uhhh, have you tried Porcupine Tree?

Don't feel bad. I've been trying to get outside of the small niche of prog that I actually like, mainly Yes, Rush, and Pink Floyd, and get into some more stuff from the genre, but I'm finding a lot of the cliche pitfalls in both modern and classic prog rather annoying.

Hmm...well I'm not sure then. Maybe its the fact that being experimental tends to lessen the emotional impact of a lot of the music? If that's the case, though, I would think you could get into early Genesis. I always felt Peter Gabriel put a lot of emotion into their songs.

Meh...oh well, you can't like everything. Respect for giving it a chance though.

Are Rush classed as progressive rock? Really? I just thought they were straight up rock and roll. Never really minded rush, but I'm not into them either.

I've always found progressive rock a bit pretentious and boring, but I'm sure many will be quick to question my view and put me right. Just can't help having that feeling though.. At least I'm not the only one who is having trouble with this genre.

My thought process was, progressive rock.. hm okay, let's try it. Then.. progressive rock is the devil. And now I'm like well maybe it's not all bad..

Check out the next couple of Rush reviews I am about to write...if you don't like anything off Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures, then yeah just don't even worry about prog anymore.

Though those two albums are hardly progressive, in my opinion.

The closest thing to prog I can dig is stuff like Primus and Tool, but even with those bands I prefer the shorter songs and don't like it as much when they "jam it out"...

Tool don't do it for me either.

Thanks for the advice regarding my devil genre. I'll be sure to give Rush a listen because they have been the most appealing prog rock band I've heard. I'll give Krautrock a listen as well.

If it doesn't happen then meh, at least I can say I've tried.

What Crimson have you heard?

Anything from the John Wetton era? Cobain had nothing but positive things to say about Red.
