I've met more King's X fans since I joined here than I have ever known in my entire life. Good to see that prog fans can like good music which isn't strictly "prog" in the general sense. I think they are one of the greatest bands, especially vocally, ever to record.

Yeah their recordings are great, but I've seen 'em live about 8 or 9 times, and they tear the roof of the muthasucka! And the three part harmonies live are near perfect. Every one of my friends that I have dragged to see them without knowing them has left a fan.

That's the ultimate praise.

Ya know it's scarce I see a top 10/favorites list without seeing "Yes" on it.
Yes... "Yes" is on mine as well, Yes, it's confusing, yes?
Here is my list:

Yes
Anyone's Daughter
IQ
Ayreon
Dream Theater
Pink Floyd
Emerson Lake and Palmer
Sigur Ros
Camel
Magma
Genesis

Schizoid man, based on your favourites list (im only assuming here)
I think you are really going to like Ayreon, definitely Marillion.
Opeth and Symphony X are very hard groups to digest, I love symphony X myself, but I could never digest the "Cookie monster" vocals within the beautiful music, that is Opeth. It just didn't seem like it should have been there, to be honest with you i HATE opeth, becuase of the simple fact that they threw that style of music in absolute beautiful sections of music... it eritates me.

I'm going to do my best to keep this short...

The Who
Neil Young (& Crazy Horse)
Grateful Dead
Marillion
Genesis
Do Make Say Think
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
The Rolling Stones
Animal Collective
The Beatles
Bob Dylan
 
That's just a sample of the madness.

and that is why I love OPETH and that's what make them prog and original in my opinion. This scary hardcore metal music mixed to the beauty of the prog world. Brilliant combination. Brilliant Band.

Changes very, very often. For Prog, my favourite band is Van der Graaf Generator, closely followed by Gentle Giant. Univers Zéro and Etron Fou Leloublan are competing for third place.

My favourite non-Prog band is probably At the Drive-In.


Posted By: fungusucantkill
Date Posted: July 03 2007 at 23:59
As of right now they are:
Mr. Bungle, Estradasphere, Secret Cheifs 3, Manticora, 5uu´s, Henry Cow, Battles, Yellowjackets, The Flaming Lips, Skank, Dave Brubeck, Ni Hao, O Rappa, Le Orme, and Lightning Bolt.
Each day i´m on here a new band will probably become my favorite. But thats how it is right now.

I thought it was odd you didn't mention Kingston Wall due to the Von Hertzen Brothers. I actually prefer Kingston Wall...very amazing.
