This little challenge of listening to a bunch of progressive rock is turning out different that I expected so far. I thought it would most likely be a rollercoaster of cool moments that I could get excited about and annoying moments that would get me all bothered, but so far, I'm overwhelmingly feeling just... unmoved. In one ear, out the other. It's kind of like if I listen to some AOR or the more dull end of pop music. I just don't feel anything at all.
Does any progressive rock band have an actually interesting singer? Gabriel/Collins/Anderson/Stewen Wilson seem like the prototypical models for prog vocalists: Measured, kinda sugary and mostly just not very expressive or interesting.
I'd like to hear some progressive rock that's either actually expressive or musically interesting. So far, it's almost strange to hear all that complex music fly by without anything registering or having any impact at all. This genre is shooting blanks
