Any Prog Rock Fans Here?

Hell, I remember when Kansas, Steely Dan, Yes, etc, where called Prog Rock...

 

I was the world's biggest proghead about, oh, 40 years ago. I grew out of it. LOL.

I moved into jazz, as well as art rock like Eno, Bowie, U2, etc. And good old-fashioned RNR.

I still listen to the old stuff every now and then: Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Todd Rundren, Jethro Tull, etc. And I listen to jam bands from time to time--a lot of them are very prog-minded, including even Phish on a good day.

That said, it just doesn't excite the old synapses the way it used to. Kind of like Kathleen Turner, I guess.

I could tell you a story about how around '79-80 I listened to Eno/Fripp's Evening Star one evening under some light chemical enhancement, and the scales fell from my eyes, and I never saw anything the same way again, but I'll save it for another time.

I talk to the wind by king crimson
Such a sick album

 

It's hard to imagine Dust in the Wind and Rikki Don't Lose that Number as Progressive Rock.

 

Yes it is.

 

Karnivool is awesome. Loved the Sound Awake album. If you like them, check out Tesseract. Also just listening to Leprous last night - another amazing group of musicians.

 

In my opinion out of all the old bands King Crimson has aged the best. I still listen to KC in all their incarnations on a regular basis.

Oh, and Fripp is God.

 

Long time King Crimson fan along with Fripp and Eno, Porcupine Tree etc. Still crank em up and zone out. Anyone listen to Space Lords ?

Long live Robert Fripp !

 

Will do

 

Ooh almost forgot Ihlo. If you like more keyboard based stuff. They are fantastic.

 

Listening to Leprous Pitfalls now. Good Stuff.

 

That final track in 11/8 is absolutely nuts. If you can't tell via my recommendations I'm a drummer. But man that song soooo good.

 

We would get along. I'm a bass player.

 

Check out Leprous Coal album then. Crazy rhythm section skills.

Edit - Actually I meant "The Congregation" - Just spun the whole album, so so good.

Since I made a booboo I'll add in Caligulas Horse and if you want some nutty death metal prog with sick violins, check out Ne Obliviscarus

 

OK checking out Caligulas Horse slow violence. Killer stuff. Guess I'm putting in another Amazon Order.
I typically find my stuff on Morrow.com

One of my favorite bass players.

 

The Mars Volta. If you don’t know them yet, you should.

 

Probably not prog.
Love me some prog rock but DAM!
Its like marilyn manson and lady gaga got cloned with slipknot.

Definately a huge LIKE!
thanks

 

That bass tone is insanely awesome!
Had to grab the earbuds and rolling thru that one again atm.
Thanks

Edit
Great track!
All excellent players.
