Prog?

Post by madmax1012 »

So I've always kinda dismissed prog, but the last couple of weeks I've really been into a few bands. Am I ok? Do I need an ILF intervention, or is there prog love here?

it depends on the kind of prog you're interested in though... what are you basically asking about?

you can never go wrong with Porcupine Tree though... also King Crimson...i could go on for a long time, tell me what are you interested in :)

Yeah what kind of prog are we talking here? Rush/Yes? Dream Theater? TMV? It's a pretty broad term.

I fucking love Rush and King Crimson. 'Prog' is a broad and silly term that encompasses some awesome stuff and some crap, like most genres.

Prog is supposed to mean progressive. You know...moving forward with music rather than retrogressing. Unfortunately it came to mean white-people-jacking-off-music (thanks Dream Theater). The obvious greats are Genesis (anything up to And Then There Were Three), early ELP, early Yes, Rush, etc.

You can't go wrong with my favorite, King Crimson. I love every era of the band - they NEVER stagnated, and always maintained a sense of weirdness and creativity that just about every other prog band has lost at some point in their transition to move into the mainstream.

OH! Also check out Van der Graaf Generator. 2:53 of this song is unbelievably heavy. The chugging sound is saxophones and organ, not guitar:

Mainly much newer stuff. Lots of Porcupine Tree kinda started this. Opeth's Damnation, BTBAM, bands like Scale the summit, all kinda contributed too. I've never really listened to bands like Rush to be honest.

Yeah, I was more leaning towards modern heavier 'prog' stuff which I see more as just metal in weird time signatures (so, older prog with more distortion and screaming...) than actual progressive interesting music when I was criticising the genre name. It's kind of annoying that it's come to signify the wankery like you said when really a whole host of great artists could easily be called prog but aren't. Which sounds kind of the opposite of what I was saying earlier so I'm not sure where I'm going with this... :?:

Either way King Crimson are rad.

There is a ton of great prog rock. Some bands I think won't get mentioned:
