tangy Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I don't know anything about the people who operate roadrunner records but I think any label that has DT, PT and Opeth on its roster deserves a mention in this thread. Any other records companies loaded with Prog? Radiant Records? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Transatlantic puts some progressive giants all on one album. If you want to hear the current face of prog you must own The Whirlwind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 not sure how many will agree but I want to mention Les Claypool. I heard he's a huge fan of Rush and was influenced by Peter Gabriel, Chris Squire as well as Geddy. plus he's pretty much invented his own genre of music (artsy folk metal??)!! doesn't get much more prog than that! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Steven Wilson from a writing standpoint. Certainly Gavin Harrison from a drumming standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I would say rush and dream theater, but mostly rush since dt was influenced by them. It seems there are an aweful lot of bands since them in the prog genre that either admit to being influenced or deny the influence but "happen to sound like them". Bring on the DT tomatos!

Soni Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 You know we say all these names, but I'm sure that guys Fripp, Bruford, Squire or Hackett are still pretty influential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
