Prog rock vs post rock. You can only listen to one for the rest of your life. What do you choose?

Includes 1st-3rd wave post.

Neither.

Probably post-rock because of this album

Post rock because prog is fucking awful.

They were great live.

ugh, I missed them in Manhattan and Brooklyn last month... Tickets for them and Drive Like Jehu sold out way quicker than I ever would have imagined.

There's very little of either I can stand outside of this. But since it's the best album ever recorded I can deal.

Post rock is just prog rock though.

post. only prog I like is tool so it's not worth it

>Tool

O am I laffin

pleasant wank vs unpleasant wank

Prog.
Post is for plebs.

Hmm.

Rock music that was to take inspiration from non rock forms and apply them in to make unconventional rock songs where the creators quickly ran out of ideas and turned rehashing ideas or using their virtuosity for faux classical wankery symphonic shit where they do terrible in concert covers of pieces with rock instruments

Or

Rock music that was to take inspiration from non rock forms and apply them in to make unconventional rock songs where the creators quickly ran out of ideas and turned to rehashing of the same ideas of atmospheric droning to a crescendo or simply applying more gain and distortion to their amps to create post metalgaze

I'd like to choose neither

There is no neither, now fuck off.

>All prog is ELP

>All post rock is Mono

Prog rock sometimes isn't boring

Your fault for making a shit thread, anti intellectual

>anti intellectual
>as a noun and insult
kek, anti intellectual

That has been an accepted noun for years. As far as an insult, I simply used it to label you as a dimwitted and hostile person that shuns intellectualism.

At least you have the decency to understand that what you are is undesirable, if you consider it an insult.

...

well i grew out of prog when i was like 15 and i haven't heard that much postrock so i guess postrock

Prog eventually becomes soulless wankery, post-rock has the potential to be somethong cool and unique.

I wasn't that other guy, I just think you're being edgy

OP here, enjoying this, thanks f@m

please enrich your life with King Crimson and Yes

okay then, now i'm gonna stop listening to post rock because it's for plebs. is that what you want to hear ?

b-but if some kind of music bores you out, you're a pleb. true Sup Forums patrician should be able to absorb any kind of music

It matters little.

As you can see here , op is an anti intellectual that is so obsessed with his memespeak he avoids filters. He's most likely a newfag and a memer as well.

String music is shit, now fuck off.

What are your favourite electro-swing, kpop, crunkcore and calypso albums?

It's not like I listen to prog wank ever, anyway

OP again. Hahahah memespeak is actually the name of my teamspeak server. You know me well, you beautiful intellectual bastard, you.

he's a newfag because he doesn't know the album, that can't be helped. but he is a memer.

Tbh the only prog I like is Can

making me choose between my favourite genres.
I would go with post-rock simply because I can't imagine not listening to GY!BE anymore.

>progressive rock
>can only progress ripping off jazz and classical
What a bunch of pretentious twats. Christgau was right

Depends how generous you're being with the labels 'prog rock' and 'post rock'

If prog includes all kraut rock and Pink Floyd

and post includes Seefeel, Main, or even, like, Swans or Spiritualized or EAR...

then maybe the choice might be a little harder.

but between the more conventional ideas of prog or post-rock, prog pretty easily wins because you'd probably safely still include Floyd, plus Italian Prog, Gong, King Crimson, hell, I'd even put Bee Gees Odessa in there.

if we were being really generous we could even argue that Cocteau Twins, MBV and Bjork (even Radiohead) are all 'post-rock' in a non-generic way... in which case it would definitely win for me (except I don't care about Radiohead).

I rather listen to good music

>muh sub, sub, subgenres

Rocktards are so cute.

Wait... post-rock is updated/evolved/adapted prog, isn't it?

post rock sucks.

First wave prog/Canterbury scene all the way


>tibs bedora

Steve Hillage rules

>post-rock eventually becomes soulless wankery, prog has the potential to be somethong cool and unique.

Ok I'll take the bait. Unsub those subs for me. I.e, show me the family music tree that leads to prog and post rock being 4 generations down from whatever you consider to be the "original" genre.

>Bjork could be considered post rock
Not in any way.

krautrock/canterbury/avant-prog/zeuhl > post-rock > ELP-tier wankery

Fuck this is hard

I'm gonna go post-rock. I'm so sorry Magma and Herny Cwo

samefag

wait, does Krautrock count as prog? that package deal would be impossible to turn down for muh crescendos

Sorry

>all post-rock is crescendoshit

i was memeing i love post-rock

Nice paint skills, fagtron

(You)

How can something be a subgenre of itself

Jesus this thread makes me cringe, Sup Forums has truly embarrassing taste in music
Prog all the way, both old and new

>mu/ has truly embarrassing taste in music
>posts Steven Wilson
jej

Is that that gamelan band?

prog but genre labels like that are stupid and I don't see why post-rock shouldn't be considered prog

Post-rock is a subgenre of prog-rock dumbass

Go away Wilson stick to remastering Yes' catalog

Mama Mia! Post-Rock sure is a shitty genre.

>memerock for granddads vs memerock for dads

g e g

Prog rock easily, post-rock is hipster garbage

Yes, Macha fuse "alt rock" with gamelan stuff

yee and they're pretty shitty at appropriating the style
their gimmick caused me to sense the subtle Gamelan hints in EitS though. much better band

>hipster
what is this, 2010? are you gonna start calling things fedora in two years?

I cannot comprehend how awful the first half of the post is but how true the second half is

>Bee Gees Odessa

What the fuck, why didn't i know about this. thanks user

Butthurt because you got called out?
Hipsters just can't into prog, they have to listen to dumbed down post-rock

Prog metal is hipster kryptonite

>djentshareguy

As much as I too would vouch for prog over post in a heartbeat, prog metal is bad my dude.

>replying to djentshareguy seriously

>dumb weebs

Fates Warning are legends

Stop

>all prog rock is wank

whom art thou quoting

That's a tough one for me. That's like asking to me to get by with just Starless or Sleep for the rest of my life. Not an easy call. Probably post-rock though. Product of my generation I guess.

Who are you quoting?

Your mom lol

My mom's fine with prog. Played her ITCOTCK one and she liked some of the songs

prog probably, I don't listen to much post rock though, I'm open to recs

this guy has fucking nailed it

burn

Progressive rock > post-wank

I played her MYCOCK

>hipster prog and sporkshit > actually good rpog
lmao

Post rock is included under the prog rock umbrella, so I'll go with prog.

If Prog Rock also includes Krautrock, then obviously prog.

wow you are so witty and clever

>ELP is good
get some taste you fucking caveman

kek

yee
spork rock is best rock

Post-rock > Prog-Wank
What an easy game to play

Prog-wank > post-wank

>ELP is bad
Epic meme faggot

Ew
Head back to /r/music thanks
