I cant guess what band that is

>>126742376
Yellow Magic Orchestra

>>126742376
Pretty sure it's Moody Blues.
Anyway, new Discipline album in August. Get hype.

God I love the simpletons

I like Between the Buried and Me. Particularly The Parallax part 1.

>>126742371
Yes

>>126745221
fucking tight EP

>>126742348 (OP)
The best neo-prog album of all time just turned 40

Trust me it's better than that cheesy cover

>>126748989
for me, it's

>>126711419
I'm not a Putin apologists and I think Waters is a campist retard for picking the America-bad side by default on Ukraine (even if he's obviously absolutely right about Isr*el), but Redux isn't a bad album at all, it's a lot less prog and a lot more art rock and that's fine, I really appreciate the texture he gave to a lot of the songs. Some are kinda meh, but I do think that the synth-adorned acoustic arrangements really fit lyrics like Time and Brain Damage.

Also, I'd hapily take someone with American diabolist politics who lacks some nuance here and there over the median cucked American celebrity who will just default to whatever the Overton window allows them to express a given day, it takes balls for Roger Waters to turn his Instagram feed into daily angry schizoposting about his hatred for Israel, and frankly, you gotta respect that grind. Like or hate the man, he certainly has principles, which is more than you can say for people like Yorke and Steven Wilson.

>>126749224
Does anyone even think about the second half of Tarkus when they talk about Tarkus anyways? It's always been one of my favorite albums and yet I literally never even

>>126749247
>and yet I literally never even
* never even consider the existence of the second side when thinking about it, I meant to say, oops.

>>126749224
growing up is realising ELP sold out immediately after the first album

>>126749247
not reading
no one cares
keep your /pol/bait where it belongs

>>126749635
It was the other anon who brought it up, anon! I also didn't want to bring politics into /prog/ but I wanted to provide some kind of response.

>>126748989
Very inconsistent quality desu, I love some of the tracks (Blind Curve is a masterpiece) but a lot of it also feels like complete 80s pop slop

>>126748989
>>126749664
I also want to say that Kayleigh is one of my favorite tracks, despite being the most annoyingly overplayed one from their discography. For a pop love song, the lyrics are surprisingly very beautiful and well-made.

>>126748989
Clutching at Straws is better

>>126749680
Fish is one of the most underrated prog lyricists

>>126749309

>>126749309
people don't just turn 23 and stop growing up

ELP is goyslop.
Even ELP themselves hates themselves.

>>126750625
ELP is fun

>>126750639
No

>>126750639
Love Beach is kino

>>126751821
Yes

>>126751920
Was is not a musician

love this album art, and prog album art in general

>>126742348 (OP)
does Tool's 'Fear Inoculum' count as progressive metal or progressive rock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLQwVdcctvQ

Eternal Rains Will Come is so good. Too bad the rest of the album is really boring

>>126750639
>>126751821
>>126751906
The 90s revival albums were infinitely worse. Love Beach is a low point in ELP's discography but it was made by good musicians at a time when standards were much higher so calling it shit would be actual lunacy.

>>126742348 (OP)
The Moody Blues aren’t true prog. They’re late stage psychedelic rock. Just like Jethro Tull and Gentle Giant.

>>126752881
shut the FUCK UP

I am once again asking for a photograph of Greg Lake's penis

>>126752881
Please, anon, I only have so many (You)s to go around

Fripp...

>>126752617
Both. Doesn't mean it's good.

just dropping ny with the greatest Finnish prog album
one of the best LP B-sides ever, all bangers

How did Tony make the best prog album all by himself?

>>126749224
Side B was originally going to be a studio re-recording of the Pictures suite. It would've propelled them into a "serious band" status even if they were the Nickleback of prog, even then.

>>126755715
Styx was the Nickelback of prog

>>126752658
agree it is boring. i don't know why Opeth fans suck it off so much. this one's way better

>>126755715
>Side B was originally going to be a studio re-recording of the Pictures suite
Why'd that fall through?

>>126759422
They didnt wanted to be a one trick pony

>>126754534
Tony himself says Foxtrot is better.

>>126762316
Artists always have the worst opinions of their own music. Their best is actually Lamb btw.

>>126762316
Cause selling England has too much Steve Hackett

Was it a good cover?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4W7TVaFc6c

Collins getting humbled
https://youtu.be/pZXydEKpLP4

>>126752881
you could kind of make this argument about The Moody Blues and Jethro Tull, but Gentle Giant? they are the definition of prog.

>>126742467
I'm very hype. I'm going to see them live. I've been meaning to for years, but I checked their tour dates like a month or two after the last time they played.

