SPINAL TAP!

Who thinks spinal tap is prog, after all they are influenced by classical musicans and compositions and write "epics" about stonehenge and such. haha

nigel, the king of all prog. This man was the sh*t. he revolutionized the dynamics in rock music. damn straight... spinal tap was the loudest band ever

Ah... yes

totally, with his custom marshall amp he was the only guitar player to ever reach the level of "eleven" giving him the edge over all guitarists of the time, and allowing him to plunge off the cliff of tasteful dynamics.  He also innovated guitar playing as we know it now with this "trademark solos." Jimmy Page andJónsi Birgisson of Sigur Ros can't hold a candle to Nigel Tufnel when it comes to playing with a violin bow because he was too hardcore for the bow and he just used the whole violin, while kicking another guitar to accompany his kick ass solo.  if Nigel Tufnel isn't prog as well as spinal tap, I don't know what is.  Their advancements from "gimme some money" to "flower people" all the way up to their experimental rock at the "puppet show with spinal tap" is a testament to how prog they are.  Who else would be able to actually integrate Mozart and Bach into one as Mach and create such a beautiful piano piece as "lick my love pump"

Total prog.

Meshuggah dream of being Spinal Tap.

 

/ducks and runs...

Let us not forget Intre(sp?)-Venus de Milo.

Unfortunately we can't add, as our rating system only goes to 5. We would at least have to introduce an additional half-star for Spinal Tap.

We'd have to give them 6 stars so they could get that push over the cliff.

 

   I think they had their prog moments but to classify their vast catalogue as prog would be misleading. Their main prog effort released in 1975 ( no doubt inspred by Yes' "Tales" and Genesis' "The Lamb" was the concept album ( double?) The Sun never sweats ( which seems awfully close to Nous Sommes Du Soleil) .The Sun never sweats bombed badly and the band were less adventurous after that. I've never been able to get a copy of the Sun never sweats so maybe someone who has could let me know if it was indeed a double album

 

 I see their inclusion as being as controversial as Queen's

They even have a "Queen-like" song....Big Bottoms,sort of like Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls"
