I used to like Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, etc, but there's a time to move on and let go.
[/QUOTE]
 
Time to raze the seven wonders of the world, as its time to move on.
Time to burn all those old books, as its time to blog on.
Time to dump the dinosaurs, as the androids move in. LOL Happened a long time ago , Lar !
 
There is no such thing as moving on with art, whether music, painting, architecture or litterature.
ITS TIMELESS.
Today not many people like history all that much which is why we are condemned to CONSTANTLY repeat the same tired mistakes. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I didn't realise how many people liked ****, boring and simple rock.

these are the forums of "ProgArchives.com Your Ultimate Prog Rock Resource"

what do you expect everyone to be listening to?  70s were the era that prog rock was most popular in so thats what you are going to see the most here whether you like it or not.  personally, I only had one 70s band in my top 10 so I'm not speaking out of bias.

also who are you to say that the bands that were listed arent "good".  yeah, King Crimson, they suck.  same with Pink Floyd and Yes.  absolutely horrible bands. (sarcasm)

and SIMPLE rock?  no, most of it isnt simple and thats why its called "progressive".

Top five in order, after that chaos:
 
1. King Crimson
2. Gentle Giant
3. Frank Zappa
4. Van Der Graaf Generator
5. Jethro Tull
- Secret Chiefs 3
- Henry Cow
- Godspeed You! Black Emporer
- Genesis
- Univers Zero
 
Last three are subject for switching as there are many bands that can fit.
