Just do it and grab Porcupine Tree, Tool, and Mars Volta.

One of my absolute favorite post-rock bands ever as well. Along with Sigur Ros. I think I may enjoy Sigur Ros a tiny bit more, but it depends what I'm in the mood for.

http://soundcloud.com/intense-like-camping From there, All My Life. It's my friend's song but she really gave it her all on that one, and her vocals made me addicted to that tune.

http://soundcloud.com/intense-like-camping This is not music for Rush fans! It is just folksy stuff with some kinda love song lyrics, but they are deeper than your regular love songs The music is repetitive and is not really professionally recorded, but still has a dreamy quality, although it is somewhat repetitive. This girl, Hanna Gregory, will also provide wordless vocals for my band's music, and we're expecting our album out soon, a bit after our first gig September 8th. Anyways, please listen to Hanna. Her voice is unique and amazing. All My Life is a song where she provides some really heartfelt emotional vocals, and Murderers is another one where she provides some powerful vocals for someone just 15 years old. Oh Sailor is inspired by The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, and has a dreamy quality to it. Let her know what you think by commenting on her soundcloud! Thanks! Also, she's part Irish, making her badass!

Okay, I got nothing, but for example, we make fun of Moving Pictures, Wish You Were Here, Are You Experienced, etc. Also, feel free to praise generally sucky albums

The only VdGG album (that I've heard - I don't have debut or TQZ/TPD) that I think is better is Pawn Hearts. The debut is one of my favorites. It reminds me a little of Syd Barret. For me "Still Life" is the best VDGG album. When I listen to it, it is the greatest album ever. I just don't listen to it often. Kinda creeps me out

Have you heard Still Life and Ghost Reveries yet? No, getting through them all one by one on Deezer. Those 2 are up next. Damnation has blown my mind, it's very funereal in atmosphere, but so melodic. Was not expecting that. BUT! Every CD ordered. Should have them all next week. You just can't go wrong here, except maybe the first album. It's great but mainly metal. Still, there are melodies to find. Well, I think you will very much enjoy those two I recommended.

Maudlin of the Well writes some creepy avant-garde stuff, which is weird because while a lot of it is beautiful, the contrasts between dark and beautiful confuse you and freak you out. What's more, they claim these songs were written in a separate dimension, through means of astral projection.

The music is haunting and surreal Yeah, I'm way behind on all things Opeth. I meant to start listening years ago, but there's just so much music out there. Started playing Blackwater Park & Heritage yesterday on Deezer. Yowsa. Still Life and Ghost Reveries next.

f**k you cancer, for trying to take my best friend's sister. She's twelve years old, but she is staying strong. Our band is gonna donate all our money to his family and cancer research, since she just started chemo.

Because someday mankind will use up the earth and will eventually need a second place to call home. If we learn all we can about Mars before that, it will make it much easier for us to establish it as an eventual second home. It will be many years before that happens and it won't happen in out lifetime. But it will be an awesome feat to one day have humans living on another planet. Plus, it's space exploration and that rules What about job exploration? Been unemployed lately? Yes, I'm employed, but many friends are not! What about being aware that our current behaviors are destroying the very planet we live on? We can't continue to use up all the resources without dire consequences! Does anyone smell disaster?? Global warming happens for a reason..we are responsible for it. What the hell does unemployment have to do with this? I was unemployeed for about 9 months back in 2003 when my job layed me off, but who cares? That was years ago and has nothing to do with the topic being discussed here. Exactly, we're on Mars! And that's amazing! Are you seriously not happy about that?

QUOTE (t2s @ Aug 9 2012, 12:08 AM) Genesis Krimso VdGG Yes Tull Rush and Floyd aren't really prog ELP just sucks Rush and Floyd are not really prog? Whatever. Prog doesn't mean long songs odd times and fantasy/ conceptual lyrics (which Floyd and Rush have anyway). And Are prog for combining your narrow definition of prog with classic rock, while pink Floyd does the same with psychedelia. If that is not prog, I don't know what is.
