DMB is an ok band but I think the OP obviously doesn't know what prog is if he/she is listing them as a progressive rock band. I think there's a better case to be made for Phish being in this section and an even better one for Umphrey's McGee.
Uh no. Not true. Prog never died it just went underground. Trust me on this. In fact, in the eighties you had Marillion who were possibly one of the highest profile prog bands of the eighties and they were probably the most well known(at least in the US)of the neo prog bands. Prog was alive and...
I've only heard their very first album but I liked it. They were a rather unique band for the time period. I've heard that they became increasingly more rock oriented with later albums(which is fine by me). Other than their first what are some good ones to get started with?
I think it's the only KC album I never actually owned. I've heard songs here and there like "dinosaur" though. Based on what I have heard I'd say it's maybe on par with Beat or TOAPP but not Discipline.
Just got back from seeing Roger Waters tonight(or yesterday now.Lol). Great show. He puts on an amazing performance. I never saw PF so this was a real treat for me.
I would like to go but not crazy about the venue. They will be at the same place where I saw Black Sabbath last year. Probably much of the same crowd too(not that it matters).
Relayer is maybe my favorite but out of these I chose Close to the edge. Anyone here who doesn't have it has to run to their local store right now and buy it or buy it online. To say it's a must have for all prog rock fans is a vast under statement.
The first three Asia albums are very good. Phoenix from way later on is really good also.
RIP John Wetton. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned here. Apparently he died from cancer yesterday. One of my favorite singers and bass players too.
I apologize for resurrecting this thread but I am really into spiritual themes in rock. Good call on YES. Lot's of Moody Blues stuff too actually(although their lyrics seem to be more about inner peace and serenity than overtly spiritual imo).
Moody Blues- The Voice
" " - The...
Porcupine Tree- Signify, Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun and In Absentia. They lost steam after that(still good just not as good).
As for Kiss I haven't heard "rock n roll all over" but have heard "dressed to kill,""Love Gun," and "Destroyer." I think Destroyer is the best of those but admittedly...
Wow, I almost didn't recognize them. I have seen early photos of them before but never that early. The evolution of the band is almost the same as the evolution of their facial hair. ;) For what it's worth their very first album is a very good slice of jamming bluesy hard rock.
Well then I've probably run into you or have seen you at some point because I've been to a lot of prog festivals too. Some people it seems just don't like the idea of being on a boat with a bunch of mostly drunk and mostly aging white males. Others it seems don't mind so much. For me the only...
It's not that popular because quite frankly most newer rock bands that get exposure aren't that good. Most of them are indie bands that just aren't that original and don't bring anything new to the table. I believe the classic days are long gone and even the rock from the eighties is better than...
Hello there!
I can't remember if I ever introduced myself on here or not. Anyway, I haven't been on this forum in a very long time so I suppose a re-introduction is in order anyway. I had a lot of log in issues and was usually too lazy to try to resolve them.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of...
If this was facebook I would click the like button here.
I saw both Ian solo live and JT live a couple of years later and both were very good. However, I think I enjoyed the solo show just a little bit more though but both were very good.
