OK, in preview those all show up italicized due to the emphasis tag, but I see the tags instead in the actual post. Weird
I like the new Flaming Lips albim Embryonic very much. I’d file it under Progressive Rock.
Here’s a page that will list such bands from the late 1960s until today.
Personally, I consider this the first Progressive Rock song. Or maybe proto-Progressive Rock. And for that matter, the first Doctor Who theme in 1963 was pretty damn progressive. I’ll bet the Yes boys watched that show as kids. And Gary Numan, too.
The Beatles: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and The Final Cut.
Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Moody Blues: Days of the Future Past
My favorite of these? The Final Cut. Pink Floyd was incredible.
Dream Theater anyone? (Also, 3 of the members from Dream Theater went off and made Liquid Tension Experiment with some guy from another bands, another prog band)
PROG rock people! How many people are just stating rock?
@Sarcasm Good call on the Dream Theatre call, Train of Thought is the best album for me.
Personally I’m more of a Spock’s Beard kinda guy (any of their early stuff, before the original lead singer left. Also Transatlantic, One of the best SuperBands ever if you ask me!
