I was just wondering what yalls opinion was of what band I should get every album for, if I were to choose one band to get into. If there were one and only one band to get every album for then what would it be, I need a new favorite band you know. ------------- "http://tinypic.com"">

| Well it's very hard to just pick one band to get into unless you have a favorite style of music. The progressive rock bands that are a part of this website are similar and very different at the same time. My favorites include Rush, Yes, Asia, Dream Theater, and probably ELP. Rush and Dream Theater are more of rock bands but still have that progressive hint in their music. Yes, Genesis, and ELP are more of what the call art/progressive rock with deeper, more artistic types of music. I would say Asia is a blend of these styles. Other people may disagree with me but this may get you started. |

It depends. What do you currently listen to? Other than Pink Floyd.

i just wanted a new band to replace my current favorite pink floyd and i wanted jsut one band because i want to go from their first cd to thier last just like i did with floyd. im not looking for the best band but really the best band that i can go from the first cd to the last, which one would be best at that, i dotn really care wich one plays the best or anything, just a band that has a nice "timeline" to go through and experience, and it would be easier to do this with just one band and not many, that way i can really focus on one at a time and not a whole lot. ------------- "http://tinypic.com"">

I've been getting into the krautrock genre lately, bands like amon duul II, Can, Faust, Neu! I've also been REALLY digging the band Gnidrolog, check out their album "Lady Lake", It's incredible. -------------

Others have beat me to it but I'll back them up: GENTLE GIANT! Though you may not want their last two albums that's still 10 albums that all reward a LOT of close attention. They're a brilliant band to get into - casual listening is not enough.  |

I agree with Dick Heath, these threads really don't result in anything
meaningful... Why don't you use the top 100, in your case the http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?style_id=15&album_type=1 - psychedelic/space rock top 100 and just choose the first band you're unfamiliar with! ------------- Currently listening to: - Andromeda - Pagan's Mind - Kamelot |

If you're only collecting one band, it's got to be Yes.

seriously, if you like Pink Floyd, I would suggest you try Porcupine Tree & Pineapple Thief (I'm not much of an authority on either, but I would suggest Lightbulb Sun & 10 Stories Down, respectively...) happy hunting, and tell us all what you discover... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

I THINK YOU SHOULD SPEND YOUR MONEY FOR MORE THAN ONE BAND. CHOOSE THE BEST FROM AS MANY AS YOU CAN. ITS A GOOD THINK TO HAVE A VARIETY OF LPS. AFTER ALL IN PROGRESSIVE RARELY A BAND SOUND LIKE ANOTHER |

There is only one you should get into, Sir Millard Mulch. Yeah, I
know everyone is telling you about all of their other groups, but think
about how cool you'll be when you say, "That's right, I listen to Sir
Millard Mulch." and everyone else doesn't know who he is and wants you
to enlighten them. You can go to his website and listen to a 10
minute sample from his latest album "How to Sell the Whole F#@!ing Universe to Everybody...Once and for all!" Plus, there are several guests on the album like Virgil Donati (Steve Vai, Planet X), Dave Meros (Spock's Beard), Morgan Agren (Frank Zappa, Dweezil Zappa) and Nils Frykdahl
(Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Idiot Flesh) who make the album even more
spiffier. Also, the song titles are some of the best to be had in
a long long time. How could you not want to listen to something
called "How to Pretend You're Stupid Like Everyone Else so you can
Become Gainfully Employed and Enjoy Your Limited Time on this f**king
Useless Planet in just Five-Zillion Easy Steps!" ? Not to mention
the fact that it's a triple disc album
with 4 hours of material on it for only $20. Come on, you know
you're tempted. www.sirmillardmulch.com You know you're curious. ------------- Coalinga knows how to party. |
