| I don't think many genres are influenced by prog-rock, as prog-rock is influenced by the best aspects of all genres prior to prog-rock. |

A lot of modern British indie bands take their cues from Pink Floyd ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

King Crimson was the first band to play metal I believe. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

| Metal. There is no expansive subgenre called Prog-R&B, Prog-Country or Prog-Techno. |

Then that means that yu haven't heard Hidria Spacefolk. prog techno and reggae... I knoe it sounds wierd but It's perfectly blended with psych prog and folk instrumentations... (this sounds even more wierd  ) Hightly recommended even if you don't like the genres said above.-------------

New Age was definatly influenced by prog. But Metal was probably more so. I mean King Crimson is really on eof the founders of that genre and many modern gothic metal bands have a very expansive, proglike "scope" to their music. And dont forget 3 very famous metal bands: Iron Maiden, Led Zepplin, and Yngwie Malmsteen all had prog elements to varying degrees. EDIT: I forgot that Metallica`s early stuff has rather complex composition structures showing they had been listening to some prog. So does alot of death metal though Im think many death bands got that more from "complex" metal bands like Metallica instead of straight from prog ------------- If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks! |

might be totally off base... but throwing my two cents out there.. electronca/industrial/techno in very large part due to the 'krautrockers'... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Metal......There'd be no metal without prog bands, especially King Crimson. ------------- System of a Down, Slayer, Fear Factory, Death, Children of Bodom, Meshuggah, Symphony X, Nevermore, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden. |

huh??? I've never understood the connection some people put with King Crimson and metal. Someone mind educating me on this. Prog may have saved metal from extinction after it became a parody of itself and grunge finally put a daggar in it's heart in the early 90's 
but King Crimson... someone explain that to me please. The King
Crimson I've been listening to for years was more avant-garde...
progressive than... meer metal. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I believe Goth Rock is the most influenced genre by Prog Rock, after early Symphonic and Folk Prog bands proved that it was not impossible to blend Baroque and Celtic with Rock, Goth bands used late Medieval (Gothic) influences in their music and in some cases with a postrock edge like in the cases of Dead Can Dance or Miranda Sex Garden. To the point that in some cases it's almost impossible to discriminate one genre from the other, because the points were they encounter are so many that create a new form of fusion (in a broad sense).

Modern metal and new age have certainly been heavily influenced by
prog, but then so was a lot of new wave and post-punk (notably THE STRANGLERS, PiL and POISONGIRLS). The first SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES album from 1978, "The Scream", for instance opens with a track whose sole function was "to set the album's key signature" and closed with a track entitled "Switch" that is pure progressive in both its musical developments and lyrics ("Doctor rectorates, condescending from on high..." - sounds like something Ian Anderson would have written five years previously). |

mmm interesting...I kinda agree with you, because two of the fathers of metal, Sabbath and Purple where also considered prog in some ways or some songs...and what would be of metal without the suites of Maiden, or the long and well played songs from early Metallica? All thouse where influenced by prog!!! ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

Metal would go without the prog influence just "right", it's only that it would be much more primitive, raw and ugly. If prog didn't exist, I wouldn't be listening to Metal either: all the stereotypes about it would be true. However, Prog influenced Progmetal, which is the most popular kind of prog these days. Now speaking of Progmetal, the influence of general Prog was crucial here. -- Ivan |

None!!! Except for Prog Itself!!! Prog is absorbing and accumulatng various features (not necessarily but mostly best ones) of other musical genres, Prog is taking the influences and using them for its own good. Different sub-genres are evolving within Prog and nurturing each other, crossing each other, mixing with one another and giving birth to new ones. That's why Prog is the best! ------------- carefulwiththataxe |
