King Crimson is probably my favorite band,so I wanted to listen more prog. But why does so much of it either try to be a medieval tavern music or twee disco? Oh, and you also have got Pink Floyd, which is alright, but definitely not as interesting as KC. Larks is the best KC album, followed by Red and then debut.
The only good Prog rock band?

Do you have even the faintest idea of how broad the prog rock genre is? Stop being an entry level pleb

Listen to Van der Graaf Generator. Robert Fripp was a fan and played guitar with them on Pawn Hearts.

Prog fusion best prog

I think everyone has at this point, and a 10 minute long pentatonic solo does not a good prog song make. I was all over them when I was 14, but then I grew up. Sorry, but they're tedious and lost all soul and charm when they carried on without Syd
Chase Myers
Man you sound like an insufferable pretentious faggot

>pretentious– adj. attempting to impress by affecting greater importance or merit than is actually possessed
How is this not the textbook definition of what gilmour does with his guitar riffs? He plays a bog standard blues lick and then drags it out as if it were god's gift to music. Syd and Richard were the only talented members, sue me. If you want a genuinely amazing prog album from the same era, these guys actually know what the fuck they're doing

Listen to Yes, they're better.
Ryan Wood
I liked them when I was a teenager. I grew out of it and lost no sleep over it whatsoever. Mostly because post-barret floyd was putting me to sleep.
Ryder Torres
Cool. KC is dentist office music
Eli Lewis

This, Yes is the definite prog band and Tales From Topographic Oceans is the logical conclusion to 70's prog.
Jonathan Murphy

Actually its logical conclusion is when punk killed it stone dead.

Yes my dude! I never see King's X on here. GGTN is such a great album, but the production of dogman is amazing
Connor Reyes
In truth, I like all of their albums a lot. I don't have a favourite, so I just posted the most acclaimed one.

Michael Fisher
you forgot the ubu-jubu something blue thing drinking wine from a glass album
Evan Morales
>punk
You're right, punk killed good rock music and replaced it with a bunch of unimaginative low effort crap. But atleast it's "cool" unlike prog so it can be marketed towards (man)children like you effectively. What a wonderful conclusion.
Andrew Torres
>implying space rock is bad
Easton Davis
Close to the edge was a great album, but with TFTO Yes literally went straight over that edge and never came back. Also I was never defending punk, just stating the obvious that the meticulous precision of prog was never going to survive in an environment where musicians could get away with not knowing how to play their instruments properly
Nathaniel Parker
Hell yeah groove machine is a sick song. Digs basstone is fucking huge
Jose Sanchez
only good prog bands are Henry Cow and post-punk groups imo
rest is wank
Jacob Morgan
>post-punk is prog
what the fuck
Hudson Nelson
>Yes literally went straight over that edge and never came back
That's like your opinion, not a fact and certainly far away for reality. I see nothing wrong with self-indulgence as long as it's backed by masterful song-writing.
>post-punk groups
>prog
You don't know what you're talking about. Also Henry cow is wanky as fuck which is not a bad thing.
Sebastian Fisher
If you write off an entire genre as big as prog as wank youre just as pleb as the people you think youre better than
Thomas Hughes
Coheed and Cambria is the only good prog band because they are very melodic and not really prog
Cameron Turner
...
Luke Powell
nah prog is wank
henry cow are only wank in the sense that they're difficult and sometimes long-winded but there's much less posturing and more self-awareness in their music when compared with most prog
post punk is prog rock except not shit

That's not what wank is suppossed to mean. And no, post punk is not prog. Embarrasing post, you're not welcomed.
Luis Bell
how is post-punk "prog" when it was spawned from the genre that was (for the most part) antagonistic to progressive rock? You do realise that prog and punk are like opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to their practical philosophies, right?
Robert Murphy
Hey sport, still listening to lil peep and kendrick lemur? Back in my day you would've got beaten up for that crap

First one's more "proggy" but the second one is hard as fuck. Peter Hammill is quite possibly the greatest rock vocalist.
Also try Gentle Giant.
Elijah Thomas
> no frances the mute
NOT MY LIST!!!!!
Nathaniel Hill
KC after Lizard is only prog in the sense that they were musically adventurous, they pretty much dumped all the archetypes that most of the genre's bands were clinging too.
So it depends on what you mean when you say prog.
Liam Smith
no
i will maintain to my death post punk is prog rock but better

Pretentious space opera wank is exactly the logical conclusion of 70s prog.

Topographic and Relayer are my fav Yes albums.

Yes is the second best prog band. PF is third

King Crimson is boring as fuck dude.
Juan Howard
>he only listened to islands
Jacob Edwards
i've listened from debut up to Discipline and it's okay, but doesn't really have any stimulating qualities. Red was the highlight in my opinion. Best part was the drumming of Michael Giles on the first couple albums, otherwise pretty much all music was objectively good, but the execution was super bland. It may stand out as a staple in music history and excellent technical musicicianship, but there are other artists that stand out more in their uniquity. Something you can point to and say, "that guy has something special". King Crimson has none of that.
Asher Jenkins
I could start ranting about Frances here but honestly it's a question of taste. Their albums are so different and each of them great in its own right.
Charles Richardson
I wanna get into TMV but I can't get past the screeching vocals
Luke Thomas
Yeah, I guess that's a turnoff for a lot of people. Maybe try some of their softer songs like Televators? Have you listened to At The Drive-In?
Or you might wanna check out the stuff Omar (the guitarist) did with his girlfriend on vocals: youtube.com

seriously? if he can't get passed the vocals in TMV how in the absolute fuck will he be able to tolerate At the Drive-in when the same vocalist's balls hadn't even descended?
Andrew Robinson
it wasn't lol. Amputechture is my favorite but I'm not so diluted by my own tastes as to not recognize Frances was the best album overall
