I have been searching prog rock pretty hard lately as a recent discoverer of all the musical treasures to be found. Mostly my searching has been on Amazon looking for stuff related to stuff I have already bought or occasionally I come across a group mentioned somewhere else. This only made me wonder how much I might be missing by not looking more thoroughly. I decided to start going through the list of artists at the Prog Archives web site alphabetically. Mostly I'll check for stuff that I can preview enough and is not too hard or expensive to buy, I just don't have the money to drop on imported music. I figured this would take me awhile but the task is looking to take even longer now. I started in the A's and I didn't make it down three names before I came across a group I liked the sound of so much I bought something by them off Amazon (A Headfull of Monsters...and I really like it). Then I had to stop and listen to what I bought...twice. Yeah, this is gonna take awhile. I suppose this means that I will be continuously coming across new music I like for a long time. I will go through that whole list name by name, mercifully I know what I like or don't like pretty quickly when I listen to it so there won't be too much deliberating whether or not I will buy something by whatever artist I am checking out and the moment.

+1 I have no expectations I'll hear everything I need to hear before I die. There is so much art to get to and such a finite time... Just enjoy what does cross your plate by fate and try not to think about what you're missing. Good luck.  ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

Have you considered making a rateyourmusic account? The reason I suggest this is because it has some interesting features once you have gone through your own collection and rated music - it is able to analyze the way you have rated things and compare them to what other people have rated and come up with common points so that it can give recommendations. ------------- http://tinyurl.com/cy43zzh" rel="nofollow - My 2012 List

I would recommend going through each PA subgenre and checking out the top 5 or 10 albums first. That way, you will get a good overview of prog without it taking years and years just to get to Genesis! After that, you can further explore the bands and subgenres that fit your taste and dig deeper into each of them. Just a suggestion.

I would second this. This website went through alot of trouble to make it easier for you. If you take each sub genre at a time you will develop an ear for the different styles and find what you like, and you will get to know the important musicians in each style, which will in turn lead you to other projects that they worked on (and more new music). |

I've had plenty cross my path randomly already. Going alphabetically will be no less random and surprising for me because I each name will be just that to me: a name to be explored. It may be systematic Won't take quite as long as forever; I skip plenty of them because there are no previews ior the only stuff available is very expensive imports. Stuff to come back to someday when I have more disposable income. I'm also skipping stuff I am already familiar with. I would say I am looking more for the stuff I have not heard of yet. A good example of this is the first thing I came across I liked when going through the A's, A Headfull of Monsters. No videos on youtube, never heard them popup on any prog rock stations, not much material out and it nevre showed up in any of Amazon's "related: sections in the MP3 store although it should have. I'm not sure how else I would have come across this group other than the way I did. Their debut is pretty good though, right up my listening alley. But I'm committed and I know I'll be continuing to enjoy the prog world for a long time to come. I've barely gotten started on the list and already found some good stuff, that can only bode well hehe. And I've already come across enough prog bands I LOVE whose back catalogues I have to work through. WHEW never thought getting into the prog world would be so HARD! :P

Still going to start by going alphbetically for now; I have no problem with it and it will be an adventure for sure. It's not that I think it is daunting or anything like that, it's more awe-inspiring and mind boggling considering the vast amount out there based on the list alone hehe. |

There's something kind of funny/cool about the idea of a music collection consisting of 100 CDs all beginning with the letters A-C. You may be on to something with this concept. The beauty of randomness. It seems orderly on the surface, but it really isn't -- because there's no correlation between a band's position in the alphabet and what they sound like, their relative quality, or even what genre they're in.

