Oh yeah, and Brain Salad Surgery isn't pretentious, at all. Stern%20Smile

(I guess that was neither constructive nor bashingTongue... just "venting my progressive views" as the topic says!)

I agree about the "White Album", but don't like "Abbey Road" very much

1) @ Relayer
Stern%20Smile 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.

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.

Soft Machine 1 and 2 were better than third.

no, but it is how you get people to laugh uncontrollably

..and King Crimson wasn't the first prog band, they simply released the first prog album with most of the components in place  ..and even that's debatable

On second thought, they aren't tied, yet Abbey Road is still second for me.

Heres my two cents...
 
Jethro Tull arent prog at all
Foxtrot is the worst of all the PG Genesis albums
Post Rock is the new prog rock
Post metal pwns all other forms of metal
I like Magma!!!!
Sigur ros, Porc tree, and Isis still havent made a masterpiece album
Avant garde rock is the most pointless form of music I have yet to hear.

Is it even possible to have outrageous and constructive views? Outrageous is kind of an antonym to civil anyway, plus civil outrage is a fraction as entertaining. And to add something to the thread...

Emerson, Lake & Palmer is the definition of the negative connotation of "pretentious". But they were still great guys! :)

outrageous... to you all perhaps.. not to me...

Genesis is the common cure for insomnia.. and doesn't belong on the same page as other groups here.

Side 2 of Tarkus is frickin great .. and those who think it is FILLER.. do more reading of others opinions than actual listening.

Pawn Hearts is the most disappointing prog album ever made... simply... it could have been one of the best prog albums ever.. and they fell flat ...

Rush peaked at Caress of Steel... and have gone downhill... for ....over 30 years LOL

I think Van der Graaf Generator is a rare example of the "amazing vocalist + boring music" kind of band. Maybe I should check out Peter's solo stuff...

I'd say the same of Genesis actually outside of the masterpiece that is  SEbtP.
