Also, dude, you NEED to check out some of those Italian prog albums. They're as good as the best UK prog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Lawlz does Mars Volta count for using made up words, and rather than English, Spanglish? Technically it's a dialect spoken in border towns, and they're from El Paso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Does Sigur Ros count as prog? If so they are about the only non-English music I listen to besides Dead Can Dance. Oh, and how about The Cocteau Twins? Edited September 11, 2012 by drbirdsong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 For some reason I don't really listen to a lot of prog that's not sung in English. I'm not that familiar with Italian prog and most of the Scandinavian stuff I listen to is sung in English (with the exception of Anglagard's Hybris - one of my favorite albums ever). I do like what I've heard from Banco, Le Orme, Maxophone, and PFM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Did Maxophone sing in English? Nevermind, just found out the answer Edited September 11, 2012 by bathory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The one about the seasons) I'm sure I'll check out Italian eventually, but right now I'm more into eclectic, Canterbury and symphonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about them, but first off, Elizabeth Fraser actually does usually sing in English, just often pronounced so uniquely as to render it virtually indecipherable. Secondly, and most importantly... they ain't prog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 cocteau twins certainly aren't "prog" in the 12-minute-songs-about-gandalf sense but you could probably make a case for them being "progressive" in some way great group but yeah I wouldn't call them prog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The Cocteau Twins are close to prog, but I agree they don't quite get there. I have heard Liz Fraiser say that she is singing oddly pronounced English and on the latter albums you can make out some words. I don't know if I would call it English. Hey, Rushgoober, what do you call that music anyway? I love all those 1980s 4AD bands because they always seemed so close to the prog I was listening to in the 1970s. Sorry to get off topic, that never happens. I'm so embarrassed to be the first one to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocteau Twins were shoegaze or ethereal, others were britpop, others were just rock I guess or other subgenres. My fave 4AD bands were Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, His Name Is Alive, Mojave 3 & Michael Brook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