I could never explore alphabetically like this. I guess I'm too OCD for this, but the thought of a music collection that's skewed heavily towards the first few letters of the alphabet seems really odd to me. I'm sometimes a bit obsessed with alphabetical symmetry. Personally, I'm not even through the "big names" yet (currently exploring Camel), but if I ever run out of stuff to listen to, I'll just go through the top 100 list. But hey, whatever works for you! I'm sure you will find just as much great music this way than with any other method. |

Any approach, systematic or otherwise, taken to absolute completion will never end, given that this is a living genre and new artists and albums are coming out all the time. I myself take a semi-systematic approach at times, but usually it is pretty random. The important thing is to have a clear idea of what you like while also being open to new artists, styles, and sub-genres. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I sympathize, it's amazing that such an 'underground' form has so much stuff and every time I think we've archived anything worth archiving, there's always another band that wasn't even noticed for a long time. The CD revolution was a big part of it as old obscure stuff suddenly started flowing out from anyone who had rights to release it, which was a huge boon to collectors. Sometimes it feels as if Prog actually has more bands in its history than Punk though you'd never know it. It is a seemingly endless journey, maddening and marvelous. Best to you in your trek. |

Good luck in the maze of prog! I just stumble across albums and read lots of reviews here. I dont bother systemising a search for prog but if I like a bands album I am likely to go hunting for all their albums and listen to them one by one and review each. After that I move to the home page at Progarchives and read latest reviews and anything jumps out and bites me i search for it either on itunes, yt, or spotify. I listen before I buy normally, If I like it I buy it of course. I do check the top albums per year and try to review all those but of course its a lost cause but at least I make myself aware of what proggers are hailing as treasures.
I will check the PA top 100 and try to review all those albums - it seems to be easy enough as all of the albums are gems. My CD collection is enormous now since finding this site and I blame it on PA but its an obsession I have enjoyed like all obsessions. I used to collect sci fi film and TV merchandise and now I switched to prog. its actually cheaper and you can get more of it I did make a blog here to attempt to discover more prog by conducting polls of best rated prog albums per year and came up with a pretty comprehensive list that helped http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67406" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67406 Of course its not complete nor could it be but it took many months and I have no hope of finalising it as the ratings change often as more people rate them here. I also made a list of the top 1000 prog albums looking at each per year and had to change the list when I finally got round to adding reviews from the proggers here and it took years and still not finished. Its a mammoth undertaking but I am pleased I had an attempt and learn about prog in a more deeper sense and discovered more great music. the list is here but its massive so its intimidating but there you go - they are the top rated album over the 46 years of prog thus far.... still working on it.... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83890&PN=1" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=83890&PN=1 Oh also, I read all the Prog magazines and if something jumps out and rips my head off violently I will check out that band and go from there. And one last thing, if a band kindly gives me a CD to review I will never say NO. And if a band offers their music for free on their website I will check that out. -------------

The thing was if you started collecting prog in 1970 - you could possibly get most of the stuff recorded (vinyl) in a very short period.......But starting to collect Now - I already have about 12 metric tons of progressive metal and about a million years worth of symphonic progressive rock......
I am still waiting for the music format where all the recording tracks are available to you - so that if you buy a CD you love but has a pesky saxophonist then you can cut the track and cut the sax, also don't like the singer but dig the music - cut the vocals............. ------------- Play me my song.....Here it comes again....... |

Approaching 45 years myself. Wasn't even a teenager when Dad brought in self-titled Blood, Sweat and Tears in 1968 (which is "progressive" in its own right). From there, Moody Blues, Days of Future Past; Beatles, Sergeant Pepper; King Crimson (self-titled); more early Chicago (great "progressive" stuff). And, by my teens, I was into all the progressive standards of the early 70s: ELP, Genesis, Yes, Kansas, and then Camel by the mid-70s. Back in my younger years, Dad was also playing Brubeck "Time Out," probably since the time it came out when I was born in 1959. "Progressive" - prog - whatever you want to call it, is definitely a life-long journey - enjoy it!

I would go nuts going alphabetically but that's just me. I started with the classics from the seventies then jumped into the different sub-genres like Zeuhl, Krautrock, Jazz/Fusion etc buying what most felt was the best. So yes i used Prog Archives a ton back then(still do) and checked as many top 100 lists etc that i could find.

