Don't think we've had a good Prog thread on here. If anyone fancies it, the latest Dream Theater album is streaming on progrockmag.com it is seriously epic.

As threads go, this one was about as catchy as a Gentle giant sing-along.

[KopOut]

I'm more of your Tull/crimson/Yes nutter

 

Contemporary wise, Porcupine Tree, or anything by its founder Steve Wilson, and Circa, which is X-Yes man Billy Sherwood.

[Ginny]

Can

[stringvest]

Can't

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Yes.

[General Dryness]

Partial to a bit of "Three of a Perfect Pair" era King Crimson, mostly for Tony Levins contributions.

[The Great Jacko]

Porcupine Tree anyone?

[stringvest]

isn't that an in-car air freshener?

 

Anyway, It Bites. 

[KopOut]

Porcupine Tree anyone?

Stephen Wilson recently re-mixed "Close To The Edge" for Yes in 5.1 and Stereo, from the original multitracks.

 

Not heard it yet but by all accounts its PRIMO.

 

 

[The Flâneur]

Cat's foot, Iron claw, neurosurgeons scream for more...

I always mix in a little extra sub bass on that one.

[Mook]

Where to start

 

 

I'm going to give special shout outs for Yes, King Crimson, ELP, Gentle Giant, Focus, Genesis & some Caravan.

 

 

Does anyone else think that Tales of Topographic Oceans is massively underrated?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Yes.

No.

Early Genesis is my dirty little secret.  Generally, I've got no time for anything pompous or overblown.  But amongst the many, many types of great music my many, many brothers and sisters had playing when I was growing up, one of my sisters got me into Foxtrot, Nursery Crymes, Selling England By the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

Dirty Little Secret, AoT ?  Genesis were fantastic until Gabriel left.

Dirty Little Secret, AoT ? Genesis were fantastic until Gabriel left.

They were brilliant until Hackett left IMO, Trick of the tail and Wind & wuthering are great albums along with Seconds out (the live one).

Original and best even though the cover version had Karen Carpenter's vocals
