What are your top 5 favorite bands that are considered "Non-prog"? I'm just wondering to see what everyone's tastes are outside the progressive genre. 1. Led Zeppelin 2. Black Sabbath 3. Deep Purple 4. Iron Maiden 5. The Who ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can |

1. Steely Dan (Simply one of the best bands ever) 2. Chicago (I consider their first 7 albums prog, but I realize I'm the only one in the universe who thinks that way) 3. The Who (especially Tommy, Who's Next, and Quad) 4. The Beatles (Especially after they got heavily into drugs) 5. The Beach Boys (Especially once they stopped playing their own instruments and Brian did LSD) |

Too many to mention...I like lots of classic power/thrash/metal bands such as: Pentagram (also known as Mezarkabul) Forbidden Metal Church (with Mike Howe) Testament early Mercyful Fate (aaarrghh  )Death Angel, Death, King's X, Trouble, Lillian Axe, Mastodon, Agent Steel, Nightingale, Mekong Delta (will they appear on the archives?), Atheist (I'm sure that they will...), but my biggest favourite, one of my desert island disc is : Jorn Lande - Worldchanger |

i agree that chicago started out prog...and speaking of the beatles...they did a lot of prog material during their drug era...in fact i consider the beatles pre prog...i doubt the movement would have ever happened without them. |

Iron Maiden - you should know why Faith No More - because of mike patton's voice and musical experimets with rock genre's Dead Can Dance - that's beatuful  Mogwai - because of those guitar passages combining noise with typical song structure Nile - those egyptian folk elements are incredible and sound is heavy and quite progressive I can say |

Great list. You may be the only person in the universe to think that Chicago's first SEVEN records were prog, but I'll back you up on their FIRST record for sure! I'd say Beatles, Dan, Zeppelin, Beach Boys, and Dave Mason probably... |

The Black Crowes - great blues/rock band. Buddy Rich - in my opinion, the most skilled jazz musicians ever. The Flaming Lips - please don't make fun of me. The Rolling Stones - my favorite british invasion band. Toots and The Maytalls - superb reggae, better than Bob Marley. ------------- Arguing on the internet is a lot like the special olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded. |

Midnight Oil were great! Diesel And Dust and Blue Sky Mining in particular. They broke up, didn't they? Your picture, is that the Afro Celt Sound System? |

I'm not sure if Midnight Oil has offcially broken up or if they're just taking some time off. And yes, those are the Afro Celts. |

Here's some bands I do like. -Metallica -Dimmu Borgir -Strapping Young Lad -Nightwish -System of a Down -Kamelot -Helloween -Evergrey -Sepultura -Iron Maiden -Judas Priest -Nevermore -Meshuggah Put that in whatever order you like. I'll get back to ya in a couple of months when that list is concrete. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/FishyMonkey/?chartstyle=artists">

to sonic wizard and Cygnux X-2: both of you are automatically at the top of my most respected forum members list because you like the Lips. I have all of their albums except the first 3 (they're hard to find) but i like them more than 99% of all other music (including prog). I can't wait for their new album. but anyway, my list: 1. Van Halen (the other 1%) 2. The Flaming Lips (of course) 3. U2 4. Led Zeppelin 5. either Incubus or Oasis (their new album "Don't Believe the Truth" is amazing)
