Recommend me some prog with female vocals please. I'm really enjoying Eskaton lately.

Blake Wright
Obligatory
Also, Curved Air and Henry Cow
Daniel Williams
>tfw you have to play second-fiddle to Marillion for over 20 years.
These guys are super underrated. Their stuff from 1994 onward is some strong material.

Benjamin Price
Brazil stronk
Owen Gomez
Best prog ever recorded coming through
David Torres
Why people praise this so much when it only has 3 good songs on the whole album and the rest is boring shit.
Zachary Foster
No one ever talks about this band
David Robinson
It's not even a prog album
Kayden Gomez
yeah, it's much more folk and blues influenced than prog
Bentley Collins
My favorite prog albums are In The Court Of The Crimson King, Wish You Were Here, and Close To The Edge. Close To The Edge is interchangeable with The Wall imo.
Isaac Fisher
Best Rush
Henry Bennett
Thoughts on the steven wilson remixes? I think they are pretty good.
Jordan Torres
>Close To The Edge is interchangeable with The Wall imo
pleb. ctte is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than anything roger waters was ever capable of making.
William Rodriguez

>Close To The Edge is interchangeable with The Wall
the wall is great but it's not prog imo
Eli Ortiz
Because studio recordings weren't really so much better than love recordings back then, it's my opinion that the best Yes albums is their live album Yessongs. That live version of Siberian Khatru is like infinitely better than the studio version, like to the degree I can't even enjoy the studio version anymore.
Brody Phillips
Eli Morgan
oh my god, please stop posting
Jeremiah Bell
i'm not the biggest fan of prog, but you guys should check out pic related, they're from the same guy and it's basically mellotron porn
Nicholas Evans
Oh shut up we both know you've never listened to Yessongs otherwise you'd agree
Christopher Sullivan
I guess I should have specified it as "capable of making on his own." The Wall is pretty much just a roger waters album, whereas the albums before it had all members writing all the songs. There are a few exceptions like comfortably numb, but most songs on the wall were just roger waters. shine on you crazy was a collaborative effort.
Jackson Richardson
Thank you for elaborating.
Jeremiah Murphy
No
Anthony Diaz
Nice arguments
Matthew Perez
Not really hidden gem, 6k listeners on last.fm but they are pretty fucking good.
(RIO-JazzFusion-AvantGarde)
youtu.be
Also Jukka Tolonen has some really good shit
Josiah Walker
i think roger's solo songs on that record are among the best it and floyd have to offer, but i'm sure i'm in the minority, and this isn't the thread for it anyway
Owen Jackson
Tbh, he is way to overrated.
Chase Adams
As long as we're talking 10/10 Italian prog, I strongly suggest this little gem here. They were a band that realeased short pop vocal songs in the late 60s, and then, out of nowhere, made this single prog concept album, centered around the mafia. An amazing listen:
Ryan Jones
This. Annie Haslam is the best female (pop) vocalist of all time imo
Zachary Jackson
My favorite Prog album
Lincoln Sanchez
>pink floyd isn't prog
When will this meme die. At least use a detailed argument on exactly what qualifies as prog and why they arent.
Evan Scott

Camden Carter
I've always felt uncomfortable calling Floyd Prog as they started as darlings of the psychedelic scene. When Gilmour joined I think they took on more of a blues influence. I'm not saying that Floyd are a blues rock band but deep down in their music you can still feel it's influence. And that's not Prog.
Kevin Carter
I think that floyds are one of those band where you can't exactly pinpoint the genre of mysic they make and so you just refer to them as a generic label even if that's not completely correct.
Wyatt Cox
Let' settle this once and for all:
Are Supertramp Prog Rock?
Gabriel Morales
Sometimes.
Jose Nelson
>muh blues guitar
They still experimented plenty post Barrett and had concept albums and 20 minute songs. That's prog m8.
Adrian Murphy
this is pretty cool mate, thanks
Zachary Lewis
Best modern prog bands?
Julian Anderson
Cameron Davis
gazpacho, big big train, cosmograf, mystery, steven wilson/porcupine tree, kevin moore/chroma key/osi, airbag/bjorn riis, anathema, crystal bright, tin spirits, karnataka,
Ryder Sullivan
Idk but definitely not King Gizzard
Cooper Lopez
>Kevin Moore
Hell yes. OSI and Chroma Key are so much better than any dream theater album past awake
Blake Miller
Haken
Tesseract
Periphery
Native construct
William Rivera
>At least use a detailed argument on exactly what qualifies as prog
Rock music written in the western classical idiom
> and why they arent.
because most Floyd is blues based.
Gavin Rogers
>They still experimented plenty post Barrett
not tonally they didn't, and that's what matters.
Benjamin Hernandez
>being a contrarian for contrarians sake
Real strong argument pal
Eli Edwards
you heard anything from his new patreon album?
youtube.com
Gabriel James
>tonally
What? As in sounds, scales, instruments? What do you mean
Cameron Taylor
Nice. Leaving dream theater was probably his best decision creatively
Julian Cook
Saying Floyd is prog is the contrarian opinion here, buddy. They ain't.
Daniel Smith
>They ain't
Aaron Perez
>Floyd is blues based.
You've never actually listened to the blues have you?
Grayson Morales
>jethro tull
more like regressive schlock
Ryder Robinson
Close to the Edge is the epitome of soulless wank.
Carter Price

