qwe3: Essential Prog | Sputnikmusic

qwe3 05.05.10	so yeah. took a long time. tried to loosely classify them. looks pretentious but w.e. it helps people decide on what to get. fckoff those who are gonna say 29-31 aren't progressive
Jim 05.05.10	wildhoney is one i've always meant to get but never seem to get around to it no neath :(
liledman 05.05.10	good list, i dont have a problem with the later ones... but 22? ... its got the elements in there, but i would never use prog as a first description of it.
DoubtGin 05.05.10	what I'd probably add Can - Ege Bamyasi Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom Rush - Moving Pictures Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All Porcupine Tree - In Absentia but good list, basically contains every prog album that needs to be listened to (talkin about the old prog ones, your newer prog selection is fine too)
JayVex 05.05.10	Fucking YES
qwe3 05.05.10	yeah i tried adding a comment down here about ones that i wouldnt recommend personally but were prob necessary. was gonna say rush, dream theater etc but cbf
Mordecai. 05.05.10	i'm gonna (s)prog all ova yo face *nice list
qwe3 05.05.10	liledman they were definitely progressive enough to be included. yeah theyre diff from the other ones in the 70s.
Phrike 05.05.10	Strapping Young Lad? I don' think so hun
qwe3 05.05.10	definitely
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	fantastic list for the most part, but there is some bad shit on here. Props for number 58, a favorite jam prog band of mine.
Phrike 05.05.10	but... why qwe, why...
Powerban 05.05.10	52 isnt prog u lier
Nagrarok 05.05.10	Props for mentioning Focus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpV5InLw52U
qwe3 05.05.10	neutral there is exactly 0 bad shit on here
deadinholywood 05.05.10	I still do not think that coheed are a progressive band... other than that nice list
McCopper 05.05.10	Anyone can suggest similar albums to thick as a brick(not from Jethro)?It is my 6th favourite all time album and I love the "prog folk" sound as well as the medieval vibe I get from it some times.
Fugue 05.05.10	Could do with some CAN but other than that 'tis a solid list. I'll be checking back to catch up with the albums here I don't have.
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	RX bandits and Karnivool kind of suck and are in no way essential. But great list overall qwe, as the 'progmaster' which I'm not, I have quite a few of these left to listen too for myself. Actually, I'm going to use your list as a reference, once I'm done with my emo, post-rock and jazz binge I'm going back to prog. This list should have The Moody Blues, Dream Theater (I know you don't like them but they are ESSENTIAL regardless), Rush (as said before), ummm... lemme think...
iamSeraph 05.05.10	tool - 10k days, dewd
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	k had a look through my Ipod. First off, the essential Spock's Beard album is "The Light". Second, needs Porcupine Tree's "Fear of a Blank Planet", instead of Still Life, "Blackwater Park". and maybe "Morningrise" just because, I'd also put Circle Takes the Square, I do consider them 'Progressive Screamo' as incorrect as that may be, Symphony X's "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" and "V: THe New Mythology Suite", Between the Buried and Me's "The Silent Circus" and "Colors" (I know qwe, you don't like it), and maybe top it off with slightly progressive-as-of-late indie band The Decemberists. Again, great list, I'll have to hear some of these myself.
Jim 05.05.10	yeah props for focus hocus pocus is a mad song.
liledman 05.05.10	if anything labelled "progressive screamo" was to be added, it would be gospel.
PayneTiger777 05.05.10	You pretty much covered all the awesomeness. Maybe some Riverside and Lunatic Soul?
