If One Likes Neo Prog...

Since we have to have a label... and listens extensively to Airbag, Pendragon, Porcupine Tree, SW, Sylvan, Anathema, Frequency Drift, Gazpacho, Mileneum, (some) Marillion, IQ, and RPWL... suggestion for others in that vein? Groups that sound more Pink Floydish.

I’m not at all into Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, VDDG etc.

Thoughts?

I'm not into Neo-Prog as defined by the site, but I have been very into Pink Floyd (especially early Pink Floyd) so sorry if I concentrate more on the Pink FLoydish angle than the rest, which is admittedly not the greatest approach. It would be pretty simple for me to make modern spacey/pysch suggestion that have some Pink Floyd vibe such as Lamp of the Universe but I wouldn't think that's quite what you're after.

Maybe you'd like PAUW:



And VSTRS:



But then again, maybe not, and I'm totally the wrong one to make a recommendation.

I find it odd that you are not into Genesis, KC, ELP, and VDGG.....since the 'Neo-Prog' bands you named above have plenty of those other bands in their musical mix.

Micky you inbred: What do you win? You already had your sister and your grand mom, doesn’t that count as a prize in your twisted dipsh*t world?

As to the other excellent suggestions, I look forward to listening to them. I had meant to listen to Quiddam in the past and they fell off my radar. Satellite I thought I would love but other then A Street Between Sunrise and Sunset, they didn’t click. The other suggestions are made of bands unknown to me. I will be checking them out. I would particularly love to find a band like Airbag. They seem entirely unique.

Thanks to all suggestions folks. Much appreciated

As to the accurate comment about the bands I listened to have elements of Yes, Genesis et al. Undoubtedly that’s very true. I mean they are pioneers of the genre. It’s likely impossible to get away from them. That said having flashes of influence doesn’t bother me. I find that the bands I listed play with passion as opposed to playing with pure technical brilliance. I prefer a less complex song oozing with heartfelt emotion as opposed to a King Crimson technique of cold professionalism.

Though he cared to mention etc  (symphonic) !!!

Am I in the right place? Well, I hope so. Isn’t this the Barry Manilow Fanilow Forum?   All right, yeah, good point, I’m not a huge Yes fan either. Never cared much for Jon Anderson’s voice. But I am a huge Pink Floyd fan. Hence, I believe I’m in the right place albeit maybe a little different from most of the people here. But hell, y’all don’t want everyone the same, do you? I mean that would make for such interesting conversations. Person 1” Yes are veritable rock legends. They are close to divine.” Person 2: “I agree. I wear my 1978 Yes concert shirt daily under my suit.” Person 3 “Yes was iconoclastic, and years ahead of their time. Their music displayed extraordinary passages that rippled the fabric of the time/space continuum.” Person 4 “Jon Anderson is as cute as a button.” Me: “Yes sounds like aural sandpaper “.

Thanks for the myriad of suggestions thus far, amigos. Much appreciated and I’m still listening to them one by one.

And for those Yes fans who were offended by the above. Don’t be. Just be sure to see an audiologists sometime in your near future. Only kidding...
