The Prog & Psychedelic Rock Recommendations Thread

Dream Theater perhaps? or is that too mainstream? THey are the proggiest, Metal band I know of. Still touring, still releasing new material. One of my all time favorite bands. Sometimes the musicianship/wankery gets so unreal that I just have to laugh. Its all great stuff though.

Psychedelic is not as melodic as this song you've posted.
If you hear king Crimson, then you'll understand what psychedelic is.

Ok, my recomendation for today is:

Van Der Graaf Generator -- Bunsho

I wouldn't really associate King Crimson with psychedelic music. They're more progressive rock or jazz fusion.

If someone wants to hear a decent example of psychedelic music, then I would cite bands such as The United States of America or The Doors. Can't go wrong with a little neo-psychedelia either...

Any good modern prog rock albums that I should listen to or any prog rock in general?

A few prog bands that I enjoy are Gentle Giant, Yes, Henry Cow, Art Bears, Univers Zero, Magma, early Soft Machine, and Pink Floyd. (and Faust since some people consider them prog rock)

I'm looking for something more accessible, though -- I have plenty RIO albums.

(Baggs may suggest something if he wishes to)

If you want accessible, why not UK popsike?

Very advanced in their field at the time, more so than most others.

13th Floor Elevators - anything with an electric jug is automatically psychedelic.
