Err, we like heaps of the same bands you retard.
Sublime, Weezer, Tripod, Beck, Cake, Cypress Hill, Elliott Smith.... I can't be f*cked continuing(spelling?).

And Mars Volta actually have pretty good songs if you can look past the wankiness and the singer. So much wankiness.

Haha Yeah you might like all those but you hate Rush and pink floyd, so there for (i have no idea how it works but eh) your a nazi - hooker

ooooh! I have! Both discs! I loves it!

Yes it's quite a mindblowing album, and surprisingly, very underrated, or better yet, unsung.

Indeed it 'tis.

ten favorite prog bands/(Fav Alb)
1 radiohead (kid a)
2 sigur ros (())
3 rush (2112)
4 king crimson (red)
5 explosions in the sky (the world is not a cold dead place)
6 kraftwerk (man-machine)
7 neu! (neu!)
8 pink floyd (wish you were here)
9 primus (sailing the seas of cheese)
10 mars volta (frances the mute)

Does a concept album mean that the band is prog? What if it's divided into suites?
What if the songs are 9 min. +? I want to know what kind of music I make.

just becasue you have long songs and a concept album doesn't mean you are prog nessacarily.... it's not really that progressive to base your self on everyother prog band

I love progressive rock, jethro tull in my opinion has the best songs ever. I have a band and we play progressive metal.

no not really, the first concept album was believed to be sgt peppers, after peppers the concept album has been a long celebrated tradition in prog, but many non prog artists have made concept albums too...punk bands like the minutemen and husker du made concept albums, and punk rock was pretty much founded on its hatred for prog and everything prog stood for in the 1970s...green day made american idiot, which was a concept album...but no way are they prog, and theres nothing else about the band that is similar to prog.

no way! Cedric has a great voice. I know its all subjective, but his voice is incredible in my opinion. But yea, omar-rodriquez is insane on the guitar. You should check out his solo album.

John frusciante is considered progressive rock too right?

in the mars volta yes...not in RHCP...though some of their music is progressive...they really have no prog influences, except maybe david gilmour and robert fripp, they seem to have some influence on frusciantes guitar playing.

well john frusciante isnt with the mars volta ;) but I just brought it up because it is similar to the stuff omar rodriguez and the mars votla play. He has like 10 solo albums out.

hes not a member of the band but he guested on frances the mute...though it was only on one song.

ah, ok I see what you mean. Him and omar also had a jam session awhile back, pretty good stuff.

flea is also the lead trumpet player on frances the mute...hes actualy pretty damn good.

bump.


bitch.

He played Jazz trumpet before he ever picked up a bass.

haha, i never knew that, interesting.

cool, porcupine tree has to be my favorite prog band. Dream Theater is great. Mahavishnu Orchestra anyone?? And the mars volta are great, truely one of the few new good bands out right now.

i love prog - i was just watching pink floyd live at pompeii which is a great video of the floyd around the height of their psychedelic period

That video is incredible!
