Keep the pretentiousness high and the neckbeards unshaven.
I'll start the conversation off. Was Pink Floyd prog?

You're thinking of metal, which is just prog rock with down syndrome.
And yeah, Pink Floyd was prog enough to count, even if they weren't pure prog like KC.
Dylan Stewart
Depends how you define progressive rock. Most people who take issue with Pink Floyd being labeled as prog do so because they lack the classical influences that were so pervasive in the genre. Personally I think Pink Floyd dabbled in too many genres to be considered exclusively prog, but there are at the very least progressive influences in their music.
Matthew Young
What do you guys think of Big Big Train?
They are one of my favourite modern symhponic prog bands
Henry Adams
Was gonna post this one. I personally think the last one was better, but their albums are pleasing to listen to. Been a fan since English Electric.
Evan Johnson
Oh man, I can't say I've heard of them. What album(s) of theirs do you think are their best?
Camden Perry
progressive but not prog, in short.
David Morgan
Yeah Pink Floyd did some pretty cool stuff, I'd say they're prog.
Elijah Gray
English Electric and Underfall Yard
Bentley Reyes
Essentially, yeah. But like a poorly constructed prog song I gotta make everything 5 times longer than it needs to be.
Brody Peterson
experimental gentleman is 100% PURE cringe. idk what they were thinking. watch the video for it.
Julian Bailey
Yes, Pink Floyd is prog. And if you want uber pretentious, I leave you with this. youtube.com
>just prog rock with down syndrome.
Please explain. I don't even hate metal, but honestly can't see what you mean by that.
Jack Jackson
what are some modern bands similar to pink floyd?

This song really reminds me of Genesis' Lamb
Isaiah Garcia
I'll nominate Kansas and Wishbone Ash as the best Prog rock groups of my youth
Angel Martin
radiohead tbqh but Sup Forums will pretend they're not prog
Oliver Lopez
PINK
FLOYD
IS
NOT
PROG
James Adams
All caps. Oh, my. A convincing argument, you really showed everyone.
Lincoln Jones
>kansas
>good prog
now THAT is good bait
Ryan Sanchez
Isaiah Kelly
If Pink Floyd are prog this one right here is a quite impressive prog album.
Bentley Wright
Twas not bait. Twas merely the truth as I see it.
Surely you can't be denying that Kansas was prog rock
Colton Mitchell
Raidohead isn't prog. They may be progressive, but there's no way they are prog rock. If anything, they fall under the experimental category.
Kevin Johnson
moon shaped pool too
Nathaniel Morgan
>progressive
>is also rock
>not prog rock
really makes you think
Jaxson Kelly
Oh, they're prog. They're just bad.
Matthew Cruz
When you think about it, the alternative movement in the 90's was pretty similar to the prog boom in the 60's and 70's, except instead of jazz they incorporated electronic. they both use quite a bit of ambience and precise tunes too.
or maybe i'm retarded
Easton Clark
I mean they just don't fit the prog rock mold.
David Ward
Pro-tip:
all experimental and psyhedelic rock is progressive rock
doesn't matter if they are similar to other bands in the genre if they fit the merits of the genre
Ethan Collins
Nah, you're right. It isn't prog, but for the most part you're right.
Brody Foster
I'm glad /prog/ generals have been up lately. I love hearing the same rehashed arguments about Pink Floyd and Radiohead being prog or not, and then the 60 posts per thread ranking King Crimson and Genesis albums, complete with another 60 posts arguing about them.
I was pretty disappointed by BBTs last album (Wassail was such a good single but god was the album as a whole boring), is this one any better?
Gabriel Adams
Oh, I understand now. You're but a child.
Where were you in 1975?
Try not to comment on that which you do not know
Ayden Gray
I don't have to have been alive for an album's release to have my own opinion on it.
Julian Adams
Your opinion has little value.
You could have said it wasn't your cup of tea.
You could have said that the 70s were years without progressive rock.
But Kansas was a force in progressive rock at that time.
Get off my lawn!
Dylan James

Hudson Perez
The banter has been quite enjoyable
Thanks for that
Gabriel Thomas
Thank you as well.
Connor Martinez
Not at all. Its worse really. It just never really goes anywhere. You can tell it was a couple of leftovers from Folklore, bolstered with a few more hastily written songs. The last song is the best one on the album, and it was the first one they revealed pre-release. You could probably cherry pick 6 or 7 songs between the both of them and have something rivaling English Electric 1 or 2.
I kinda fear for the concept album they supposedly have in the works. I don't imagine them ever reaching Underfall yard levels again.

I came across this album a few weeks ago from a Sup Forums recommendation. This shit is the real dank. Can anyone else recommend something with the same style? I love how they use an opera singer, middle eastern influences, etc.
Joshua Barnes
if you want more middle eastern influences
>azahar - azahar
if you want a opera singer more
>banco, any album really
Chase Robinson
ur a good dude