Noah Adams
It's best work is on this record
Benjamin Bailey
are you sure about that?
Aaron Parker
Why are you spamming my old post in every prog thread?
Hudson Hernandez
got my hands on pic related and about to give it a spin. the cover art is great
Dominic Howard
Because people love concept albums! Seriously speaking I think that the album seems boring from a prog perspective but is actually a really comfy folk album and it's really good even if it fails as a prog album. You can't deny that Aqualung is cool as fuck.
Matthew Flores
Is this Rivers???
Jason Hernandez
buck dharma
Camden Baker
Mars Volta
Ryan Jackson
Can a Porg make Prog?
Luke James
I thought the same, until I've heard it again, and it clicked. Not a perfect album by any means, but it's fun as hell. 7/10
Angel Edwards
How can you honestly say that when Yessongs sounds like it was recorded on a potato?
Michael Gutierrez
greatest prog release ever coming through
also best prog artist of all time
Xavier Ross
What's your favorite prog album? Mine's pic related
Joshua Morales
has anyone listened to the new Eloy album? also what 70's prog bands have held up the best in the current era, I can't think of any bands other than Eloy. I saw King Crimson live this summer and they were dope but I can't see them putting anything new out soon.
Pic unrelated
Zachary Moore
I've only recently started getting into prog rock (The Mars Volta to be specific) and need some other bands. Can you recommend me some essential listens or your personal favourite bands or something?
Grayson Phillips
I haven't listened to the newer albums but didn't Yes release like 2-3 albums on this decade?
Sebastian Thomas
About to go on a long trip across the country. Anyone got some good 70s Prog albums similar to King Crimson, Camel, Gentle Giant, etc?
Eli Phillips
>Essentials from the big 6 of British Prog
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
Yes - Fragile
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy
>Other Essentials
Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant
Camel - Mirage
Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Rush - 2112
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Gong - Flying Teapot
Renaissance - Ashes are Burning
I didn't choose my favourites or what I thought were the best from those bands, but what I thought would make good introductions. And I'm biased towards classic prog, so branch out into modern stuff afterwards. Enjoy.
Ryder Perry
I tought that Pink Floyd was psychedelic rock.
Adrian Long
they did but they were all shit
Justin Perry
No such thing
Caleb Bell
I fucking hate punk so much
Oliver Rogers
Thanks alot, m8.
Oliver Richardson
If you like mars volta, go check out Yes first, you can hear that they were influential to TMV. Start with either Fragile or Close to the Edge
Ian Scott
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Nektar - Journey to the Center of the Eye
Eloy - Oceans
Caravan - If I Could Do It All Over Again,
I'd Do It All Over You
Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You
Chase Taylor
Experimental and art rock also work. Prog doesn't.
Gabriel Turner
...
Andrew Flores
Thanks boys
Oliver Ross
Traffic or some ELP
Jaxson Myers
Fuck off. They're prog, deal with it.
Luke Evans
One of the only modern prog bands that actually has the magic and doesn't sound like an overcooked noodle. Any other recs for modern prog that's actually good. (anything involving Steven Wilson is the opposite of what I'm looking for).
Christopher Cox
>Coheed and Cambria
Cooper Cook
Once and Future Band
Isaac Williams
I like Mars Volta, Liquid Tension and Gazpacho.
Kevin Clark
gazpacho - night
Mason Baker
