just let it go man

>>127434203
These threads aren't a barometer on how successful prog is outside of /mu/, retard.

/mu/ is bullying us again
>>127427466

>>127434642
These threads pop up literally all the time. I legitimately don't give a fuck what the rest of this board thinks of /prog/. We're here to stay.

>>127435094
most of the rest of this board actually listens to Kpop, Hip-hop, wpop, indie throwaway shit, etc, actual garbage, they unironically like Brat because Fantano gave it a 10, they actually don't/can't enjoy or understand music, /mu/tards tend to have completely clueless opinions, they're probably mostly underage newfags/twitter immigrants, because /mu/ has always been the most normalfag-friendly board, so if /mu/ is shitting on something, that's a badge of honor more than anything, every other board has always known this.

>>127434642
What does useless even mean in relation to music

It's a great album and I'm tired of pretending it's not

I only discovered this band because I played Xenogears.

The swedish version is based for the superior vocals

It's easily their best post-Watershed album, has their best jazzy stuff too

I wish I could find any Gentle Giant at all at a record store.

does anyone here have a higher res version of this image? or at least point me to wherever hd extra album art is posted

not my favorite song by these guys but they're great

>>127447763
Eh, it's not really rapping.

TIL Rod Stewart was in a band with Peter Bardens (and Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green)

>>127448991

shit, pale communion is way better

serge fiori died. i didn't even know until yesterday :(

>>127451114
riparoni. harmonium is great. and their ability to create a song that encapsulates a fifth season is phenomenal

>>127448991
TYL Elton John was in a band with the Shulman brothers.

Recently discovered this album, it's pretty cool. Any other Eloy albums I should listen to? Never heard of them until a week or so ago

>>127454294
Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes

>>127454294
Listen to basically everything except their first album. Floating and Planets are my two favorites.

>>127454646
I used to have a cassette with Floating and Embryo's Steig aus. that was some nice driving music

>>127451343
He also auditioned to replace Greg Lake in KC

>>127454864
I drove 1.5 hours listening to Floating and Colours once, that was a damn good time.

>>127455799
Colours is one of my faves

Thoughts on Wobbler?

>>127455938
I've listened to them a while back. They're pretty good.

>>127455938
I can't stand the lead singer. The rest of the music is good but overrated. Rites at Dawn is a better Fragile than Fragile. It's also their only album that I enjoy.

We're a little over 3/4 through the year, how is 2025 treating you for prog?

another SxarpProg thread ruined by ChinoProgBots

>>127456555
Great, but I haven't heard anything released this year that really stuck a chord with me. Is the new IQ album good?
>>127457537
Meds

ppl are sleeping on 20th century slovak prog
check these artists out:
dezo ursiny (early albums are more recognizable but well done prog, rest of his discography is also good)
collegium musicum (great symphonic prog, also check out marian varga's collab album with pavol hammel)
modry efekt (varies from blues to symphonic big band prog, its all good though)
flamengo (one album, mostly short jazz-rock singles)
im promising you its all worth it

>LET ME FULFILL THY WILL
>NOT MINE BUT THINE

>>127456488
Rites is their safest album, you sound like a scrub

What Genesis songs give you the most feels? For me its 32 doors

>>127459434
Aisle of Plenty for me

Just bought Beggars Opera Act One, Waters of Change, and Pathfinder on vinyl from a German shop on Discogs. Act One first German press with a swirl, the other two early 70s represses with the spaceships. Haven't heard much of them yet but the snippets I did sound promising

U.K. - Carrying No Cross

What are your favorite "sometimes prog" bands?

>>127459173
Supper's Ready (only one to actually get me to cry)
For Absent Friends
Entangled's ending
The climax of Duke's Travels
In The Rapids (insanely underrated and one of Peter's best performances with the group IMO)

>>127459173
Counting Out Time

>>127459173

>>127447763
One of the least zeuhl-sounding songs ever posted in this general. A late 50's Max Roach album unironically has more zeuhl.

>>127457910
it's okay. better than resistance which isn't saying much

>>127461845
the album should have ended with that song

I sing It in the shower.

Are The Doors prog? I've been in a lot of prog circles as fan of the genre, and this album is constantly shilled.

>>127474758
Big influence on prog for sure. If one were to make a proto-prog chart this album or the debut would have to be on it.

>>127474758
They're circus music

>>127474758
proto-prog, like the Moody Blues and early Deep Purple

>>127474758
No.

Great bass on this album.

ELP is Karnevil music

It's not entirely progressive, but it does have some incredible porg passages.

>>127480881
Tony hated The Lamb

>>127474758
I'm listening to this now. It's certainly very proto-prog oriented. Their first album was much better, imo.

Songs From the Wood has something for every season

>>127495639
nta but I always associated it with Autumn, maybe just because of the album cover. I guess it does have a Christmas song on there tho

>>127495639
Yeah, but the general feel I get for Songs in the Wood is predominately autumn-esque.

>>127495371
>England - Garden Shed
Yellow is a perfect song for a cool autumn stroll.