Agreed, with prog you can not get obsessed with quantity because many albums need to be listened to carefully and repeatedly and the better you know them the more you enjoy them.
If you just listen superficially to lots of bands and albums trying to cover as many quantity as possible in a short time you will be missing the essence of enjoying prog.

If you go for alphabetically, you're going to have a hard time, mainly for 2 reasons: 1) there's just too much, and 2) too much of it is mediocre. On the other hand I can understand your need for exploration and discovery. What I would probably do is (as suggested above) work through the highest rated genre albums to get an idea of what you like and what you don't, and occasionally go for the lucky dip, although chances are you could pick some pretty gross duds, in spite of any good sounding clips. If you do it like that, you'll probably have a pretty good next 50 years. |

Hi,
It's hard to make a good suggestion on this ... when some of these are just looking at some ideas and not anything else ...
IF I can speak/say something for some of the reviewers and admins in this place, it has been that in those days (SPECIALLY!) we took chances ... you saw that cover ... hmmm ... that looks interesting, and I can tell you that between myself and my roomate, we bought CAN, AMON DUUL 2, PFM, BANCO, KEVIN AYERS, and many others ... by the cover ... and there was no way that you were not going to listen to that ZIPPED pair of lips! ... which gave us a better handle on the listening experience, than nowadays ...!!!
Today, you get a sample here and there, not even half as many minutes as we used to do and appreciate, and then you label it ... neo-plastic-x-tempore" ... or whatever ... by the sound ... not even by the music itself and the players compositions! THAT is really scary!
All in all, you really lose the sense of what music is, and does for you ... THUS, if I can make a good suggestion, stop going by anyone's suggestion and LEARN on your own, to interpret what you hear and how you understand it ... it will, in the end, enrich your music listening abilities ... to a degree that is incredible. Mostly you learn -- by yourself -- to decide what moves you or not. The socialist/populist idea that you should check everything including the kitchen sink prior to getting into it has some merits ... you can tell your child that fire burns ... but will the child listen?
You need some independence to learn to know and love, and appreciate ANY art out there ... otherwise ... you will not care about it, or appreciate it ... a few years later! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Ok. I've been Reading a lot of different suggestions and the closest that I can agree with is breaking the prog sphere up sub genre by sub genre. It's the best way to get through the vast world of prog; although I know this website is an incredible encyclopedia or database if you will, but breaking down music alphabetically is not the answer. I think you set yourself up for too much disappointment because of the lengthy roundabout way of trying to discover the diversity of prog and of course what you like. Overall, we have to look at the big picture and definitively ask our selves what we really love and appreciate when it comes to music meaning identify and hone in on what your sound tastes really are. It's less beating around the bush and you can go straight to pleasure town if you take it upon yourself to go down this road. As mentioned in this thread, the amount of art in music is infinite and we are finite in a sense, so it's best to be a bit more hedonistic when delving into the prog sphere at first plunge. Anyway, to discover prog I highly recommend breaking down for yourself through sub genre classification. You'll get a much better sense of what you like sound wise a lot faster and more efficiently. The best example I can equate this to is reading. If you love to read and all the sudden you want to plunge yourself into the world of science fiction novels, you wouldn't say to yourself 'well I'm gonna read every science fiction book ever read.' of course not, any rational person knows this is not possible, so what we can do for ourselves is to search out plot lines, author reputations etc to make it easier on us. The same applies to music. You just can't go about exploring prog of all things through a specific database. That's far too prosaic. :( ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Nahhhh ... the best way is ... to ignore anyone's recomendations and get a feel for yourself!
Otherwise, you will have a real hard time learning what is what and be able to help define it ... because all you know has been "told" to you, and that's that.
The history of the arts, has always been about the independence of the heart and its ability to do its own thing ... but simply going by a populist/socialist idea and design, is more condusive to listen to a top ten, than it is to listen to the bottom ten, or the bands that will never get any recognition!
It's not easy, and you have to figure it out as you go along, but you will never regret that road!
I have no qualms about the distribution via separate elements, as this website and others do, but in terms of suggestions for listening, to specify only one area, is kinda naive for my way of thinking and I will not do that for anyone. But the sub-divisions make better sense if you know the music ... not if you are simply looking for "symphonic metal" ... or "neo-sublime death prog" ... at which point the subdivisions and definitions lose their value when stood up against the music!
It was just like that when in the old days, the new age folks were saying that Vangelis, Mike Oldfield and Popol Vuh were not "new age" (they weren't anyway!) ... but a song or two (specially one with Jon Anderson!) was! It takes away the freedom for the artist! And the best? ... they did what they saw, not what the audience demanded. Those folks will always be remembered. And so it is with "progressive" ... for their inventiveness and creativity ... I guarantee you that Fripp, ELP or Yes, were not discussing "progressive, then ... they were doing THEIR music! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

