Sorry for my belated reaction all, but some of posts with meaningless pics have been hidden.

Also, say what you want about the legitimacy of it, but Green Day's Jesus Of Suburbia meets the bare minimum to be considered prog rock imo.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Muse was what I was gonna say. Yes the hits are generally the less prog stuff, but then there is Knights Of Cydonia.

Nirvana had lots of hits, but they weren't prog.

Don't hear Saga as much or Parsons, the others are common.

I don't listen to it often, but we do have a Classic Rock station here that I have my car radio tuned to. It will turn on when I am switching CDs or if I don't have a CD in and they generally play decent music. I've heard Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush, Queen, Asia, and Yes amongst others, but also they now play the classic grunge of Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden too.

It's interesting. I remember hearing "heat of the moment" and other songs from the first Asia album(as well as their second but mostly "don't cry") as well as tracks by Saga, The Alan Parsons Project and stuff from 90125. I don't hear any of that stuffd on the radio anymore (not even "owner" believe it or not or if I do it's quite rare). I would say about at least 70 percent of the people who know about this stuff these days or listen to it are prog fans. The one exception might be 80's Genesis which I still hear on the classic rock station quite a bit and a few songs by Rush.

Almost every song of Rush~Grace Under Pressure has been on the FM radio.....Add Subdivisions and New World Man from Signals.
Lets see Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Saga, Alan Parsons Project, Yes, Asia.....all had hits that were played on the FM radio, many still are.

What we need is not individual genres for every album, but for every song.

Boboulo: The occasional use of images are alright, like with posting videos generally, but don't make it a habit in most peoples threads or in many of your posts. Also it is often better just to edit one post and add to it as other albums come to mind (make a typed list). Lots of posts with pics doesn't really add anything much of value to discussion and can get in the way of in-depth conversation. Also, for some it makes page load difficult and some have limited data. It comes across as very spammy. Also double-posting and triple-posting is commonly frowned upon at internet forums. People have mentioned this, but you don't seem to care. Be sparing or action will be required.

Radiohead - a lot of their songs have had enormous impact and air time. David Bowie - Lazarus, Blackstar Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill, Cloudbusting, Hounds of Love Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It, I Believe in You Björk - Jóga, Hyper-Ballad, probably half a dozen more. Nine Inch Nails - Hurt It's easy to see that most post-1979 prog-related hits are all sophisticated pop songs. You can potentially expand this list by quite a lot by being more inclusive to psychedelia-influenced indie bands like The Flaming Lips and countless others. You could possibly expand even more with adventurous alternative R&B of the past 5 or so years? There's some psych influence there. |

Babooshka was a hit (number 5 in the UK) and she's had others since then - Rubber Band Girl, King of the Mountain and Wild Man Am I allowed to mention them without posting massive pictures of their covers?

There was a minor prog revival in the 90's. Other than Dream Theater I don't believe there were any real bonafide prog hits in that decade though.

I stoped listening to radio (music on radio I mean) a long, long time ago, so all this is news to me. I'm glad some prog hit the airwaves, but it does not matter to me. All I care about is listening to what I like, regardless if it's a hit or not.

There was prog revival in the 90s, but it just did not get to mainstream. For instance, Marillion, Pendragon, IQ and some other neoprog acts matured beautifully, progressive metal boomed, Porcupine Tree started, also Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, Ayreon, to name the few. I think it was a matter of choice of major labels to pursue other genres, more accessible, like rap, latin stars, more accessible rock stars like Maiden or Metallica, nu metal. I can imagine Transatlantic's "We All Need Some Light" or Dream Theater's "Through Her Eyes" getting more radio space and being hummed by people on the streets like Adele or Ed Sheeran or Lana Del Rey. They are equally great, catchy tunes. But lacked promotion. It also has its better side: artistic freedom. If Transatlantic wanted to put 30 minutes long song on an album, they just did it. And there was no major producer asking: how to promote it. And somehow good prog found its audience, thanks to the sites like ProgArchives. There were acts, whose tickets were not so easy to obtain. And so what, if Neal Morse or Andy Tillison are not putting absurd demands in their riders, not buying islands or jet planes? Good prog does not need such things.

The only song by them I ever heard on the radio was "blackest eyes" from In Absentia right when it first came out and only one time. I remember the dj saying that this band started out as a joke between two guys. Yeah, something like that.

I remember hearing Porcupine Tree's Piano Lessons on the radio once, but it didn't chart in the U.S. I think they have several songs that charted in the U.K., but not in the top 40.
