Favorite 70s Prog Band: Redux

Zappas Utopia · 07-15-2012, 06:56 PM

MVO was really the only jazz/fusion band that incorporated huge amounts of heavy rock in their sound imo

They took progressive rock to another level & exceeded in that genre like no other, I'mma have to give it to them they deserve it. there is no concept album better than "The Lam Lies Down on Broadway" not even "The Wall" can touch that masterpiece.

I'd have to go with The Pretty Things "SF Sorrow" as the best concept album

Can. I remember buying Tago Mago and was blown away.

Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Rush come to mind.

In my opinion, Pink Floyd is wonderful music but not prog.

I voted "other" for Amon Düül 11. From the bands listed, I'd either chose Yes or Can. Nice seeing Barclay James Harvest mentioned as I loved their prog-folk albums.

The five people who voted Comus are morons. They have one (albeit amazing) album.

debaserr · 10-11-2018, 09:12 PM

Rude!

Not saying I voted for it, but come on man, music is subjective, maybe people really really love it.

So, I've got a question for you fellers. What 70s prog bands do you still listen to regularly?

For me, it's pretty much only Yes, Can and Gentle Giant.

I should probably revisit more Floyd, but I just don't get a hankering for it.

First Utterance is amazing. I love it so much I clean my vinyl with my jizz. But to vote Comus the best 70s prog band is retarded. They have one album.

I still remember that album as being one of the first I ever explored when I joined the forum and was trying to dabble in everything I saw. Haven't listened to it in years but I remember it being the ****. Or I wanted to be cool and convinced myself it was the ****.