qwe3 05.05.10	neutral, the two opeth albums i mentioned are both infinitely superior to bwp, epsecially if you take into context the genre they're judged within. rx bandits are doing what few bands are doing and actually "progressing" the genre rather than just including long songs, themes and complex time signatures. i was debating on putting the moody blues on here but i decided no because they generally suck imho. i was actually gonna comment and put the bands that i wouldnt necessarily recommed but that still had enough influence to be mentioned, but i got lazy. dt and btbam woulda prob been mentioned. and i actually do like "the silent circus" by btbam. decemberists are great but besides including a concept in their albums arent progressive. cheers for your input though
qwe3 05.05.10	"if anything labelled "progressive screamo" was to be added, it would be gospel." this
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	hey qwe- first off, The Mood Blues don't really 'suck' their early albums and especially "Days of Future Passed" is a brilliant and early symphonic prog record that it considered to be a very important contribution to the genre. Secondly, I know your view on "prog" and I understand where you talk about actually "progressing the genre", but I personally don't care for RX Bandits, though they are a very original group, but I don't think they are essential. Also, "Blackwater Park" imo the best album of the decade, it's Opeth's best for many reasons, but yes, I agree, in the context here, Still Life would probably be the most essential, despite being slightly overrated imo. And btw, the Decemberists weren't the best choice, however, I wanted to kind of hint at the fact that you were kind of missing the 'progressive alt/indie' scene. The Decemberists, especially on "Hazards of Love" have turned into one of those progressive indie bands, simply because of the experimentation, style, and organization of that record in particular. It was good too see Spock's Beard as well, another fave of mine, but I think it's weird how you like them and despise Dream Theater. Anyway, excellent list, I'll have to check some of these out when I get off my emo and jazz binge. Good job qwe.
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	and one more thing, when I say "Progressive Indie/Alt" I'm talking about bands like Circa Survive (despite their new album being a snoooooozeeeeefessssst) and Minus the Bear (new stuff, especially "Planet of Ice). And maybe some other jazz fusion prog like Soft Machine, but thats not really that essential.
stillexist 05.05.10	My two cents: Arachnoid's self titled album from '78. Great French avant prog that has a very alien and space opera sound. Less obscure, but no less artful: Botch's "We Are the Romans", really transcends the metalcore tag. "We Are the Romans" makes you feel like a maniacal soldier fighting with bestial bravado
fr33convict 05.05.10	You need to divide the rest of the decades. You only did the 70's. Also, you need more Tool and Rush.
Jethro42 05.05.10	Wow nice clip Nag
bungy 05.05.10	Whoa awesome
Nagrarok 05.05.10	Thanks buddy. Everyone who hasn't heard Focus should take a look and be amazed.
qwe3 05.05.10	"You need to divide the rest of the decades. You only did the 70's. Also, you need more Tool and Rush." 70s is more a sound division than decade division and i didnt put rush in because i think they suck.
JWT155 05.05.10	This isn't a progmaster list so it must be all lies...
LG 05.05.10	Add Rishloo and Periphery and list will be complete.
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	lots of great stuff here.. for modern prog i always have to have... pure reason revolution - the dark third the mayan factor - in lake' ch riverside - out of myself demians - building an empire the gathering - souvenirs those 5 albums all have a very unique sound of them and are essential!
JWT155 05.05.10	Let me run those past progmaster first...
fr33convict 05.05.10	and i didnt put rush in because i think they suck. Damn right they do. But the trolls come out of the water and stab you to death if you don't put Rush on a prog list.
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	" But the trolls come out of the water and stab you to death if you don't put Rush on a prog list." i fucking love rush, but that comment was hilarious
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	and what do you have against emerson, lake, palmer? tad too much king crimson for my liking
Parallels 05.05.10	hahahah i love rush. and dream theater.... and liquid tension experiment... ...
Jethro42 05.05.10	@ Sonic: LTE are pretty meh, my friend. @ Brick: Talkin'about ELP, you need to know Triumvirat - Illusions on a Double Dimple Triumvirat - Spartacus
jesusjuice1179 05.05.10	Protest The Hero is proggish, as well as Sikth, but they don't really seem to fit in with this list how bout Coheed?
jesusjuice1179 05.05.10	whoops didn't see Coheed there
qwe3 05.05.10	"Add Rishloo and Periphery and list will be complete. rishloo's good not essential and periphery sucks anus "for modern prog i always have to have... pure reason revolution - the dark third the mayan factor - in lake' ch riverside - out of myself demians - building an empire the gathering - souvenirs" dude i can't just put people's fav albums on here and anyways riverside blows
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	but they are amazing
Dryden 05.05.10	2 is so good
qwe3 05.05.10	riverside sucks ass. music's so bleh. haven't listened to demians
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	you're crazy. what about ELP?
qwe3 05.05.10	ELP sucked. example of prog at its worst point of excessiveness
jesusjuice1179 05.05.10	how bout the alchemy index by Thrice, those were pretty prog-y
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	ELP weren't exactly the best songwriters, and they were the flashiest of the bunch, but I enjoy their instrumental solo 'question and answer' method. I'm a musician, so I enjoy technicality a lot. I think it makes a band very interesting. Stop ripping on qwe if your favorite isnt on here, this is a fine list without shit like Tool and fucking Riverside.
