Prog?

[Zirconim]

Anyone here like progressive rock/progressive metal? I like prog rock bands like Rush and The Mars Volta, and I like prog metal bands like Tool and Dream Theater.

[Old Erisia]

I know that North Weidia loves this stuff. i do too, but don't spend too much of my music listening time to it.

I absolutely love King Crimson with unflinching ferocity. I'm a bit "ehh" on Dream Theater, because there is something about the lead singer's voice I just can't get past. I do find Liquid Tension Experiment fucking amazing though (it's Dream Theater without the singer)

I also love Tool and to a lesser extent the Mars Volta. I haven't really listen to Rush, but my brother assures me they are good (we tend to share the same tastes, except in some glaring instances).

Have you listened to the 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus by Spirit? The album is not quite prog per se... more like "proto-prog".

I like prog, the bands you named as well as ELP and Pink Floyd.

You spelt my name wrong...

I looooovvvvveeee prog. Pink Floyd, U.K., Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, TMV, Asia, Dream Theater, ELP, PFM, Le Orme, Genesis, Banco, DFA... did I miss any?

I never really liked Rush, though. I can listen to it, like, on Pandora, but I would rather listen to something else. I think it may be Geddy's vocals.

I also like Fusion acts, like Return to Forever, Miles Davis, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra...

Favorite band? Pink Floyd. Favorite album? U.K.'s self titled one. Favorite song? Tie between "Close to the Edge", "Us and Them", and "Supper's Ready". Favorite vocalist, John Wetton, favorite drummer, Carl Palmer, favorite bassist, Chris Squire, favorite guitarist, David Gilmour, favorite keyboardist, Keith Emerson, favorite violinist, Eddie Jobson.

If I had to reccomend one album from all of the above bands (besides DFA - haven't gotten my hands on any songs but what I've heard is phenomenal), I would say Dark Side of the Moon, U.K., Close to the Edge, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Stand Up, Frances the Mute, Alpha, Octavarium, Brain Salad Surgery, Storia di un Minuto, Felona e Sorona, Foxtrot, and Darwin!

Also, MUSE ISN'T PROG. GOSH.

Prog is decent, I like prog metal best

[The REAL Glasers]

Frank Zappa, Henry Cow, etc. are some of the best. King Crimson's up there too.

[North Wiedna]

Frank Zappa

Knew I forgot someone... >.>

[Conserative Morality]

Dream Theater and Rush are about as 'Prog' as I get.

You missed Camel. Moonmadness is definitely in my top 5 prog albums.

Never really liked Camel, but you reminded me of Gentle Giant. Octopus is great.

Hard to tell the difference sometimes between prog and trog.

Well, you don't have to be a total dip, why is it not prog?

[North Wiedna]

Because it sounds more like a mix between hard rock and experimental rock.

Hopefully not.

That's a very bad way to think.

[Yootwopia]

No, it isn't. Prog is utter dreck.

[North Wiedna]

Opinions.

[Svarttjern]

Tool is prog but its not metal in any way shape or form.

That being said I really enjoy The Mars Volta but I'm more into black metal or heavy metal myself.

Ah, black metal fans are so delusional about what metal is. Well, Tool is indeed progressive metal, alternative metal, and art rock. So go eat those apples...

Really now?

And Tool doesn't really incorporate elements of Art Rock, there's very little Metal about them either. They're Prog Rock, but they're a little light on the Prog elements as well. Alternative Metal isn't an actual genre, it's a term made up by journalists for vaguely Metal bands that they don't want to dump into Nu-Metal. Alternative Metal has absolutely no unifying sound.

[New Manvir]

I like some Rush and Pink Floyd, that's about it.

[The Twilight Shadow]

Depends what mood you get me in. If I'm chilling out and relaxed something gentle like Tool can be just right. Generally though when I'm in that mood I listen to electronica of various kinds though.
