Progressive Rock

Recommended Posts

I like a bit of progressive rock here and there.

RUSH and DREAM THEATER are the first names that come to my mind, and the progressive bits in THE MARS VOLTA (mind you, this fantastic band cannot be labelled as progressive at all, IMO..Their music is too poliedric to be limited to one genre only)..

QUEENSRYCHE, one of my favorite groups of all time, was born like a heavy metal band, but I find there are many interesting "progressive" bits in their sound too, especially on their " Operation: Mindcrime". What a Masterpiece!

I think they put King Crimson in the opposite spot, they should be number one, and then Yes should be number 2. I've been meaning to get into Camel for a bit, surprised they'd be on there though.

I would included Van Der Graaf Generator, rather the Camel, personally

a personal favourtite: ozric tentacles, and a record called waterfall cities.

can be listened to on spotify.

this is the first track from waterfall cities, check out the drums at 6:00, incredible beat.

unless im wrong they use an odd time signature for the main part, i think it's in 17/16, before going into 4/4 time. then back into the original time signature...pure prog rock !

I wouldn't call them prog rock but that's just my opinion.

Whether they're prog or not, the Point of Know Return album is one of my all-time favorites.

I love almost every song on it! I love parts of Leftoverture, but not every track as I do PoKR.

They should get bonus points for the title "Release the Beavers"!

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Best song of the record.

Great that the track is finally back on youtube, since it got deleted some weeks ago.

The keyboards are very Floydish at times, but there is certainly a lot of CK vibe in this one as well.

(ps, the splattered vinyl version of this record is just beyond beautiful)
