/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

Try some Canterbury prog. Soft Machine, Caravan, Henry Cow, Gong, National Health, Egg, Nucleus, etc.

implying you will find anythig similar

http://soundcloud.com/bluemammoth/
Something I just found which has a great sound

>>30091857

>Nothing similar to Gryphon
>Clearly unfamiliar with canterbury.

Not samefag, but come on, Gryphon is far from unique.

>>30091859

Blue Mammoth reminded me more of Genesis, but I thought they debuted already?

>>30091857
Gryphon isn't really terribly unique, dude.

Gentle Giant have a lot less piano, but you'll probably like them, I can hear a definite similarity. Try The Power and the Glory.

>>30091797
Prog to this =D. Little known badass band.

Anyone got some good Avant Prog? That's the only prog I can really get into these days.

>>30091915
Fuuuuuuuuuuu my bad
http://youtu.be/BgQpQHdvI48
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

>>30091927
A dickload, but I'm not sharing because fuck you.

>>30091915
Diagonal are pretty cool. I think they recently put out a new album, but I haven't gotten around to downloading it yet.

>>30091927
Seconding this, love the fuck out of Univers Zero and would love more like it.

Not really similar but reminds me of gryphon

did someone say prog?

anyone got a chart on YES? Seems like too many bands to choose from

>>30091975
If you've actually done your research, you'd know what movement Univers Zero came from and what the other bands in that movement are.

Samla Mammas Manna is hands-down the best from that very movement. Fuck your pleb shit.

>>30091986
>mfw bydlo owns 12 prog rock records and thinks that's impressive

>>30091986

Why can't I hold all this entry level.

>>30091999
>Implying anybody in this thread doesn't know what RIO is
keep thinking you're patrish, Samla, Henry Cow the list could go on...

>>30091998
Do you mean something along the lines of this? I made this quite a while ago and probably need to tweak some of the ratings, but I'm sure my general opinions are still the same.

>>30092035
>mfw at least 85% of /mu/ has no idea what RIO is

>>30092051
E2-E4 wins by five miles

i fucking hating prog

>>30091986
I have Relayer on record too.

>>30092035
>implying rio is at all obscure

>>30091998
Close To The Edge, Fragile, The Yes Album.

>>30091986
I dont recall, what's the skull album?

>>30092037
Okay, wow, yeah, I actually need to adjust my ratings more than I thought. Probably should've looked at the pic before posting

Start with Close to the Edge, absolutely. Then go to Fragile and The Yes Album.

Relayer's pretty good, as is Tales from Topographic Oceans. Then check out the remainder of their pre-90125 stuff in any order you want (except Tormato; just skip that)

90125 through Union doesn't have too much to offer. Talk is a pretty underrated album, and I'm also pretty fonf of The Ladder and Magnification

>>30092006
actually I have like 50 but how the fuck do I take a pic of all of those
>>30092019
this is when I started my collection like a year ago, it infact is very entry level.

That was such a bad album.

>people thinking Yes is good
I bet you like Rush too

>>30092060
But you're in a prog thread. Of course people are going to be more familiar with it here than in most threads.

>>30092122
>mfw prog untermensch owns 50 prog rock records and thinks that's impressive

Does anyone like any modern prog? I enjoy Steven Wilson's work quite a bit, and some prog metal such as Opeth, but a lot of it is too tribute-band for my taste.

ok since

>>30091797
>>30091976

here's the superior album

>>30091797
>geetah music

>>30092200
>I enjoy Steven Wilson's work quite a bit
>Opeth

another masterpiece

>>30092200
I'm a fan of Steven Wilson and his work with Porcupine Tree, and most of Opeth's stuff is enjoyable at least.

Phideaux are pretty good, and I'm also quite fond of The Dark Third by Pure Reason Revolution.

Beardfish's new album is a lot less 70s-worship than previous works and includes a few metal tracks. Zechs Marquise are also pretty cool.

>>30092222
damn, why don't I ever get quads?

>>30092222
Is that monkey going to die anytime soon?

>>30092274
>Orangutan
>Monkey

Someone's obviously never seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

>>30092274
orangutans are apes just like you and me and all other humans, fucking educate yourself

>tfw none of you listen to shitty Norwegian Beatles rip-offs with lyrics in broken English
I'm so indie.

>>30092060
it's a city in brazil, you dingus

>>30092310
I've never heard them, but The Beatles were hardly prog, so I wouldn't think Beatles ripoffs would belong in a prog thread.

But I do have German prog sung in broken English

>>30092355

>>30092366
I bought it off the definitive source of progressive rock reissues in Sweden and got this junk. It cost fucking $50, too.

well hello lads...

Prog folk, Rick Wakeman on keyboards

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLst-KRCYM0

>>30092366
the beatles invented prog by the way

>>30092454
lolno

>>30092454
You've never heard of the Moody Blues I guess?

>>30092450
Grave New World is another good album from Strawbs
>>30092454
I wouldn't go so far as to say that. I'd say The Moody Blues played a much bigger role than The Beatles.

