I don't think I heard a single "bad" album from Svetonio's recommendations.
We have to give a chance to new bands, the old ones already gained fame.
And yes, it's possible to play good music in the 2010's...

Click this link: "Progressive"  and fill your boots.
 
 
yes, i know. But Svetonio has a much wider range of music to recommend. It's not only "progressive rock", otherwise I wouldn't bother to check out the links in this thread.

Recommendation is the act of recommending; Recommending is present participle of Recommend; Recommend is a verb that means to praise, commend, represent favourably, endorse and propose. It implies a level of selection and judgement has been employed. If someone asked me to recommend a Tangerine Dream album to them it would be lazy of me to list every single album they produced and say "pick what fits your tastes". 

Peace. Out.

Here's one that got sneaked onto the site (in Crossover) via a post in the collab zone rather than here or in Suggest New Bands and Artists. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=8964.
 
 
Only 5 tracks and around 28 and a half minutes of music, but good stuff - and the band is to be featured on Andy Read's DPRP Prog Rock Radio Show when it returns from its summer break next week: http://www.dprp.net/wp/radio/.

To be honest, I really don't care about this. I am happy to be given the opportunity to discover new bands, and it's all that matters to me :-)

I don't have any contract nor nothing like that with Bandcamp.
I recommend the bands ONLY because I love to share the music I listen to.
How many of these do you listen to more than once?
How many of these do you listen to every track from?
How many of these do you actually like?
Is there a band or artist on Bandcamp that is tagged as "Progressive" or "Psychedelic" that you won't recommend?

We are now on page 103 of this thread. At 20 posts per page that's something approaching 2000 recommendations in total, over 90% of them from you. No one can seriously recommend >1800 bands, that is an impossible nonsense. It makes a complete mockery of any recommendation. This thread is now no better than browsing the "Progressive" tag on the Bandcamp website. What is the point? Seriously.

I do not doubt that all the artists you list are in dire need of the exposure, and most of them are extremely grateful for any mention away from the rarefied atmosphere of the Bandcamp website, but frankly, this is a piss-poor way of doing it.

Perhaps you should try recommending the bands you really like rather than all the ones you listen to, because doing it ONLY because you like to share is unhelpful to the artists and the few that read this thread. You know - give some genuine recommendations for a change.