You really have to be selective. There aren't enough hours in the day for you to explore the whole body of what we consider prog around here.

The quality of the recommendation is dependent of the recommnedor. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

being a huge lover of the Neo prog, prog archives helped me to discover the band Galahad. I knew I would enjoy this band based on the similarities this band has towards other great Neo prog bands such as IQ and PALLAS. My point is I was able to discover another great band that I love based on a genre itself. The genre rule applies big time when discovering new and wonderful music for yourself.

You know ... this is the hard part about talking about music, and not only "progressive" ... and in the end, almost all of music history is about that life-long journey for many folks.
And sometimes, somethings last better than others ... the 20th century has been the century of experimentation and the spreading of the experience of the music. I like to say Stravinsky, Miro and Bunuel and Dali, Burroughs, Huxley as the big artists to be remembered ... and then "jazz" and "progressive" ... I'm not sure that "rap" will be as well represented as it could, and I think the artists themselves would be to blame here ... when they are more interested in tearing each other down, than in the artistry of their work itself ... and too much of it will get lost and be wasted with a criminal past. It doesn't make it any less important.
I do believe, that unlike other generations, mine, will be known for this music ... and I'm proud of that ... because I was there and believed in it and have stood by it for 45 years ... at least!
Each generation has a voice ... some stand up ... some don't ... ours did! And it's voice is still alive ... and its arts, music, and film ... made a solid impression ...

Going pretty slowly, haven't even finished the A's off yet LOL! The random always wins out in the end, I'm definitely getting sidetracked via the sub genres, I come across something I really like and then I find myself digging into that particular sub genre for more goodies. I am certainly enjoying the ride and finding A LOT of albums I enjoy pretty much from start to finish. At times I feel I am about to OD on good music, but then I just keep listening and that feeling is lost in the great music.

I can't pick a favorite; I'm too new to the whole prog/related universe that I am constantly finding stuff I like from start to finish and my particular tastes/musical moods change so often it's hard to pick one specific favorite. I am tending towards the more recent stuff of the last couple decades; there is a ton of older more vintage stuff I have not explored very much yet. Right now I am really fond of Moonwagon, Echolyn, Pelican, Haken, Riverside and Astra.

| I used to go on Greg Walker's website which is called "Synphonic Music". I would click on the flags, read Greg's brief description of a band, proceed to research the band's history on the internet, look for samples and decide what I wanted to take a chance on first. In many cases he's cheaper than scumlord sellers on Amazon and overall more trustworthy to do business with. Many sellers I ran across on Amazon would have a prog title up for 20 or 30 dollars while Greg would be selling it for 15 or 18. |

I did listen and although the music is not my kind of thing it was interesting in an experimental and exploratory way. Also, I totally gave up on this whole thing for the most part. I've never been all that ambitious hehe. I keep coming across too much good stuff through other means or randomly.

There is never an end to great music. In my experience I got to a point where I no longer needed to search and all I had to do was sit back and enjoy
