ELP's decent for a prog band. They're along the same lines as Genesis for me: highly rated among prog heads but only okay for anyone else. Don't really dig either but I don't hate them.
And Batlord, not sure if you've heard it but you'd probably like some gay **** like Jethro Tull's Aqualung or Thick As a Brick. They're not the strictest prog band, but they're pretty great.

How do you get someone like Batlord to listen to Prog?
Would have thought it was obvious, pick an album that Lemmy plays on....

A band I mentioned in my earlier post who I think find the PERFECT balance between "chops" and SONGS is King's X. Like Rush, the musicianship is top notch, and there are certainly progressive elements in their music as well. However, it's the SONG that matters the most. Because of that, the "musicianship" shines even more, in my opinion. For that reason alone, I think King's X put Dream Theater to shame, and also have the chops to match, contrary to what many in the "prog rock" community would say. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the guys in Dream Theater themselves admitted that. But I digress ( ). Great comments everybody pro and con. |

King's X is prog? I've only heard Dogman so I could be uninformed.