Insane how good We Can't Dance is, my favorite Genesis album along with Duke

>>126764874
No Son of Mine and Driving the Last Spike have some of the best lyrics Phil Collins ever wrote and the latter is a top 10 Genesis tune unironically. Jesus He Knows Me is fun too.

Hackett won.

>>126764920
50 years later he's still bitter and whiny and having to be carried by his musical friends.

>>126765209
At least he has friends

>>126764920
you know like in mid 2000s he wanted to release albums but he kept facing 'legal problems' and it turned out it was because he was just getting a divorce and his wife was pretty involved with his music company. well this is already known in wikipedia
the spicier things though I used to visit some hackett-related website and there's this dude spamming comments about how he really forced his ex-wife to just give up the case, in all caps too. I don't know where it is now but it was hilarious to read.

>>126765209

Peter and Phil agree. There goes your theory.

Actually only my opinion matters.

prog for this feel? I've already listened to Red

An entry from Fripp's diary...

13.15

Hotel Professionally Acceptable, Quebec.

We arrived at the hotel around 10.45, dribbling gently.

The hotel suggested it is a 5-minute walk from the gate of the old city. In this weather, with slippy streets & a cruelly biting wind, I'm not trusting the information. And the hotel operator tells me that AOL is not available from this hotel. Experienced English travelers will immediately recognise this misinformation as a Gallic plot to prevent the further dissemination of the English language. Tour Manager MJK has just gone on line with AOL, to prove the lie. Bite on that, garlic-chewing snail suckers!

>>126750625
late ELP yes
early ELP is pretty good, not amazing, basically a budget Gentle Giant.

>The sands of time were eroded by the river of constant change
Brutally mogged by Rog
>And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Pick one

>>126770196
easy, i only like Opeth. steven wilson is good but a lot of his stuff bores me and devin does absolutely nothing for me

>>126770196
Steven > Mikael > Devin

>>126770196
Kill all

>>126769603
ELP peaked in 1970–71. Starting with Trilogy the egos and creative directions of the members got too divergent. Keith wanted to do more neoclassical synth wank, Greg wanted to do more acoustic ballads and Carl wanted to do more drum solos.

Yeah, that's the stuff

>>126770196
Steven

Peter or Phil?

>>126772248
Based
Feels good to me!

>>126772904
no hair to be seen

>>126773069
No hair of mine

What should I listen to if my favorite Opeth songs are To Bid You Farewell, Face of Melinda, Harvest and most of Damnation?

can't stop listening to it

>>126770196
Devin Townsend is the only one of those three who has made at least 30 minutes of music I enjoy. Steven Wilson has a couple songs I like. Opeth is complete trash.

>>126773786
What's your favourite Devy album?

>>126773782
this but with tcol

>>126773810
Empath > Ziltoid > Terria >> Epicloud > Z2 > Lightwork > Powernerd

I'm not familiar with anything else. I saw him live last month and he seemed really genuinely nice. He also had a great energy on stage.

>>126773782
This thing is as bad as it's album cover

>>126773862
I'm surprised someone ranks Emapth first
You should definitely check Ocean Machine Biomech or Terria, those are often considered his best
I also saw him once and he was pretty good
Also he's gonna be taking a break from touring for a while so he wants to take some rest

>>126772248
stop playing with the demon core bill

>>126765945
What was the last Dream Theater album that knew how to groove? Falling into Infinity?

Enjoying some djenty prog metal, it's better than my description implies.

>>126773864
So it's good

>>126764920
Jews always come out on top

I wonder if Iggy would have been an interesting collaborator with Fripp
I could picture him somewhere on Exposure

>>126774286
What a well rounded post by Steve.
Tony could never.

>>126773895
Nta and not the biggest Empath fan either but I've seen many people rank it as one of their favorites, sometimes even number 1

>>126770196
Akerfeldt wins overall easily, but Devin is objectively the best singer out of the three by far. I like Steven but he has the smallest bags of tricks out of the three.

>>126752658
I don't really like any song off this album
>>126756562
This one is definitely better

>>126774485
Yeah Steven is one of the most average vocalists in rock

>>126774286
Let's skip the news boy
I'll go and make some tea
The Arabs and Jews boy
Too much for me
They get me confused boy
Puts me off to sleep

>>126771897
>Keith wanted to do more neoclassical synth wank, Greg wanted to do more acoustic ballads
Having listened to Honky and Greg Lake I'm not really sure if that was the case at the time.

>>126770196
Someone is missing

Why did /prog/ die again

>>126774811
Lack of Magma and Megumin posting

my favorite got a reissue not long ago and it had some nice revisited remixes and stuff, it's pretty nice
https://files.catbox.moe/s7p5r4.mp3

>>126774811
Whore posting
It's no surprise the whore is also a Steve Wilson faggot.

My favorite prog rap album.