Jethro42 05.05.10	Here's a bunch of recs. I hope you'll find something for you. Premiata Forneria Marconi - The World Became the World UK - U.K. Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura Strawbs - Hero & Heroine Horslips - The Book of Invasions Mostly Autumn - The Last Btight Traffic - John Baleycorn Must Die Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories Kansas - Two for the Show Finisterre - In Limine Landberk - One tells Another Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky Harmonium - L'Heptade Marillion - Misplaced Childhood Supertramp - Crime of the Century Yezda Urfa - Boris Wobbler - Hinterland The Tangeant - A Place in the Queue Univers Zero - Uzed Gargamel - Descending
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	and btw to jesusjuice, the best Thrice album is Vheissu, which is proggy as well, way better than their post-hardcore, awfully sung, awfully written, boring, lame ass post-hardcore pussy bullshit. Just so everyone knows that Thrice sucks. But yeah Vheissu could be on here but isn't essential.
jesusjuice1179 05.05.10	never knew you hated Thrice so much neutral, i didn't really find Vheissu all that prog-y, more experimental than anything else i thought, and i don't really like the alchemy index stuff but that seems to them at their most proggish
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	now Jethro IS the fucking progmaster especially for classic prog.
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	"Stop ripping on qwe" lol i think qwe can stick up for himself. "without shit like Tool and fucking Riverside." go check #40 you fucking idiot. and i never said it needs riverside, i just said they would be on my list. go learn how to read.
Jethro42 05.05.10	lol it' about fucking time you take note :)
qwe3 05.05.10	Best Thrice album is Illusion of Safety easily. has their best songs and is way rawer sounding. and wtf tool is on the list guys jesus christ. I enjoy technicality when it's well placed, but when it's just mindless noodling (ELP, DT, BTBAM, Human Abstract etc) it just pisses me off. cheers jethro, i have listened to maybe 60% of that
Jethro42 05.05.10	Cheers man
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	and in case you're still trying to read what i wrote, how about you go read the list description..mainly the part where it says "people wanna add suggestions that'd be cool."
jesusjuice1179 05.05.10	i though Vheissu was their best, but Illusion of Safety was close is Mastodon still considered prog, or have they been downgraded to something else
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	but between this list and jethros suggestions i have a lot of classic prog to go check out
qwe3 05.05.10	imma check out jethro's and anotherbricks recs. whats demians sound like dude? ive heard of them before
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	"I enjoy technicality when it's well placed, but when it's just mindless noodling (ELP, DT, BTBAM, Human Abstract etc)"- Dream Theater isn't really mindless noodling, I play both guitar and bass, along with drums and piano. Dream Theater may rely on solos a lot, but there is a lot of theory behind their music, especially on earlier albums, they use a lot of classical and jazz techniques. They are brilliant musicians. I agree that BTBAM and Human Abstract also are very technicality based but it's not mindless. It's disjointed, yes, very odd song structures, and yeah, the experimentation with other genres is 'weird' but it shows how much bands like that think outside the box. Controlled Noodling (yes, there is such a thing) can sometimes be as charming as any well-written Bob Dylan song. I know we disagree qwe, but the reason bands like Dream Theater have so many fans that are legit music professors (I know some personally) is because of the advanced techniques, intertwined harmonies and brilliant theory-based riffing that they implement. Yeah, they are flashy as hell, and I'd be a fool if I said Dream Theater wasn't inconsistent (half of their discography sucks soooo much ass) but sometimes flashy, genre mashing madness is the way to go, when it's in good faith. BTBAM isn't mindless noodling aside from some parts on their newest album.
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	"and what do you have against emerson, lake, palmer? tad too much king crimson for my liking". Unfortunately Anotherbrick, King Crimson is the best and most important classic progressive rock band along with Floyd and YES. King Crimson is better than any band you listen too.
