I need some excellent prog-rock recommendations. I'm a big fan of King Crimson and I'm already getting into old Genesis.
I listen to all the more mainstream bands that could be called prog-rock, like Floyd, Moody Blues, Yes, etc.
I need some solid suggestions for prog-rock bands, and the best albums from them, if you'd be so kind.

Anyone? Echo...
I'll start.
Not a single prog-rock troll out there?
Hitler did nothing wrong.
Here's another one that I'm posting myself.
I'm lonely.
How long can I keep a post going all by myself?
Is it really this hard to get a response? I respond to stupid things.
Hello...
Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
Anyone?
I'm gonna post my whole hard drive and see how long I can keep this going solo.
Is anyone even seeing this? If I posted a pic of a naked trap banging a goat, thirty people would immediately respond, asking for more...
Some early ELO. People don't talk about them much here. They weren't quite as prog as King Crimson but not quite as mainstream as Pink Floyd or Rush. Underrated prog rock band IMO. If you decide to check them out do not explore past Out Of The Blue.
bump
;^)
Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt is a masterpiece.
This thread sucks. I'm not going to learn anything new if nobody responds...
best modern prog rock album
Thanks! I do need some ELO. I have listened to Tarkus and liked it.
I'll get that. Thanks!
This guy is fag.
This is better
Never heard of em. I'll get that as well. Thanks!
I've heard that one is the best of the bunch. I'll check it out.
I was thinking of ELP.
I have an ELO best of. I'll have to give it a thorough listen.
opeths pale communion is pretty much a homage to 70s prog
Also, sorry for calling you a fag. I ignored your name. Don't worry, this board is shit. I feel your pain. Nobody responds to you unless you post Radiohead, Talking Heads, Death Grips, or flavor of the month shit.
It's not Prog, but check out Love- Forever Changes. It's my favorite album. Everybody I have shown this album to, it becomes one of their favorites. You seem new to "serious music listening," but hearing Forever Changes, an album with perfect flow and all good songs, will set you on the right path towards patrician-dom.
Never even heard of this guy. There's a shit ton of stuff out there.
No worries, man. OP is always a fag.
I'll check it out!
Don't listen to a best of album. Hardly any of it will be prog ELO. It'll mostly be their hit songs from later in their discography when they became popular. If you want prog, Don't go past Out Of The Blue, and even then don't listen to much past Face The Music. That's where they started getting popular and changing their sound to be more mainstream.

I'll get the albums. I hate best of albums for the most part, but I think I bought it for the two songs I already knew.
But really, check out Love- Forever Changs. It's fucking gold.

Also, Comus- First Utterance is fantastic.
Getting some Love - Forever Changes right now. I'll give it a listen.
Love it. Have it.
You won't be disappointed.
Also, check out Yes- Close to the Edge. Best A side of all time.
every ayreon album
Comus is proving to be harder to come by. I have my eye on some torrents, though.
Yes seems to have a huge catalog. I'm a fan of what I've heard so far. I'll get that one, too.
I'll get some. Thanks!
not too into prog but hot rats by zappa is real good
Torrenting is for plebs. Use the catalog: archive.rebeccablacktech.com
Just type in some keywords (Comus first uttereance) followed by "mega" (so that megaupload links show up) or "zip."
Also, get Soulseek. It's a bit archaic, but it gives you access to pretty much all the music ever released. It's a file sharing serive which allows you easily download files off other users. Just make sure you share something so that the system doesn't lock you out.
porcupine tree - "stupid dream"
sensations' fix - "fragments of light"
dungen - "4" (most will probably say "ta det lungt" though)
the amazing - "picture you" if you can't handle the swedish-ness of dungen - they aren't as proggy though
split enz - "mental notes" all over the place but fantastic as a debut album
moonwagon - "foyers of the future"
clearlight - "clearlight symphony"
odyssice - "impression"
mansun - "six"
crime in choir - "trumpery metier"
nick nicely - "psychotropia"
tauk - "homunculus" and "collisions"
Haken is good
Third from Soft Machine
not your standard prog rock album, but it's one of its bests in my opinon.
Alright you people are going to think I'm memeing or whatever but hear me out.
Babymetal.
If you're still reading after this name then let me tell you what I listened to. I don't think much of the albums as a whole but on Metal Resistance there is a track that doesn't sound like the tracks before it. I fucking LIKED it. I think you might too. It's called Tales of the Destinies.
How are there so many bands I've never heard of? I'l look all these up. Thanks.
Good info - I'll look into all this
Using the charts will help you
I've read the name Babymetal before, but have no point of reference. I better look it up.
Am currently getting the soft machine library
I'm not him but I'm pretty sure that Babymetal is Pop mixed with Metal.
What's your favourite prog album this year so far? I have enjoyed these

