 Topic: prog music suggestions
Posted: May 28 2005 at 15:57 |
ive been listening to prog for about 3 yrs now, and wish to get more in depth. its daunting though, and i would appreciate band suggestions.
i am an enormous fan of: dream theater, yes, pink floyd
and a lesser fan of: genesis, frank zappa
and i have heard at least 5 albums from each of the preceding bands, except for zappa.
thank you

Rush- 2112, Hemispheres, A Farewell To the Kings- Ever thought aBOUT THEM?
The Flower Kings- Unfold the Future, Adam and Eve, Flowerpower, Stardust We are- probably the best Neo-Prog band, if you consider them Neo-Prog by the way.
Pain of Salvation- Be dvd/cd, Remedy Lane, 12:5, The Perfect Element Part I
I'll give you more if you want.

About Porcupine Tree, try In Abstenia, even though its their heaviest approach towards Prog, its my favorite.

King Crimson would be a great start to see what you like in prog!
You could try some kraut rock ( Tangerine Dream, Neu, Klaus Schulze, Can, Kraftwerk)
If you can, try those italian prog bands: Premiata Forneria Marconi , Quella Vecchia Lacanda, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, etc.
Flower Kings (yes-like happiness)
Eloy ( space rock à la Pink Floyd)
Gentle Giant, Caravan, etc etc!

Seeing that you got some solid suggestions from outside the scope represented by the bands you mentioned, I'll try to give you some stuff that's similar, but different enough to what you like now
ive been listening to prog for about 3 yrs now, and wish to get more in depth. its daunting though, and i would appreciate band suggestions.
i am an enormous fan of: dream theater, yes, pink floyd
Fates Warning, Symphony X, Psychotic Waltz, Spock's Beard, Anathema, RPWL,
and a lesser fan of: genesis, frank zappa
Steve Hackett, Anthony Phillips, Frogg Cafe, Mike Keneally (solo and with his band Beer for Dolphins), Primus (not prog, but Larry Lalonde is influenced by Zappa's playing)
and i have heard at least 5 albums from each of the preceding bands, except for zappa.
thank you

Go for Dead Kennedys... Today I realized that Genesis and Neo-Prog retards a guy's mind.
|
And above all, is punk

@ Fantomas
Hey, don't go there. Ivan loves Genesis as much as you love Fantomas and sticks up for it as you do for your stuff. Ivan's a good guy, really it's unfair to call him names.

Funnily enough there's a thread around here that states a solid case for the Dead Kennedys being a very interesting band...

Lyrically, Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra solo albums are the most instructive bands of all times!

Good choices - let's add some DT side projects here - Liquid Tension Experiment, James LaBrie's, John Petrucci's and Jordan Rudess' solo stuff, OSI, Frameshift, oh, and Explorers' Club !
Maybe also Chroma Key, to complement the suggestions above and to couterweigh them a little...