JWT155 05.05.10	3,000th comment on a qwe prog list... ^-^
NeutralThunder12 05.05.10	oh. and let me rephrase. I dont like Thrice, but Illusion and Vheissu ARE their best. Identity Crisis is awful, Illusion is pretty good, Fartist kind of sucks, Vheissu is excellent, and everything after is kinda bleh.
Jethro42 05.05.10	NeutralThunder, you're on the air :)
qwe3 05.06.10	"Controlled Noodling (yes, there is such a thing) can sometimes be as charming as any well-written Bob Dylan song." dude no. just no.
PaperTigers 05.06.10	Considering Robert Fripp has claimed many times that King Crimson is not a prog-rock band, I'd pick someone else to be the "best and most important classic progressive rock band". Also, stop being an annoying douche. Great list here Qwe. In addition to several obvious ones, I was happy to see Oceansize and Devin Townsend. I'd suggest The Ocean - Precambrian and Cave In - Jupiter.
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	hey neutralthunder you are wrong. king crimson is just influential and that is it. they wrote one pretty good album and a shit ton of mediocre albums. pink floyd > king crimson
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	" "I enjoy technicality when it's well placed, but when it's just mindless noodling (ELP, DT, BTBAM, Human Abstract etc)"- Dream Theater isn't really mindless noodling, I play both guitar and bass, along with drums and piano.

BTBAM isn't mindless noodling aside from some parts on their newest album. " did anyone actually read that whole thing?
qwe3 05.06.10	King Crimson actually wrote 4 amazing albums same number as Floyd actually. cheers Tigers but I don't care what Fripp says, KC were a prog rock band
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	i must just not listen the right way
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	lol Papertigers, actually King Crimson ARE a prog rock band. Ok Anotherbrick. Lol 'one pretty good album'. "In the Court", "Red" and "Larks" all beat "Dark Side", "Wish you Were Here" and of course "The Wall" which is an abysmal, pathetic excuse for a record. "Lizard" and "Discipline" are also excellent. Pink Floyd may be more popular, and don't get me wrong, are my second favorite classic prog band, but King Crimson has the better and more diverse musicians. They also are too much fun not too like. "One petty good album". From now on, everything you say is discredited. Fucking asshole.
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	"in the court" has 3 good songs. rest of the album fucking blows. no shit they have more diverse musicians, they've had fucking 10000 different members. if they would of kept the original line up then they could of evolved together and possibly wrote a masterpiece. "in the court" has nothing on any album floyd wrote in the 70's and yes that includes the wall
qwe3 05.06.10	this was gonna include stuff like rush and dt and btbam because theyre just examples of pretty prominent and/or influential prog. but i couldn't stand putting dream theater in a qwe rec list
EVedder27 05.06.10	since I don't feel like reading the comments above, awesome list qwe, I would just take out El Cielo (yeah I went there) and add Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and Marillion - A Script for the Jester's Tear. Need to listen to some of these.
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	why wont you like rush? i know why you dont like the others but why rush?
qwe3 05.06.10	In The Court's songs are all good except Moonchild, and if you have the version where moonchild is missing all the retarded noodling shit then it's awesome. Discipline is the best KC album Anotherbrick you should check that one out. it's also prob their most accessible. ITCOTCK is def a masterpiece, not just in terms of musical quality but in terms of its influence and pioneering quality
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	"in the court" has nothing on any album floyd wrote in the 70's and yes that includes the wall"- dude keep it going. These comments are amazing. "The Wall" is atrocious. Oh qwe, where art thou? I mean, I know you don't see eye to eye with me all the time, but is this comment a joke? Is Anotherbrick an alt of yours? Or someone? because this comment cant be for real. Wait, any album Floyd wrote in the 70's. So, are you saying that "Obscured by Clouds" is better than "In the Court of the Crimson King".
