please recommend a progressive rock band.

[StarThrower]

If you like Pink Floyd, try David Gilmour's first solo album. A self titled release from 1978.

Also recommended is former Frank Zappa guitarist, Mike Keneally. Try his debut release, Hat. It's loaded with great songs and excellent guitar work.

Rush-Hemispheres or 2112 are great guitar heavy prog albums.

 

[DaKillerWolf]

Hemispheres is really heavy and still VERY proggy GREAT album ^^

 

[StarThrower]

The latter day King Crimson stuff is heavier still. I recommend the 2003 release, The Power To Believe.

On a related note, Adrian Belew Power Trio - Side Four Live is another great record.

 

[Gabble Ratchet]

Porcupine Tree for sure, Also Motorpsycho, Magic Pie and The Mars Volta.

 

[Khor1255]

ha

 

[Jake T]

Always have to get a plug in for the Dregs.

Dixie Dregs - Sleeveless in Seattle

 

[architect]

^^^ that's one weird ass band! Country-jazz-rock.

 

[Acousticwalden]

In the floydian vein....Riverside
In the Crimson vein...PFM

 

[Bonham'ssqueakypedal]

For pre Dark side of the moon Floyd anything by Porcupine Tree up to and including Signify

For King Crimson try Anekdoten
