Prog rock thread

heard roundabout through jojo memes and from there i got into king crimson. what other albums should i check out?

Glad you're enjoying it beyond the meme anime value.
Albums to listen to (in order listed preferably, from most to least accessible):
1. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound, Foxtrot, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

2. King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King, In The Wake of Poseidon, Discipline, Lark's Tongue in aspic, Starless and Bible Black, Red

3. Gentle Giant - Octopus, Acquiring The Taste (these guys are particular oddballs so be ready for that)

4. Jethro Tull - Aqualung, Thick as a Brick

5.Robert Fripp - Exposure

6. Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, Godbluff, H To He

There are more but those are my personal favourite prog albums/bands.

start from the mainstream staples of the genre, they are pretty good so you won't miss out
check out every prog album on the wiki first
also obligatory
>learns prog from anime

>tfw you use up all the budget for the anime on licensed music

another thing i'm wondering about is how do yall digest music when listening to a new album? cause for me it takes like 10 full listens till i can get into an album sometimes

Camel's first two albums are a must
soft machine's stuff with wyatt
in the land of pink and grey
henry cow in praise of learning
khan space shanty
amon duul ii yeti and phallus dei
magma kobaia

Also check out Rush, either start with 2112 or moving pictures