EVedder27 05.06.10	it is fucking stupid to compare Obscured by Clouds to In the Court of the Crimson King
qwe3 05.06.10	vedder: i debated putting the lamb lies down on broadway on but it's not really a favourite of mine. actually i'm not the world's biggest genesis fan, but i figured i'd add two albums by them because genesis. can't staaand marillion, neo prog is so kitsch to me dude brick: rush sucks thats why i dont like them
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	and qwe, Moonchild is just fine, the second half is what we call "Improv" (yes, I know you know what that is) but I cant believe you are not tearing this guy's ass. Anyway, "Discipline" is really good, and as a guitar player should be my favorite, but I prefer "Red", "In the Court", "Larks", "Lizard" and... actually no thats it. Some songs of "Discipline" just annoy me, but most show Fripp's best playing. Oh, and anotherbrick, ROBERT FRIPP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>David Gilmour
EVedder27 05.06.10	qwe - I'm sort of a sucker for concept albums so I guess that's why I love that album
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	influential doesnt mean it is actually good. it has 3 fucking sweet songs but they didnt keep the sound that they were developing. i talk to the wind drives me crazy and moonchild had potential but they ruined it. i'll check that album out next qwe thunder i thought you were just going to disregard anything that i said? when i talk about pink floyd i refer to their actual studio albums...not the soundtracks you dumb fuck. but yes..i would take obscured by clouds over in the court of the crimson king. King Crimson was very important to the progressive genre but they cant write a solid album. i've heard a bunch of king crimson and it is pretty boring but i am going to check out discipline
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	"King Crimson was very important to the progressive genre but they cant write a solid album." OK THAT WAS THE BEST COMMENT EVER. Wow. You've finally done it. You've said the dumbest thing I've ever heard since my friend texted me the message: "bullet for my valentine>>>Opeth". For real dude. I used to like you, and still kind of do, but oh my god you just said the most blatantly retarded thing I've ever seen on Sputnik. Wow. Bravo dude. That was just... I dont even know. King Crimson can't write a solid album. Wow.
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	lol good one thunder. you know where my shout box is if you wanna keep on going with this. i'm sure qwe is annoyed with us spamming his list. you can respond to this if you want, but i wont respond to you unless you actually message me
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	and Vedder- I'm going with qwe on this one. Those are the best from Genesis. "Lamb" has its moments but flaws awkwardly, some tracks suckkkkkk, even though in some points it's really organized. But kinda inconsistent in all fields, hard to listen to in full.
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	"it is fucking stupid to compare Obscured by Clouds to In the Court of the Crimson King" shows how smart he is
Jethro42 05.06.10	omg the thread keeps going on... I wish english was my mother tongue just to participate and debate with you guys, but damn it runs too fast :P So I just keep trying to read you for now. Kinda funny. :)
EVedder27 05.06.10	its pretty cohesive but whatever
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	Jethro, according to Anotherbrick, King Crimson cannot write a solid album. Hmmmm...
NumbWalrus 05.06.10	pink floyd>>>>>king crimson
qwe3 05.06.10	Brick of KC's discog what have you heard? "influential doesnt mean it is actually good." very true but in this case ITCOTCK is both. and dude i couldnt put up a prog list and leave out king crimson even if i disliked them epitaph is the musical form of an orgasm
EVedder27 05.06.10	epitaph is so fucking good
Jethro42 05.06.10	Yeah..It didn't click yet... At this point I'm not really certain he'd appreciate 'Discipline'
qwe3 05.06.10	vedder: yeah i mean i like Lamb but it's just a bit....well i find listening to it a chore a lot of the time. has some sweeeet songs though.
EVedder27 05.06.10	I looked up the in-depth analysis of the concept and I was like wtf......but this is pretty awesome
PaperTigers 05.06.10	King Crimson bore me a bit as well. I'd love to hear a guitar player's take on that, though. Does anybody know any guitar players? There obviously aren't any guitar players in this thread, because if there were, they would regularly be beating people over the head with that fact. Oh well, maybe somebody that plays guitar can tell me how great King Crimson are some day.
Jethro42 05.06.10	QWE: the best way to fully appreciate TLLDOB is to get 'Genesis Archives 1967-75....the first 2 discs are the whole story of Rael LIVE...Gorgeous man!
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	Papertigers, I'll be at your shoutbox to rag on you and Thrice in a sec. So shut the fuck up. And qwe, agree again, Epitaph IS an orgasm.
