Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 OK...on album per band, including prog metal: 10. Gojira- From Mars To Sirius9. Jethro Tull- Thick As A Brick8. Can- Tago Mago7. Dream Theater- Octavarium6. Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds 5. King's X- Faith Hope Love4. Mastodon- Blood Mountain3. Rush- A Farewell To Kings2. Nightwish- Endless Forms Most Beautiful1. Yes- Tales From Topographic Oceans 8 Cheers for Tago Mago!!! My fav will always be Ege Bamyasi but its a bit like comparing For a Few Dollars More with The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. I'd go with Future Days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I thought I posted in this thread but I guess not! I'm going to try and just pick one album per band. I see a lot of my choices in the picks already but here goes... Rush - HemispheresELP - Brain Salad SurgerySymphony X - The OdysseyGenesis - GenesisRiverside - Second Life SyndromeSpock's Beard - Spock's BeardDixie Dregs - Night of the Living DregsThe Who - QuadropheniaStarcastle - StarcastlePink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon How did I forget ELP? The debut is still my favourite, Brain Salad Surgery still has yet to work its magic on me. How could anyone forget Quadrophenia??? I'm sure someone will come along and say it is a forgettable album. :sigh: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit the criteria for prog with non-traditional instruments, odd time signatures, synths and great musicianship, so why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnify Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If we start down the road of defining prog, we've got several thousand posts to catch up to Progarchives.... I considered Led Zeppelin and even The Beatles - which both had elements that show up in a lot of Prog discussion. I also love King's X - but I just can't put them on a "Prog list" Damn, just realized I missed all of Genesis and Peter Gabriel.... really, can't narrow it down! ohhhhh.. and crap - one of my all time favorites: MARILLION - Misplaced Childhood (Runners up: Clutching at Straws, Script for a Jesters tear, Fugazi) Also, one that I liked in the past few years: Sound of Contact - DImensionaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The definitions of "progressive rock" are as nebulous as "Jazz" of "New Age" bands can be both or all of one. Ambrosia is a band some consider to be a pop group but some of their early songs and indeed half of their entire catalog could be labeled Progressive. Same with later day Genesis. In Too Deep sits tightly on an album with a 10+ minute Progressive rock song like Domino. Call it whatever you want to call it. Was Deep Purple a Heavy Metal band with Proggy elements or a Progressive band with heavy rock elements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are truely a band that defies catagorization IMO. But whatever....they're awesome. That would definitely be the kind of band I'd like to be in...you'd never get bored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
