They have one album out (self titled) and its sounds pretty retro. Its all sung in Italian like the classic Italian bands but musically they're very good. I've only listened to their album once so I don't really remember what songs I liked but here are some links. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw4pSANaBJg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z59KY48e8Ik&feature=related Aha! I love this! This absolutely captures 70's Italian prog, and apparently it features the lead vocalist from Museo Rosenbach - wow, who would have thought someone that's been around that long could still sing as well as he used to! Very cool, and thanks so much! This one definitely goes on the want list. Glad you liked it! I'm not too familiar with Italian prog but I picked this one up since I'm seeing them at NEARfest. Oh dude, than let me introduce you to two of the best Italian prog songs of all time: Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - Canto Nomade Per Un Prigioniero Politico : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WsrnA0w45E - that link is the entire album, but the song is from 0:00 to 15:47 Premiata Forneria Marconi -- Appena Un Po' : I have Io Sono Nato Libero and I like it a lot. Also, I'm, familiar with the PFM album L'Isola Di Niente. I'm listening to your link right now, and I like it a lot. On an off topic note, you simply need the classics cold fire. Get Darwin, Aprna un po, and felona e sorona. There's so many albums I need to get! Oops, I meant per un amico, and I spelled that wrong. I meant appena un po, but that's the song, and a brilliant one at that, that part around four minutes in is bliss,

What Maudlin of the Well did you hear? I'm wondering still, which song did you hear? I don't get how anyone cannot love this:

QUOTE (Good,bad,andrush @ Apr 18 2012, 10:08 AM) Depending on the PT stuff you like, you might absolutely love No-Man. Try their beautiful song Things I Want to Tell You. You might also like Sigur Ros, absolutely beautiful post-rock. Okay, my last recommendation! The latest Opeth album. Pure retro prog, not a single growl or hell even metal moment. No-Man-Things I Want to Tell You Opeth-Hours of Wealth (GIVE IT A SHOT!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTcCpsa4Plw

QUOTE (Good,bad,andrush @ Apr 18 2012, 10:05 AM) A Perfect Circle is a less metal more ambient/poppy version of Tool, try that. Maybe try This Town Needs Guns and Tera Melos, delicious math rock there, just absolutely crazy stuff. You MAY like some Rishloo stuff. They sound like A Perfect Circle with a dash of Mars Volta but the vocals are not high-pitched, they're more like A Perfect Circle's vocals. Try their song Keyhole in the Sky or Diamond Eyes. Tera Melos-Melody 5 A Perfect Circle-Orestes A Perfect Circle-Gravity A Perfect Circle-3 Libras This Town Needs Guns-Elk This Town Needs Guns-Rabbit Rishloo-Keyhole in the SKy Rishloo-Diamond Eyes

QUOTE (Good,bad,andrush @ Apr 18 2012, 09:38 AM) I know you hate the beejeebus out of Tool, but try these three tracks: The Patient, Right in Two, Wings for Marie/10000 Days. Those are not so heavy and they have a nice psychedelic touch to them, without any screaming vocals. Okay, that may not work out for you. Have you heard of Discipline and Glass Hammer? Discipline is VdGG meets Yes with touches of Genesis. Glass Hammer is pretty much just Yes. I wish you could get past the vocals of TMV as there's a bunch of great stuff there. The last two Pain of Salvation albums have a muddy 60's-70's sound with a bit of retro prog leaning and absolutely no metal (maybe a tinge) but the vocals and lyrics are WAY OVER THE TOP. I don't think you'd care about the lyrics though since you aren't attached to this band. Maybe you should give some earlier Pain of Salvation a try though. I'd recommend The Perfect Element Pt. 1 or Remedy Lane. The first two albums are amazing as well but feature a little more straightforward metal sections. Anyway, try these 15 Pain of Salvation tracks: From Entropia: Oblivion Ocean, People Passing By From One Hour By The Concrete Lake: Inside, Water From The Perfect Element: In the Flesh, Her Voices From Remedy Lane: A Trace of Blood, Dryad of the Woods From Be: Imago, Pluvius Aestivus From Scarsick: Kingdom of Loss From Road Salt 1: Sisters, Linoleum From Road Salt 2: Eleven, The Physics of Gridlock Okay, a little tip: Pain of Salvation, the earlier albums at least, feature rapping vocals and also some screams here and there, but I tried to avoid that. I think you should listen to the songs I recommended from The Perfect Element first. Avoid the album Scarsick. That's for diehard fans, and I included the best song on there, but the rest of the album is tons of rapping and parody tracks, like America and Disco Queen. The Road Salt albums are 99% metal free so check out those.

What do you call it Ticky? Ticky smoking jacket music for a night by the fire with a glass of port? It's not insanely Prog, a la DT. Its more indie alternative than it is prog. I just don't consider the album prog. Of course it's Prog. Tell me which is closer to classic Genesis, GfD or Images and Words? If anything DT aren't Prog and this album is pure classic Prog! Images and Words. Take The Time....Metropolis...Learning To Live. All more prog than GFD. Those are probably my favorite songs off of Images and Words. But still, I like Grace for Drowning a lot, and I'd still like it even if it wasn't prog. Just because I think it isn't a prog record doesn't make it not good. I think its experimental type music. Its just not progressive rock in my books. Once again, that doesn't make it bad. I hate labels and stuff but isn't prog experimental by definition?

Where's the option for I, as in ME, am sexy? And yeah, Treeduck is sexy, if you pretend that's him in the avatar

Roulette Dares by Mars Volta Idioglossia by Pain of Salvation. But basically jazz-fusion and math rock win this thread in general.

Makes everyone who complains about being unable to do something a total little bitch.

QUOTE (ILSnwdog @ Apr 25 2012, 10:12 PM) QUOTE (Good @ bad,andrush,Apr 25 2012, 09:04 PM) The coolest song ever though is aenema by Tool. That one made my long, but distinguished list. I'm starting to feel as if all other songs in this thread are now pointless for cranking up to 11. A song like Aenema is the perfect most badass song to just crank up while driving at 120mph on your way to go kick some robot and dinosaur ass

Song within a song, camel

That's exactly the type of music I have been waiting for. What a f*cked up video

The coolest song ever though is aenema by Tool.

The entire Deloused in a Comatorium album.

If you can't get into it, it doesn't mean it's overrated. And how is it overrated if PT is more popular?

I post from an iPad but I'll try to get my links up soon from a computer.

QUOTE (Tommy Sawyer @ Apr 24 2012, 10:33 PM) Anyone who votes yes deserves automatic fanboi status. Rush isn't even the best in Rock... King Crimson, Yes, VdGG, other top notch prog acts, and countless Jazz fusion groups > Rush in terms of sheer musicianship But does that really affect my opinion. Yeah, the question is about raw talent, if you vote yes you are a fanboy, and I admit to being one but I still didn't vote yes, that's just silly

It's metal like iron in a witch's butthole

I could shoot you right now!!! Fly From Here is AWWWWWWWSOME... He's saying Fly From Here is not as bad as this I agree though, this is one spectacular album.