Jethro42 05.06.10	Robert Fripp is just WOW for every prominant guitarist woeldwide
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	epitaph, title track, and 21st century are all fucking good but i've never really found a song other then those that i've liked. ya dude, the concept is fucking weird uhh i've heard... in the court, island, larks tongue, lizard, red, in the wake of poseidon (probably my 2nd favorite)
qwe3 05.06.10	cheers jethro will look into it. i think anotherbrick would like discipline, it's a lot easier to get into. brick check this one out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlHp9QVcSmY
Jethro42 05.06.10	Yes I fear, tomorrow...I'll be crying CRYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiingggg
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	CONFUSION, WILL BE MY EPITAPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	if IN the Wake was your second fave, than you ARE a dumbass bro. And qwe, my youtube is fucked up, what song from Discipline did you post?
Jethro42 05.06.10	You youtubed the shit qwe. 'Indiscipline' is awesome too.
qwe3 05.06.10	yeah anotherbrick check out that youtube it's a great song progmaster: it's frame by frame
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	lol thunder. the fact that i like a different album makes me a dumbass? i mean...this world would be so fucking fun if everyone liked the same fucking albums. (sarcasm)
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	lol a year ago, before I was really into Fripp, I used to sit with my Ibanez and jack off to the intro of Frame by Frame
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	And no, not because you like a different album. you are a dumbass because that is a bad album. It's bad.
Jethro42 05.06.10	I was searching the 'Indiscipline' best version ever on you tube. I didn't get it. ( the live vroom vroom version....Soooo Goood) So in rreplacement, take this one...Very good YaaaY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvMDeUz6f8A For you Brick, in particular.
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	hey thunder you should take notes from jethro and qwe. you know..not calling people out because they disagree with you. i'll be sure to check out those 2 links you guys sent
NeutralThunder12 05.06.10	Anotherbrick, you should take a lesson from David Gilmour on how to make a boring solo. He's good at it. He uses the same one on every album. (Again, a huge Floyd fan)
EVedder27 05.06.10	thunder stop embarrassing yourself
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	lol you try too hard
sspedding 05.06.10	circle of contempt

bungy 05.06.10	Fucking 54 albums and your only comment is that one of them is overrated.
bungy 05.06.10	why am i upset about this
qwe3 05.06.10	he rated btbam a 5 bungy he must know about prog
AnotherBrick 05.06.10	thats a lie

Mordecai. 05.06.10	fuck i hate Dream Theater.
qwe3 05.06.10	toxicity is just alt metal with a circus-y twist. origin is alt rock and miss machine is mathcore. "WHERE THE FUCK IS RUSH?" not here because they suck

qwe3 05.06.10	woah this is an epic thread
Sabottheory 05.10.10	List wins. Add Comus, Can, Henry Cow and Univers Zero and we might have a deal.
JamieTwort 05.12.10	Damn good list!
acorncheese 05.12.10	That modern prog list is FUCKING delicious.
JamieTwort 05.12.10	I prefer the '70's Prog' and 'Prog Metal' sections of the list to be honest.
PirateSquid 05.12.10	Just commenting so I can easily find this list later since it seems uber helpful
Greggers 05.12.10	Good list for the most part; on the subject of Rush I think that, opinions aside, there's no denying their influence on the prog rock genre. IMO, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres are essential 70's prog albums, and 2112 one of the most essential and defining prog epics/suites. Good list nonetheless though, I'll make sure to check some of these out.
qwe3 05.12.10	i see your point greggers but i just think they're fucking awful
Brylawski 05.12.10	any good flute music in this list?
qwe3 05.12.10	all the jethro tull albums and parts of the king crimson album "in the ourt of the crimson king"
Brylawski 05.12.10	KC is one of my favorite bands, never listened to jethro tull though, i guess i should
Jethro42 05.12.10	qwe, qwe... flûte de flûte de flûte Camel Focus Gentle Giant I rec you another excellent sympho prog band: Bacamarte - Depois Do Fim (with some Fantastic flute)
JesusV4 06.08.10	Good list, although how could you not include Can? I'm bookmarking it anyway though (I already know about Can at least but if I didn't? Oh, shame!
qwe3 06.08.10	Didn't include Can because idk I guess i didnt feel like including Krautrock
qwe3 06.08.10	uh yeah whyd you do that this is actually a decent list.
