Secondly, I'd start with Can, and Ege Bamyasi. Firstly, like Yes, and Rush it's really accessible. But it's much more variant, and easy-going than both. Plus, it might introduce him to Soft Machine's Second, and Third. Second is quite wonderful, surprisingly poppy, beautiful piano centered rock music, and Third is a fantastic example of excellent Jazz fusion. If he can get into that, then I'd bring in Magma which may be some of the most dense, and overpowering music ever written by human(and kobaian) hands. Maybe introduce him to 1001 centigrades, which has a 28 minute opening track that throws everything, and the kitchen sink out. Ideal for any fan of prog. Thirdly, AMM will probably get on your nerves more, but is amazing. |

Every Inch A Man by a band named Zior. Released in 1972, it was their 2nd album, and is quite a unique blend of psych, heavy guitar riffs, and organ mostly. Biggest weakness is the vocalist, I can tolerate more than most so enter at your own risk. Not terrible, but certainly the weakest aspect.
|
The Flaming Lips. Wonderful psychedelic band
|
MoeTar, X-ray Press and Clouds on Strings. These groups have more of a jazzy prog sound i guess you could call it. Anything similar would be greatly appreciated.
|
Audiobakery.
They're new, and I can't stop listening to them. |
Yea I'd really like to expand on prog, mostly prog metal. I've heard most of the oldies King Crimson, yes, rush which are ok, but not to my liking besides from Pink Floyd and Crimson. I'd like more recent stuff since it's very limited to Dream Theater,
Tool, Porcupine Tree, Rishloo, heard a bit of Chimera and Opeth, and PoS (though don't like them) and ASHES dIVINE... don't know if they are really prog. Anything would be appreciated. |
Some of my favourites:
SHADOW GALLERY KAMELOT THRESHOLD ADAGIO SILENT EDGE |
OK, lets have some good stuff from prog after 2000. Im in to melodic classic rock with a prog twist. So these songs (/bands) I list is prog but with a good flavour of rock.
Airbag Norwegian band who play melodic rock with a lot gilmourish guitar. The lead guitarist have the page gilmourish.com - maybe the most respected page about Gilmours gear, sound and style. Riverside I like to say Riverside is Pink Floyd meet Porcupine Tree meet Dream Theater meet Tool. Riverside is from Polen and makes advanced spay prog with some metal in it. Really good stuff. This is a rare instrumental, but damn good. Devin Townsend Hard (metal) experimental prog. Very, very good. The album Terria is a masterpiece. No matter if you like rock, metal or prog this is a super album. The song I've chosen is the most "mainstream" on the album but very good. Porcupine Tree I my opinion the best band the last 15 years. They take everything (pop, rock, metal, prog, alt rock, indie, electronica, krautrock, ambient and psychedelic) in to the their music blender and make crazy good music. We take a modern classic from them Anesthetize (live) Erik Norlander I don't like much of his music (way too much synths without a meaning). But this single song (instrumental) is pure heaven. Very good ambient song. And about 4 minuts into the song the is a long guitar solo that even Gilmour would say was very, very good. Antimatter Almost an Anathema spin of. They album Leaving Eden is very good and much like mid Anathema albums. This song is almost like REM meets Anathema. Another great solo in this one. Astra Put early Pink Floyd with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbat, Hendrix and early Genesis and make modern music and you have Astra. They have made two very strong albums. Kingston Wall A Finland based band. Make old style psychedelic classic rock with some prog and with an almost arabic music feel to it. Strange but so good. I love, love this tune and most songs from them are like that. Pineapple Thief I like to say that they a light version of Porcupine Tree with a lot of Radiohead in it. This epic is great. Really like the guitar from about 10 minuts in it and forward. Oceansize Spacy, psychedelic prog with some elements og King Crimson in it. Music at the highest order and music you have to concentrete to if you want to enjoy all of it. Comets of Fire Stoner, psychedelic space noise prog. Love it all. But the song I most of all enjoy is a strange ballad that almost is something John Lennon could have made (melody and vocal - not the music). Love it. So strange and hunting. Pendragon Old classic neo-prog band. But their newer albums have a harder and more modern sound to them. And I like that. This one is hard rocking. Not a long epic prog song. But still its very very good - and I like the lyrics. |
Oh yea love Devin Townsend. I'll check out the others, especially Riverside.
Thanks, appreciate it. [edit] Okay so I gave Riverside a listen, dug it. Any album recs? |
Cool Bands?
Hey,
I'm a little bit younger and have just recently stumbled upon this one band King Crimson. I saw their album The Court of The Crimson King and I thought the cover looked cool so I bought it. When I went back home and started to listen to it over and over again. I had never heard anything like it. I decided to buy their other album Discipline. Now that I know that there is music like this out there I crave more. Due to the fact that I'm younger though, none of my friends have ever even heard of King Crimson. So, I've decided to make this thread in hopes that someone could lead me to some King Crimson like music. If anyone knows about a band I might dig please respond (I also like Pink Floyd and Blondie) |
Maybe try Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull, or the Moody Blues? I'm not an expert on King Crimson by any means but those four are all well-known progressive rock bands that would fit in a similar category (I know Rush cites them as an influence) and that have good music. The first prog rock band that came to mind would've been Pink Floyd but you already mentioned them.
Hope I was (somewhat) helpful! ^^ |
Prog isn't really a tag I would give to these bands. Thoughtful Rock maybe! |

Really like this song/album. |

Black Lab anyone?
Recently, Black Lab released its fourth proper album (although others have been made)Two Strangers, featuring twelve new songs that swing from vulnerability to devotion, from cold-wave desperation to indie-pop celebration to post-grunge thrust. Black Lab's music continues to find its place on TV (FX's "Dirt," ABC's "Private Practice," "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?"), film (Happy Tears), trailers (He's Just Not That Into You, Waiting for Forever), and commercials (Honda, McDonalds). This album is great, replay, replay.....

Looking into Os Mutantes, anyone know where I should start?

Retrospective is young polish prog/art rock band with many influences such as King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Van der Graaf Generator, Can, IQ, Pendragon, Arena, Camel, Porcupine Tree and many many more. They released two LPs and one EP. Their last record is "Lost In Perception" (chosen by readers as best polish album on rockarea.pl and progrock.org.pl). This track is first single from that album. ENJOY, share and comment :) |
