"Well, there are people that listen to music taking it as an intellectual exercise. Not me, by no means I'll take it that way, I'd rather a good chess match for that."

Yes there are those people. ...

:O FUN? How dare you say listening to music might be fun. On that note, I totally agree with you. If I can't have fun listening to music, then why listen?

"Let's get things in perspective here - there is more variety in one Tame Impala album than in AC/DC's entire catalogue. "

I'll second that motion for the 100% truth of the motion. :cool

I learned about Snarky Puppy on this site. Unless I missed it I will mention them. Snarky Puppy!!!

I enjoy Tame Impala, Pond, Dungen and Melody's Echo Chamber. Great late afternoon chill music. No psychedelics for me either. Too old for that stuff. And just to give you youngsters out there a...

I understand what you mean. It took awhile for me to get into this band many moons ago. But something finally clicked you might say and have been on board since. I started with Alaska when it...

You are missing something and yes I will explain. The band is Between the Buried and Me. According to PA they fall in the sub-genre of Tech/Extreme Prog Metal. Their latest release, which came out...

Agreed on both. The new BTBAM arrived today in my mailbox. This is fantastic. Their best yet? I'm thinking a resounding yes!! Imho... :horns

Well Jack and Bob, it seems we basically agree on most everything. I do agree Opeth and Porcupine Tree sound nothing like Yes and Genesis. And PT sounding different from one song to the next is one...

Well, I don't agree with your premise of only 3 "prog" albums to their credit. Every album they have put out has "prog" in their music. PA has them listed as Tech/Extreme Prog Metal. Just because...

Opeth
Yes
King Crimson
Pink Floyd
Porcupine Tree

Honorable Mention:
Snarky Puppy
Jethro Tull
Dream Theater

^ Nice stuff. I see it's download or cdr only. No biggy for me. Reminds me a bit of Loscil in parts. Fan of Loscil so that's a good thing. :) Thanks!

Thank you as well. I'll have look those up. A few months ago I picked up "Slope" by Jansen. Three disc set from Burning Shed. Good stuff on that too.

Liked it when it first came and and still like it today. I think what has helped keep this fresh for me is I don't listen to "Classic" rock radio. Which was already mentioned as basically playing a...

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Or mine to be specific. This is great stuff! :up

I neglected adding Opeth into the mix. My bad! Ghost of Predition, The Moor, Blackwater Park, Baying of the Hounds and a few more but, I don't want to let on that I'm a fanboy of this band. :D |)

I must go with this one as well. The very first PROGressive Heavy Metal song. I played this for my son when he was about 14 now 21. He said, "Is this a new band Dad?" Winner hands down!!! :horns

Snarky Puppy. The bee's knees!! :cool :ipa

:up + 2! Never heard of them until now. WOW! WOW! WOW! Thanks for sharing. :D

I like TPE! Have all the albums. "Sunstone" is on the way to becoming my favorite as well.

Hammock
Carbon Based Lifeforms
Loscil
Solar Fields
Near the Parenthesis
Ulrich...

Flim & the BB's. Especially the first four. Tricycle, Tunnel, Big Notes and Neon.

Ok. Go for it. I would rather spend my time listening than comparing. But, that's just me. If however, one is comparing two performances of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, I would be down for that. |)

Another vote for there is no comparing these albums. I have them both and enjoy them both. But, they are two different beasts. :horns

I just read somewhere that metal is an impurity to progressive rock. That person and the poster could be BFF's...:rofl

My two cents... I am 60 and of course 70's "prog" is what I listened to back in the day. Why else would I be on this forum, read posts, and occasionally post. Also I get GREAT info for new music....

Downloaded. Thanks! Great stuff!! :horns

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat. :geezer

I really enjoy the Colossus Project's stuff. You get a story with a bunch of different bands and artists. For example, The Colossus of Rhodes, Odyssey, The Divine Comedy, (this has parts 1-3 with...

Exactly! I enjoyed this final album better than I thought I would. A good pair of cans makes it even better. I experienced the melting sensation as well. :cool

This is the first Flower Kings album I bought when I found out about the band. "Stardust" is my favorite but this is definitely in the top five on my TFK's list. A great listening experience...

It' more like Norway here than the Midwest. So, here is my contribution...

Actually, I like both. I don't mind religious or spiritual themes. As long as it's not the in your face or the worship happy clappy stuff. I'm a sucker for fantasy and sci-fi. I enjoy getting...

[QUOTE=3LockBox;239238]...because an epic would've made all the difference in liking/disliking the new Asia? Yes has a long list of non-epic length tracks that I like and a few epics I could do...

What? No epic! :yell OUCH! This better not be a load of crap like the new Asia. Sorry to the ones who like it. But, I tried and can't stand it. :down

A few years ago I discovered a fantastic 6CD box set of the Brandenburg Concertos one on each disc along with other assorted concertos. Some you rarely hear played. The ensemble doing the work is...

Grateful Dead - Everything live over studio.

I've been thinking about adding Brilliant Corners. So maybe 54 in a few days. :ipa

I'm sorry but I have a tie for one to post. So it's the same as one. ;)

Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing
Haken - Mountain

Agreed! :horns

Growwwwls---Mikael Akerfeldt = Dan Swano

Wagner's book is great! His book said Kansas was one of the earliest bands to merge prog rock and heavy metal. I think the song "21st Century Schizoid Man" was a starting point too. Plus Deep...

When it comes to metal no wading allowed! Dive into the deep end and "soak" it all in. NO FEAR!!
I too suggest Opeth.
