islands, ITCOTCK or Larks Tongues In Aspic :p 4) @ Trespass Great album. I love it. 5) @ Roundabout I really do not like this song.

Tommy was NOT the first concept album - that title belongs to Days of Future Passed! Sgt. Pepper's isn't really that good - in fact I find most of it is mediocre; the White Album is tied for top spot with Abbey Road as the greatest Beatles albums .... and neither of them have ANY filler!  Oh yeah, and Brain Salad Surgery isn't pretentious, at all. (I guess that was neither constructive nor bashing  ... just "venting my progressive views" as the topic says!)

Grace Under Pressure is the best Rush album.
A Passion Play is WAY better than Thick as a Brick.
I could never get into Dream Theater because I think the singer's voice sounds silly.
Nursery Cryme has better songs than Foxtrot.
A lot of Neo-Prog is better than the Classic 70's Prog bands.
Does anybody REALLY like Syd era Floyd? Seriously?
....And this is how you make enemies, fast!

Pink Floyd without Waters sounds as good, and sometimes better, than with Waters.

Most outrageous thought? Occasionally that Prog is silly, pretentious, overachieving boys playing "my solo's longer than yours" ad nauseum and that a nice cup of tea and a sit down with some Katie Mehlua would be nice
...the horror, the horror.
actually i do sometimes think that about Prog. I must be getting old...

you are certainly right with your fourth statement. the invention of prog can definitely not be ascribed to a single band alone. that it was invented by King Crimson is one of the big myths of prog

There is a danger with this thread that it is simply used as an excuse to be abusive to bands, members, genres, etc.
Humour is fine, but the requirement remains for contributions to this thread to be constructive and civil.
I foresee the future of this thread as a move to "Just for fun", then closure.
Prove me wrong.  |

Ohh, that's not an outrageous prog view, that's just getting defensive! Where's the controversy?

Stop denying it people. Everyone knows the best Yes album is 90125.  as for my outrageous prog claims: I know what Jon Anderson's lyrics mean the 80's were the best decade for every 70's prog band