>>30092463
that album is like a dr seuss movie

>>30092231
Mah nigga.
Progressivo master race.

>>30092482
i know, it's fucking awesome

>>30092463
>>30092474
>>30092477
wow, crazy moodly blues mind

>>30092454
>Moody Blues
>The Mothers of Invention
>Procol Harum

This guy.

>>30092489
Aside from Darwin!, BDMS never held the biggest appeal to me. I'm quite fond of Le Orme, though

>>30092463
revolver came out in 1966, thanks for playing

>>30092463
But admit, it's a horrible album. You have these symphonic pieces and suddenly, some fucking merseybeat-like thing with a completely different theme and structure appears

>>30092513

>revolver
>prog rock

tomorrow never knows is psychedelic rock.

>>30092513
But Revolver isn't prog. It's more psychedelic pop rock than anything else

>>30092513
>>30092507
>Freak Out! came out in March 1966
>Revolver wasn't even a concept album

>>30092521
it's cheesy as fuck but i love it man. i like the contrast between the symphonic stuff and the poppier stuff.

>implying SORNE didn't invent prog rock.

thank you based SORNE

>>30092477
Witchwood > Dragonfly = Sandy and the Strawbs > Grave New World = Strawbs > Ghosts > Antiques and Curios = Hero and Heroine > Bursting at the Seams >>>>>>> all that late 70s crap

imo
also Two Weeks Last Summer and Old School songs would slot into that list p high up.

>>30092561
But concept albums aren't necessarily prog. Declaring The Mothers prog simply because they put out a concept album is a weak claim at best. The music bears little resemblance to what we now know as progressive rock. Zappa's proggy stuff wasn't put out until he'd disbanded The Mothers. (But then agains, I won't delve too much into this; I'm hardly a Zappa expert)
>>30092563
Agreed.

>>30092613
eh, the last two songs on Freak Out! are arguably prog rock.

Just posting the best symphonic prog album ever

>>30092657
agree.... Relayer >>> CTTE

>>30092638
It's still a weak argument, nonetheless. Especially when compared to something like Days of Future Passed.
>>30092657
Lolno. Also, "symphonic prog"? Are you using that horrid system Prog Archives uses?

>>30092657
shit guys, posted the wrong picture.

i think we all can agree everything after pic related was shit.

>>30092676
SOmething from Genesis is your favourite I guess?

>>30092699
B-but Yessongs and Drama

>>30092728
Actually, no. Thick as a Brick is my personal favorite prog album, with Close to the Edge being my favorite Yes album. And both rank above my favorite Genesis album, Selling England by the Pound.

>>30092699
It's a great record, but Relayer is by far more adventurous and original than CTTE

>>30092758
>Thick as a Brick
>prog

>>30092758
>not posting the best.

>>30092780

>you
>not trolling

>>30092699
shit guys, posted the wrong picture.

i think we can all agree all other symphonic prog records are shit.

>>30092781
>implying

>>30092780
What would you call it, then?
>>30092781
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite fond of that album. It's just that there are other albums that I like more than it

>>30092807
Saying this is symphonic prog? no way

>>30092781
this album is boring as fuck, never got why its so popular on this board

>>30092833
because it's boring as fuck

>>30092833
Because it's a little weird, and people here like to feel special.

(Plus some people actually enjoy it, you know)

>>30092814
Slightly inspired blues rock

>>30092858
yeah I guess some enjoy this I just get so bored with it, nothing exiting is going on.

Best KC album

>>30092866

>>30092813
The best KC records. Period.

>>30092780

>>30092892
The Night Watch, Trio and Fracture are great,but overall it's kinda meh

>>30092780
>le triker face

>>30092894
Oh god, Islands was such a fucking snoozefest. It's definitely their weakest pre-80s release
>>30092917
I agree with you. I saw this album hyped to no end online, and when I finally gave it a listen, I just thought it was alright.

>>30092948
Bitch I'll fight you.

>>30092970
Being that fan of prog that Iam, I'm not used to being outdoors, and my body has atrophied from all the hours spent listening to massive, pretentious suites. So I'll pass.

>>30092892
I'd say larks tongues is slightly better but this is great

>>30092948
C'mon, the first three tracks just catch that mediterranean vibe in such a perfect way. Song of the Gulls is the best pseudo-classsical prelude I've ever heard, and then Islands. God, I want that song at my funeral. That outro with the beautiful sax solo is just majestic

>>30092948
islands is an amazing album, so is Starless and bible black, I hope you die a slow painful death.

>>30092996
>Being that fan of prog that Iam

>>30092948
>Islands was such a fucking snoozefest

Its their best lyrical album, flows like a charm, and its so well organized.

IMPALED ON NAILS OF ICEssss

>>30093043
wow

>>30092833
>>30092833
>uses mythology in a perfect sense
>builds up a story like an epic poetry

also its still Vangelis best work.

>>30093043
Are you criticizing my typo? Or what? I was making a joke. Lighten up, dude.
>>30093046
Well, the thing is, I don't give a shit about lyrics 90+% of the time. And just because it's organized well, that doesn't make it noteworthy. With a few exceptions here and there, the album just sorta drags on and on for me.