>>126776116
The 21stCSM sample is so out of place it annoys me

Too poppy too stupid

>>126776116
>Kanye West sampled the bridge from "You Are, I Am" for the track "So Appalled" from West's 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Manfred Mann adapted this recording into his own track "One Hand in the Air" on his 2014 album Lone Arranger.

>>126776721
kino album, and better neoprog than most neoprog bands in fact

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RRe40O6QKU
Only in the 70's could they produce such kino..

>>126773976
i'd say Train of Thought.

>>126774811
unwillingness to fully accept prog metal

any good summery prog?

>>126776736
He also sampled Mike Oldfield on one song

>>126775604
Magumin

>>126779856
yeah no shit, Red is a sequel to Starless and Bible Black, in fact Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Starless And Bible Black & Red are a concept album trilogy.

>>126780236
How am I supposed to know that you stupid fucking faggot

>>126780267
hey fuck you faggot

no they are not

uh, actually yes they are, trust me retard.

I love Providence. I'm sorry but I had to come out and say it!

>>126781248
what happened to tim

>>126781270
Think he got sectioned a few years ago and his old stuff got wiped, he had a fall some time ago and was in hospital for a while, now he keeps faking having more falls whenever he gets discharged, just for the cushy hospital care. He's relatively less schizo than the old days

Gentle Giant is so good even negroes like it

Ripples never come back

>>126774341
Tony has too much class to comment on geopolitics. He knows his place is that of a musician and not a political pundit. If he has something to say, he lets his music do the talking. Steve could learn a thing or two from him.

>>126776116
not music

>>126781533
hahaha good one hahahahaha

>>126781449
real respects real

>>126782306
That's one huge record jacket

>>126782508
maybe bill is just very small

>>126776721
Tony's favorite Genesis album. Seriously.

I am somewhat new to prog, I have been loving old gabriel era genesis since I was a kid and exploring from that, been listening to opeth and porcupine tree recently and that kind of scratched an itch. Then I stumbled upon the raven that refused to sing album from steven wilson and was absolutely blown away, and I still am. It's wonderful. Especially the title track just has this haunting beauty to it.

>>126782659
what are your thoughts on Discipline by King Crimson

>>126782688
Will listen to that now, thanks!

>>126782659
The best contemporary prog bands are Wobbler and Anglagard, you will probably like them a lot. You may also like Steven Wilson's Grace for Drowning since you liked Raven

>>126781403
>prog sample in rap
For me it's Magma being sampled by Death Grips
https://youtu.be/HtbAgynP8iY?t=17

Thought it was hilariously bizarre at first
Then I learned Zach Hill has a really extensive history playing prog rock/"brutal prog" before Death Grips.

>>126784464
wrong timestamp, correct timestamp is 0:28

>>126784464
death grips is just brutal prog with a black guy screaming and rapping over it

>>126782709
it takes time

>Initially, Tony Banks, keyboardist for the band Genesis, was commissioned to do the soundtrack for the film. However, Banks' material was rejected
Will we ever get to hear it?

Best thing Tony ever did was the intro to Firth of Fifth.
His solo stuff is slop.

>>126784479
Would Fripp run for his life if someone throws him a glowstick? (I know the answer but I'm asking anyway)

>>126782659
hey newfren. sounds like you're drawn to the darker more melancholic side of prog and are already into Opeth. perhaps some prog metal is right for you. here's a good proggy Opeth clone

small looking john

>>126787126
he looks like a mushroom

>>126752510
The album itself is pretty good too.

>>126790128
Richard Wright looks so different unshaven

>>126787126
>>126790282
why did they vote david cross out, was he a dickhead?

>>126791430
i think he chose to leave himself; from what i've read it was due to just the sheer volume that the rest of the band played at, it was getting harder to hear himself on stage

>>126791443
Also he barely got to play violin anymore as Fripp made him the band keyboardist holding down the mellotron parts and doubling the guitar with an electric piano through a distortion box

>>126791483
was Fripp... jealous?

>>126791430
Fripp is a big enough dickhead

>>126791483
Someone had to do it

>>126791488
Fripp did nothing wrong, the violin sounded kind of cool on like two songs whereas the keyboard stuff is pretty essential to the arrangements

it's over for Belew when I catch him, shouldn't have wrote those shitty lyrics

>>126742348 (OP)
what episode?

>>126791668
>she sleeps in a chair in her sad america
What did he mean by this?

>>126791922
>“Matte Kudasai” (待ってください, lit. ‘please wait’ in Japanese) describes a lover pining and waiting for someone, seemingly overseas, to come home. With the Japanese & American theming, this is similar to Madame Butterfly, an opera about a U.S. naval officer who marries a Japanese girl and leaves shortly after their wedding, leaving her to wait three years for him to come back, committing suicide after she finds out he has remarried.
