Favorite Albums Of All Time![views:7020][posts:87]____________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 3:50pm - arilliusbm ""] But it would also be good to note that don't expect "prog" bands to sound like Rush. To me, Rush are in a different dimension than most other prog bands, mainly because they arrived later in the 70s (meh, their first album is Led Zepp worship if you ask me) and because they rely more heavily on music theory than some others. King Crimson is more of an acid/rock/prog hybrid, but each album sounds different. But they did way more drugs than Rush, you can count on that. If you want something that has somewhat similar drumming to Neil Peart, I'd suggest Camel - MoonMaddness |

| _________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 3:52pm - darkwor ""] i'm basically looking for what was groundbreaking and evil for the time. the more drugs the better. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 3:53pm - arilliusbm ""] And I failed to mention ELP. Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Greg Lake (dude is a god) played bass and did vocals on King Crimson's 1st album, and vocals on the second one In the wake of poseidon |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 4:06pm - arilliusbm ""] no prob darkwor. that blog is perhaps one of the best out there. some of the stuff they have on there is so rare, you can't even find any info on the bands on the internet. there's some great german/norwegian prog bands on there. but you have to take into consideration that they are ripping the sound from vinyl so the production isn't great. |

| _________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 4:28pm - RustyPS ""] just thought of some more...lol Coalesce - Give Them Rope, Functioning On Impatience Botch - We Are the Romans Shai Hulud - Hearts Once Nourished With Hope And Compassion Blood For Blood - Spit My Last Breath Bane - It All Comes Down To This Majority Rule - Emergency Numbers Pg. 99 - Document #8 |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 4:38pm - ouchdrummer ""] ISIS- Mosquito Control!!! Botch- We Are The Romans This will be how the rest of this thread plays out, people will continually modify their lists until they stop caring about this thread....and i too will continue in this endless cycle. DAMN YOU!! |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 5:20pm - ouchdrummer ""] yeah, anthology has better stuff on it... but WATR has so much more music overall. It's a tough one, i wasn't sure which one to put. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 6:11pm - LPCustom ""] Yeah I'm gonna keep adding too: ISIS - Panopticon Neurosis - The Eye Of Every Storm Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue The Beatles - Anything from Rubber Soul on Megadeth - Rust In Peace Testament - The New Order Metallica - ...And Justice Meshuggah - ObZen Dillinger Escape Plan - All full lengths Every Time I Die - Hot Damn! and onward Converge - Probably anything Muse - Absolution Motorhead - Ace Of Spades (and pretty much everything) Radiohead - Kid A Van Halen - Any David Lee stuff. And I don't know if it'd be there now but all the talk about the new Glassjaw EP made me listen to Worship & Tribute and remember how sick it was. Zeppelin, Who, Deftones, Dylan, Coltrane, and Springsteen could all fit somewhere in there nicely. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2009 6:17pm - LPCustom ""] Pantera, Thin Lizzy. Yes to the kid who said people will never stop adding. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 16,2009 6:35pm - Blue ""] Pantera - Cowboys From Hell XTC - English Settlement Adam Sandler - They're All Gonna Laugh At You!

| ________________________________________ [Jun 17,2009 2:35am - Eyehatehippies ""] darkwor said:aril can you give some good 70's-ish prog albums? i love rush, mahavishnu orchestra, etc. wanting to get into more. On more of the Rush hard rock tip, you should definitely own Captain Beyond s/t, Lucifer's Friend s/t, If you like Mahavishnu, get the 70's Skid Row stuff. Not the 80's cheesy glam band, a whole different animal, jazz/blues inflected hard rock. Well worth owning. Check out Gentle Giant, that's a prog must have. I really like Camel, but that might be too cheesy for some... I'd recommend getting High Tide's two albums, and the Night Sun album, that's prog/psych hard rock/proto-metal at its best. If you're into the kraut thing, get the first few Amon Duul II albums. I love everything up til Wolf City, and like most of the stuff after that. The first four though, Phallus Dei, Yeti, Tanz Der Lemming, and Wolf City, those are essential to any prog collection. For more great kraut rock, check out Ash Ra Tempel, Neu!, and Can. Also Guru Guru. If you like Mahavishnu, you should dig those bands. Get the Genesis stuff from the 70's. You won't be disappointed, that's some of the greatest conceptual prog ever made. |