>>30093085
but the music itself is boring, nothing exiting is happening.

>>30093091
what ever floats your boat bro

oh hey don't mind me. just being the best prog album of all time.

>>30093179
Whoops wrong image

Chart 1/2

>>30093202
Chart 2/2

>>30093014
>sax

Islands is fantastic though, best KC album, on-par with their debut.

as far as underrated prog albums go, Can's Soon Over Babaluma is fantastic and should be heard by everyone

>>30093179
You mean second best, scruffy.

Also, I can't fucking stand Robert Wyatt's voice. It ruins the first half of Moon in June for me.

>>30093191
Oh, nevermind. While not the best, imo, certainly deserves to be included in the discussion, that's one of the greatest albums ever.

>>30093233
>Crest of a Knave
>Essential in any way, shape, or form

One of my favourites.

>>30093191
>wrong both times

Surprised nobody mentioned this yet.
Very simmilar to Gryphon, albeit more to stuff like their s/t or Midnight Mushrumps

>>30093179
its ok

>>30093278

Lol, I know. I didn't make the chart though.

Anyway, pic related is an album you all should listen to.

>>30093233
This list is plain wrong.

>>30093303
Fuck, forgot image

>>30093179
Most boring album ITT

>>30093284
Their subsequent albums were much better, especially In a Glass House and Acquiring the Taste

sure is pleb in heare

>>30093202
>>30093233
>genesis
I didn't know /mu/'s taste was so bad

>>30093346
they were good before Phil Gabriel left

>>30093331
I sort of agree but since their debut was the first I heard of them I am nostalgic and love it because of that.

Pic related was the second I heard and I love that too.

>>30093346
>Not acknowledging the glory of Trespass through The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

>>30093362
No

>>30093346
>Implying Genesis 70's records are bad.
Go listen to Selling England By The Pound and be flabbergasted.

>>30093375
>being a pleb

>>30093346
>implying this isn't one of the best prog albums ever

>>30093362

>>30093385
>>30093388
>implying i haven't listened to it
>implying it's even worth a second listen, never mind worth being mentioned in any kind of essentials chart

More stuff you all really should check out.

>>30093388
it isn't

>>30093369
I started with Three Friends and then went onto Acquiring the Taste. The Power and the Glory was the last one of theirs I listened to, and I was honestly (relatively) unimpressed. It sounded like they were trying really hard, but it just came off as muddled and middling.

>>30093362
They were good after Gabriel left too

what is your opinion?

Look at all you old faggots, this here is real prog.

>>30093428
p good

>>30093416
maybe music is'nt for you

>>30093431
wait a second are you trying to trick me

>>30093341
you can get your trip back on.

>>30093439
Maybe good taste isn't for you

>>30093428
Okay. Not spectacular, but alright

>>30093428
bretty gud 9.5/10

Another good Italian prog album from one of those bands that only released one album. Great stuff.

>>30093428
Why Don't You Eat Carrots is one of the best songs of all time. Meadow Meal is p good but Miss Fortune is boring.

>>30093428

I like it.

>>30093428

>>30093489
le quin vs thes pixies? dont understand


btw /mu/, do you think is worth to listen post 80s prog rock albums?

>>30093488
They put out a second. I can't recall what it was called, but they did put one out. It was okay, but when my hard drive died about a year and a half ago, I just never bothered redownloading it.

>>30093531
>do you think is worth to listen post 80s prog rock albums
no

>>30093527
Cardiacs, grossly underrated prog rock group.

>>30093531
There have been some good ones, but just as in any era, there's also a lot of shit.

>>30093543
So do I, but maybe there are interesting gems out there

>>30093536

You're right! There's a second one. I have been mislead! Was it any good?

More good Italian stuff.

>>30091986
>ELP

le shiggy

>>30093543
what about that Magma album from early 00s? that was really good.

>>30093576
It certainly wasn't bad. Just not anything particularly memorable. Pic related is my personal favorite Italian prog album

>>30093531
There's lots of good stuff out there. Personally I like this album.

>>30092781
I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS I AM I WAS I AM TO COME I WAS

Magma has had a couple good albums from this decade. The newest one was kind of lackluster, though.

>>30093624
>tfw i've masturbated to that song

what is the best prog metal album of all time?

>>30093593
Magma have been very consistently good since their reunion. In fact, I prefer it to their 70s stuff

>>30093639
inb4 hate

>>30093639

>>30093639

I'd love to find more like the following:

The Dear Hunter
Art By Numbers
Protest the Hero
The Mars Volta
Phideaux

Any suggestions?

>>30093670
This is another album I *really* didn't get the hype for

>>30093719
It's so well crafted, the songs flow incredibly well, excellent vocal delivery, no wankery to speak of yet still a decent amount of technicality. Excellent all round.

>>30093680

>Protest the Hero

Between the Buried and Me. In fact, PTH is pretty much a "lite" version of them.

>>30092037
This is better.

Anyone else heard this album? Excellent stuff.
