Dead serious metal and prog are trash for those with limited capacity for musical knowledge to self-wank over
Robert Lee
Ehhh, as far as prog metal goes its more or less garbage.
The mainstream prog rock bands are pretty lame too. Pink Floyd, Rush et al. There are some good ones out there though, a la Camel.
Lincoln Lopez
The only good prog and metal bands are Zappa and Primus, and, evidently, they're self aware and constantly mock those genres. Zappa particularly deconstructs the whole prog rock opera shit on Billy the Mountain.
Carter Gomez
Most prog is shit desu Math rock community is full of nu-males All punk is shit tho
I like Can
Kayden Kelly
Don't be so quick to dismiss an entire genre.
Hunter Brown
>getting this mad
Cooper Walker
ill be the roundabout of ur ass
Christopher Torres
>disliking both prog and metal Unless you're an exclusively classical and jazz listener you're an irremediable plebeian user
Hudson Morris
ITT: Plebs who think the fan base represents then music
Samuel Turner
No I'm talking about the actual music and its shit wankery
Owen Butler
don't bother it's a bait
Jordan Reed
ah ok, im out
Tyler Gonzalez
(You)
Eli Scott
Pink Floyd are still pretty cool though
Blake Wilson
>even in the year of our LORD 2016 elderly metal musicians are more patrician than literally who bedroom wankers, wanna-be gangstas, indie scene "i have a ph.D. in jazz" shitters and meme-tier spintable fags
This One band I hate is Soft Machine. Third is the shittiest attempt at jazz I've ever heard, and Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom is a fucking cure for insomnia Most prog-jazz-fusion is just really shitty jazz that's praised because it's classified as rock
Matthew Kelly
Progressive rock doesn't even make any sense. Why did anyone think that there needed to be a watered down version of classical and jazz when rock has always been about fun, energy, and catchy songs? Why not just listen to classical or jazz? Also the Sex Pistols are GOAT
Jose Garcia
>Most prog-jazz-fusion is just really shitty jazz that's praised because it's classified as rock
I've actually always thought the exact opposite. Prog is praised since it's somehow considered a more "artsy" version of rock because of it's influence by jazz
Joshua Jones
It's ironic because Johnny Rotten was a Van Der Graaf Generator fan and Public Image Ltd is like a punky version of prog
Jonathan Campbell
>Why not just listen to classical or jazz? introduction of other arrangements into the rock vocabulary in more interesting ways
I always preferred slightly more popular prog anyway (not AOR) like Genesis (up till hackett left), Floyd, Yes, VDGG etc, basically just drawn out pop songs with extended instrumental passages and weird shit but still sonically tight as hell and solid in terms of arrangement
Nicholas Adams
Mama Mia! Avant-prog sure is a shitty genre, eh, Luigi! Of a-course Mario! What the spaghetti is a zeuhl anyway?
Michael Martinez
oh it's this meme again Do one about metal
Camden Russell
I like Pink Floyd because it's simultaneously soothing and pleasant as well as complex enough to keep my interest. I especially like really dreamy tracks like "Set the Controls..", "Careful with that Axe..", "Remember a Day", "Fearless", and "A Pillow of Winds" (the last one reminds me a lot of Popol Vuh). Haven't found much other prog that scratches the same itch, it's generally a cheese fest or too cock-rocky.
Kayden Peterson
I honestly don't think people that hate Pink Floyd realise that they were never meant to be musically complex and they never were. They just churned out really cool conceptual albums with sonic pleasantries, kind of like a more accessible, but much more individual (not many bands can imitate their sound) take on psych rock but more emphasis on production and agreeable songwriting.
Austin Murphy
Mama Mia! Metal sure is our favourite genre!
Caleb Cooper
>It isn't my thing therefore everyone who likes it is wrong
Jack Kelly
>ITT morons who think every prog. band is Dream Theater
Jackson Nelson
>I've never met a Rush or Yes listener that looks like a regular human being. Wow. Why is this so accurate?
Jace Peterson
>can't appreciate the polyphony of metal/prog/classical/jazz >"Y-you guys are just nerds!"
Jaxson Sanchez
Prog can encompass a very wide range of styles and sounds. Pic related is a very cool prog/speed/power album that is very different from Dream Theater, Rush, etc.
Jason Wilson
>he doesn't realize that yes/rush/floyd/king crimson aren't that far off. it's really melodramatic, it's the fantasy of music. whilst I couldn't say that any of those bands are bad, they're certainly lame. I can't help but cringe when I listen to those bands. prog is the fedora of respectable music.
Isaiah Martinez
You are just a faggot
All prog is shit, and metal is just as bad
Michael Long
great thread
Grayson Sanders
Third is a jazz album?
Jason Lewis
this
Owen Stewart
>tripfag
Filtered
Asher Diaz
>Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom is a fucking cure for insomnia now hold on
Matthew Morgan
:D
Eli Miller
Reminder that Dream Theater is far from the greatest, but if you really, really hate them you are pleb as FUCK and trying (and failing miserably) to be contrarian.
Jace Phillips
heh
Liam King
99% of the music from every genre sucks, whats your point?
William Morgan
this is what retarded image-conscious punk fogeys like steve albini actually believe. truly the most terrible people and the hipsters of their day
Benjamin Anderson
Pic related is probably you
Cameron Ross
I don't really like Led Zeppelin that much, but you know what I mean.
Jayden Cox
lol whats goin on in this thread
Bentley Kelly
He was also a Beefheart fan and Malcolm McLaren would hassle him about it even though Beefheart was more punk than most of the bands in that UK scene.
Chase Richardson
Probably Grimes fans invading it.
Adrian Rivera
I don't like solos that last longer than 30 seconds or so. It's rare that I can take a full instrumental song, and in the case I actually find one, never will I listen to it outside of the context of listening to the whole album.
Fight me, for I am King Pleb.
>I've never met a Rush or Yes listener that looks like a regular human being Rush, I'll make an exception for. When I think stereotypical prog rock, I don't think Rush. Rush seem more to me like a standard 'rawk band' that just had specific interests they wanted to write about and didn't want to play the same five minute songs forever.
Jonathan Sanders
I like Can tho
Hunter Reyes
okay.
Aiden Gutierrez
>What is Mr. Bungle
If you don't go looking for good things you won't ever find it.
