 Topic: Your Top 10 BandsPosted: May 06 2017 at 23:21 |
|
Someone started a thread like this in one of the other forums in which I post. It doesn't have to be all prog though mine basically works out to be all prog bands...almost.
1. Dream Theater 2. Pink Floyd 3. Rush 4. Marillion 5. Anathema 6. Steven Wilson projects 7. Neal Morse projects 8. Yes 9. The Flower Kings 10. Epica I guess it's all prog. Epica's latest album has prog metal written all over it. |

There are some bands I love that released just a bunch of records (like National Health and Hatfield and the North) so I can't put them in my list because of that.
In no particular order: YES Genesis Angra Megadeth Dream Theater Morbid Angel ELP Jethro Tull The Ramones (...and I hate punk!) L'arc en Ciel Honorable mentions: Caravan, VDGG, Iron Maiden, Camel, Rush, Hikaru Utada, Sex Machineguns, The Beatles, KC... |

Hard to pick just ten. It changes constantly. The first four are rather stable, though. Here they are as for today:
Egg Henry Cow Soft Machine Magma Sun Ra Faust Sun Araw Zacht Automaat This Heat Lard Free |

Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided.

Yup...should've listed Faust as well....and Popol Vuh, Klaus Schulze, Magma, Caravan, COS, Crimson and the list goes on and on.
Maybe these threads aren't for me either because I change my mind all the time or perhaps because I keep searching for new stuff? Nahh no rhyme or reason methinks. |

Artist lists never seem to be properly representative of my actual listening tastes. So many of my favorite albums are by groups I otherwise have little interest in. There aren't many acts from whom I've heard a multitude of albums, much less good albums. Even most of these are here primarily for 2 or 3 noteworthy albums.
1. Van Der Graaf Generator 2. Don Cherry 3. Earth 4. Tangerine Dream 5. Einsturzende Neubauten 6. Sun Ra 7. King Crimson 8. Gentle Giant 9. Nurse With Wound 10. The Pop Group If I could count Talk Talk and .O.rang as one group, that'd make the list. |

All their albums are recorded live and totally free-form. The purple one from August 74 (if memory serves me right?) as well as the one from 72 (which I reviewed or at least tried to review) are both stellar, but to be honest with you, I don't think you can wrong in their discography. That also means that it's a hard nut to crack if you don't 'get' or indeed dig the first album you try out; chances are you'll feel the same about the rest of their output.
Though after having seen your posts on here methinks you'll find lots to love in their output. Pick anyone of their albums you can find and expect the universe to zoom into your brain like an inside-out black hole. |

Something like this (today, anyway):
Yes Marshall Tucker Band Bubu Lynyrd Skynyrd King Crimson Allman Brothers Band Harmonium Outlaws Arco Iris PFM I'm never too satisfied with any of the lists I make in these top artists threads since the majority of my favourite music comes from artists who only put out one or two albums.
