44 S.C.I.E.N.C.E - Incubus (2112firststreet)

 

Throwing a curveball here. While not as artsy fartsy as the other selections, they change musical styles on a dime in this album. When you can go from thrash metal to sounding like Steely Dan in one song, that's proggy as hell. This was way before they went soft with dopey chick flick love songs.

Fine. When the time is right, I am adding Nightwish, who more than qualify for this list if Incubus counts!

46. Endless Forms Most Beautiful- Nightwish

 

This has a 23 minute long beast of a song, entitled The Greatest Show On Earth. It also happens to be my favourite side long epic ever, enhanced further when I saw it performed live in its entirety last December.

47) Drama - Yes ( Lucas )

 

While Fragile may be my favorite, Drama is not far behind .. Even though it is a departure from their earlier, more adventurous albums, Drama holds a very very special place for me ..

 

It is one of the few albums that I am always in the mood to listen to - Machine Messiah thru Tempus Fugit

 

Another 10/10

Drama is underrated around here.

 

I don't even miss Jon Anderson on it. It has excellent artwork (one of my personal favourite Yes covers), and it just sounds like a Yes album.

 

No Jon Anderson, no Yes? Often that has proven to be true. But not with this album.

 

Still, I would rank it below all the seventies albums at this point. But you have encouraged me to listen to it again Lucas!

Heard Muse on the radio today in the car and it got me thinking: if Muse qualifies as prog then any band who releases epics should be :LOL:

48) In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson (jefeltner11)

 

Do I need an explanation? This album is a grandfather of the genre! Other King Crimson has been mentioned, but this one is the most important, in my opinion.

44 S.C.I.E.N.C.E - Incubus (2112firststreet)

 

Throwing a curveball here. While not as artsy fartsy as the other selections, they change musical styles on a dime in this album. When you can go from thrash metal to sounding like Steely Dan in one song, that's proggy as hell. This was way before they went soft with dopey chick flick love songs.

 

Incubus? Prog?

 

Fine. When the time is right, I am adding Nightwish, who more than qualify for this list if Incubus counts!

 

Heard Muse on the radio today in the car and it got me thinking: if Muse qualifies as prog then any band who releases epics should be :LOL:

 

Muse? Prog?

 

Bah, humbug!

 

But you make a valid point sir! (And one I an actually pleased to see take place...lots of great prog to be found in the most unlikely places).

As Blue J said, there's plenty of King Crimson albums that need to be on this list... Pretty much all of them!

The double trio was awesome and this album proved that the set up could translate into the studio. They decided to play some heavier songs with Belew here, and this style more or less became the one they'd undertake on the next two albums.

There are any number of Steve Hackett albums that I could have chosen, but his solo debut remains special due in part to the heavy involvement of the other members of Genesis. As always, Hackett's guitar work is sublime.

55) The Color Spectrum - The Dear Hunter (ReRushed)

 

I decided to add a contemporary Prog rock album - The Color Spectrum. It's a series of 9 EPs that are based on the color spectrum. It covers an impressive range of styles and genres with strong and impressive songwriting, arranging and performance. Truly progressive in its scope and ambition. There's also a single disc version that's a great introduction to a great underappreciated band.

Yeah but...

 

I generally dislike these kinds of threads because I don't care about dissecting music into a billion genres. What's the difference between prog rock, art rock, progressive music, and alternative music? Is a band like The Cure prog rock? Alternative music? Progressive music? Etc? When it's all said and done, I basically don't give a shit what someone labels something.

 

Besides, half of the albums here I don't care about and a quarter I've never even heard.

 

I just came by to put Thick As A Brick as high as I possibly could've. Mission accomplished.
