^ Peart is a great drummer.. personally I like to call him the walking drum-solo. Thing is prog is filled also filled with great drummers... Known and not so known that are as good.. or probably better. He got on MTV... so the kiddies worship him hahah. Now if ELP had... we'd have percussion and drum retail stores across the nation called Toccata rather than 2112  Case in point... Peart never did anything that approached what Palmer did with Toccata.

hmmm... how to say this.... your loss... what's good about them? I love their music, their lyrics...their approach to making music... what more do you want.

This reminds me of a TV program I once watched which was a feature
about the French violinist Didier Lockwood. When he was asked about his
time in Magma they showed a clip of them, and he commentated about
drummer Christian Vander: "He is soloing all the time". Also there was a post by Vibrationbaby in another thread, in which he said the same about drummer Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru. And I would say the same about the late Pierre Moerlen. Oh, and I totally agree with Vander and Neumeier too. That's why they are my personal top 3 of drummers in prog.

yeah.... got a bit carried away there. I should have my Moonie-for-life membership taken away for daring suggest that any of those other drummers could... or did imitate Moon. He was unique if anything hahha.

Whlie I do like Moon...and think he was a good......maybe great drummer? Probably great. I always found his style a biot haphazard and messy. Do you know what I mean at all otr am I barking in the wind.

that is the beauty of it.... from G.S's page... Finally, the drummer was Keith Moon, a figure as legendary in its
own rights as JFK or Martin Luther King and therefore not really worth
writing a lot about. The only issue I'd like to address is that some people
seem to seriously believe that the only thing Keith Moon could ever do
was bash, thrash, and crash. Well, that's true. And John Coltrane could
only blow. And Hemingway could only write. The art of bashing
and thrashing can be as much an art as anything else - and the bashing
and thrashing of Keith Moon had a clever and unique bashing and crashing
technique all its own. In fact, I'd like to see some of his bashing and
thrashing converted to guitar music one day, just to let the dissenters
see what he really was trying to achieve with his style.

Keith Moon? WHO is this guy?
Amazing, but pushed too hard on his personal choices and therefore payed the consecuences. As many other musicians.

Peart had the savior-faire and timing on his side. Not to mention songs that are easily accessible by many. He is no Gavin Harrison, but he is no slouch either. His style of playing is infectious to the young listener. It grabbed me as a teenager and made me want to pick up the sticks.

I just only would like to know a thing. Why some works from Santana (even I only have his first one, and a Greatest Hits and Abraxas I have listened 70´s Lps too...) are named in this page as Prog Albums??? |
Check out Caravanserai, and you´ll find the answer. |
Even "Abraxas" is a full-fledged prog album in my opinion.
|
I had already listened to both albums, but Santana never seemed to me like a Prog Band, but a Latin Rock one that made big jams, but is my very personal opinion.
Allman Brother band might be considereed as a Prog Rock band in the same way, if we choose these parameters. And so many others too...
I don´t think Santana, even on those albums, may be called a Prog band.

I think early Santana was way groundbreaking , thus progressive. But never "prog"

Frank Zappa, I like the album One size fits all and some of The grand wazoo, but besides that I just don't get most of his stuff, and his awfull singing doesn't help at all.
Also, Gentle Giant, I tried with several of their albums but I can't get into them, especially their sung melodies, they doesn't flow at all jumping from one note to another without any melodic sense.

Man lots of GG mentions here. But then again that's as it should be. Any band that original is bound to make waves.