Best album. Tarkus isn't that bad either.
Why was Asymmetry so underwhelming
Why do they always take 4 years to release new album
This is all great stuff.
it's stupid kpop bullshit, you're getting trolled
...
I've been stuck on King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King for too long. I love it, and am completely fascinated by it, but I don't want to burn it out.
How many of these have you hard OP
Not that prog, but still darn good.
I haven't looked it up yet. It sounds just terrible.
I was jut about to link Leprous, they are the best prog metal band in the last fw years
Haha! None of them. I'm relatively new to prog rock, and getting good recommendations is difficult in my circles.
Yeah. Babymetal are three girls who were a subdivision from an idol group in japan but as of late have been making serious waves in North America here if not Worldwide. Lead has got some pipes on her with two younger girls on vocals They are backed up by a metal group in thier songs
When they got featured in one of my regular wrestling programs i could no longer ignore them. Like I said they're not anything special in my opinion but Tales stood out because I immediately recognized the genre. If I ever recomended a song from them to anybody it's gonna be that since I am not used to many J-Bands getting into prog like that.
I'll look them up - any particular album you recommend over others?
Here's a good chart to start with prog
Highest rated albums on Progarchives
I'll give it a listen. I have a feeling I won't stop reading that name for a little while, anyway.
I really liked asymmetry
those fucking interludes tho
I just found it great to hear some harder and driving stuff like the last few and the refusal
also alpha is goat 2bh
Feeling like a dead duck!
>Haken
How is the new album? I was so happy to get my hands on the first three but just listened to Restoration and didn't bother to pre order Affinity.
I'm getting the Karnivool discography now. I'll check them out.
This is the shit
listen to karnivools deadman like now son
It's pretty good, but not as good as last 2
Great list!
Never heard of them. I'll look them up.
Symphony no. 2 is BRIRRIANT!
pretty good
less silly shenanigans than on the mountain though
I liked it a lot
>Karnivool
Why not just listen to Ocenasize or Tool
The wubs on Endless Knot were pretty silly
I legitimately think asymmetry is their perfect album and i love most of their releases except persona back
why not listen to all of those bands? they're all phenomenal
because I prefer the vool mate
on that note I also prefer rishloo over tool
tool is just so cringeworthy at times
that being said I still love tool
oh yeah I forgot about rishloo
youtube.com
Camel - Mirage, snow goose
Van der graaf generator - Godbluff, Still life, Pawn hearts
Komintern - le bal du rat mort
Also magma senpai
that's the best track of the band that's not saying much but still
Rishloo is probably the best Tool lite band ot there, much better than stuff like Soen
listen to the progarchives top 100 album list. ask for recommendations after you finish based on what you liked.
Tool is better actually
Why does p4k shit on Mars Volta? was there a story of a falling out between them or something?
>Miles davis
every time
Lateralus best album
I actually disliked asymmetry at first but now it finally clicked for me.
tied with sound awake for me
>inb4 those two tripfags that love Gazpacho and Airbag
Haken's new album is pretty great, though not quite as good as the mountain. Wasn't too big on Airbag, they sounded like Signify era Porcupine Tree but the songs mostly felt stagnant.

the contortionist - language
not really progrock but I find that album fascinating
underrated and great
youtube.com
le cynic rip off
how do you feel about King Crimson's seventies albums? Larks, Starless, and Red are all better than ITCOTCK imo
Language. I fucking love this album!
I'm glad to hear an opinion on those. I've had a hard time "attaining" the rest.
I'm looking for them now. I have wanted to hear the rest of the catalog for a long time. I'm just too lazy.
