From the "outside" looking in, the best (most talented, favorite) mainstream
rock band? In two categories: Pre-1990 Post-1990 ------------- Yes yes yes, there it was. Youth must go, ah yes. But youth is only being in a way like it might be an animal. O my brothers... |

I find Pearl Jam to be an extremely respectable non-prog band. They view
their music as art and take a long time creating their form of "non- commercial" music. Regardless to whether their songs are played on the radio they will not market themselves on TV or make music videos available on MTV or VH1. I find this very respectable from their part because they could have many "hit" songs off MTV and would make a lot more money if they did. Their music is also interesting to me as they do experiment a lot on their later albums (which is why they are a lot less popular now.) Most people don't even think Pearl Jam exist anymore because they don't market their albums. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

I really think Zeppelin. Even though they weren't a progressive rock band, I still think think they "progressed" rock. They added folk and middle eastern influences with blues and rock to make some extremely great music. -------------

Well, my favorite non-prog, ore-90s group is The Smiths. They were great songwriters and I loved their music, but they aren't necessarily the "most respectable." I may have to give that term to Zeppelin. Post-90s...I could mention quite a few. There are a lot of creative, talented bands that aren't prog, or at least not 100% prog. The Indie Rock scene bears quite a few artists that are very creative, unique, etc. and display some progressive elements, but haven't quite crossed the line into prog. i.e. The Decemberists and The Dismemberment Plan. Other great bands/artists include: Andrew Brid, Sufjan Stevens, Animal Collective, Broken Social Scene, Circa Survive, Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips, The Get Up Kids, Minus the Bear, Modest Mouse, Queens of the Stone Age, RX Bandits, Thrice, and Zombi. Now that I'm looking at this, there are a couple of bands that I would even consdier mentioning for inclusion here. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Pre 90s The Doors, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, U2, The Beatles (specially in their latter works), Depeche Mode , etc Post-90 The Cramberries, R.E.M (although they began in the 80s), Oasis, Nirvana, Coldplay (specially at the beginning), The Corrs (this is a personal favourite), etc
Probably there are more, but these are the ones that come into my mind now |

Thinking hard here, trying to avoid the obvious ones, eg: Zeppelin. Ok, pre 1990 - Prefab Sprout. Excellent songwriting from Paddy Macaloon, lovely harmonies, and interesting lyrics. 1990 onwards - Starsailor. Haven't heard their third album yet, but the first two are excellent. Wonderful vocals and atmospheres. |

Ween and Radiohead are probably the most talented bands in existence right now whatever genre. Broken up, I'd have to list the Smiths, the Pixies, the Beatles, the Doors, Nirvana, (though I hate listening to them, they sound like honest blokes but their songwriting is awful) and that's aboout it. |

I suppose some of Oasis' albums are not that bad if you take the hipe out of it. The Santana album "Supernatural" is great. Also some Metallica stuff isn't bad (except ofcourse St. Anger which is |

Pre 90's - sorry, not that original but it has to be Led Zeppelin Post 90's - some of the trippe stuff is really atmospheric, with a lot of interesting sounds going on. Best are Portishead, Massive Attack and Morcheeba |

I've always adored The Move. Check out the prog leanings on "Shazaam" in Cherry Blossom Clinic and Fields of People. And, of course, The Who. "Sell Out" may be one of the most entertaining albums ever produced. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

There's a non-prog act I really admire. Mary-Chapin Carpenter is classified as country singer, but she's so much more. She mixes country, rock, blues and jazz to form a cohesive whole. Besides, how many "country singers" do you know of that write, play and produce their own stuff, not to mention being to get BRanford Marsalis to guest on their record? ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

If you've ever heard the Move you know they are nowhere near being Prog. I just said a few of their songs have prog leanings for no particular reason. I might add that I love Randy Newman, too. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |
