Which is better
Let's be honest here.
camel - the album with the gandalf song, I forgot its name.
Close to the Edge by far, and those are all good albums. I feel like I'm hearing the voice of God on the final verse of Close to the Edge when what was once chill and groovy becomes intense and celestial.
>>61106015
Unfortunately, Thick as Brick.
>>61106015
Close to the Edge > Crimson King > Thick as a Brick > Selling England
They're all brilliant though
>>61106064
Definitely superior to all the albums I posted, but I really just wanted to touch on the iconic classic Prog albums.
TAAB > ITCOTCK > Selling England > Close to the Edge
>>61106064
Literally just a worse version of ITCOTCK
>>61106160
You're joking about Red right? It's nothing like In The Court. Is this a meme of yours?
>>61106015
Why did you post In the Court of the Crimson Kick when you could have posted Lark's Tongue in Aspic?
Godbluff > TAAB > CTTE > ITCOTCK > That new Yes album > SEBTP
ITCOTCK > TAAB > CTTE > SEBTP
>>61106187
I think it's a serious meme. He obviously hasn't listened to a single one of them.
>>61106079
Yes has a way with unbelievable emotional climaxs
>>61106015
This is really hard, but
ITCOTCK > SEBTP > TAAB > CTTE
They're all amazing tho
close to the edge is something out of this world, thick as a brick is good but overrated, selling england has some excellent tracks like moonlit night but some are just ok, and crimson is excellent, but close to the edge is better.
so CTTE>ITCOTCK>SEBTP>TAAB
Selling England By The Pound>Close To The Edge>In The Court Of The Crimson King>Thick As A Brick
>>61106160
thats a pretty modest rating
>>61106793
Come on dude, I need something better than that.
Close To The Edge > Selling England By the Pound > ITCOTCK > Thick As A Brick
>>61106160
>Literally just a worse version of ITCOTCK
You thinking of In the Wake of Poseidon?
>>61106015
ITCOTCK > Close to the Edge > Selling England > Thick as a Brick
>>61106901
In the Wake of Poseidon is better that ITCOTCK
SEbtP isn't even the best Genesis album
King Crimson > Thick as a Brick > Close to the Edge > the token fourth album that's just there to be obscure
>>61106924

How is this even a question? Close to the edge, easily.
The others are good too though.

This is probably right.

>>61106064
This album is purely, utter, nonsense, it takes no talent to create a pile of garbage and just because it's arranged to sound like a shitty Disney movie knockoff with a kooky album artwork doesn't make it valid or interesting. Hence why it hasn't been given any good subsequent reviews years later, it's just "quirky" and "le random XD" to be "cool" for hipsters online.
Find some actual artistic and real music. Miles Davis. Roy Ayers. Erykah Badu.
Fuck off, cunt. Gain some music knowledge.
>>61106015
Selling England by the Pound isn't the best album there but Firth of Fifth is better than any individual track from any of those other albums
Top left whatever that is nevre heard it ;)
How about we try something different?
>>61110035
Passion Play > Lizard >>>> TFTO > Foxtrot
>>61106015

>>61106064
This is right, Red is better than all, the conclusion to progressive rock
>>61110035
Foxtrot
>>61106015
Selling England
I love old Genesis.
>>61109799
Epic post.
>>61109799
The new Erykah Badu mixtape is sensational.
Red is still a great album though.
>>61110035
A Passion Play = Tales From Topographic Oceans > Foxtrot > Lizard
All pretty great, though, tbqh.
>>61110035
Foxtrot is my favorite Genesis album. The other three are decent albums from bands that have done much better. If you wanted second-tier albums, you should have gone with Larks', Aqualung, and Fragile.
again
>>61110498
Those aren't really comparable the way the 4 prog albums are.
Pet Sounds is extremely overrated though.
>>61110456
controversial opinion but i like larks' better than red
>>61110456
I kind of picked my favourite album from each band, regardless of the general appeal each one had.
>>61110589
Ah. You have pretty controversial opinions, but I know how that feels.
>>61110631
Thank you for being so comprehensive, fâm. It ain't easy.

Just because they are from the same area and had personnel overlap with other bands.
All right boys and girls, let's cross the Channel. Rank 'em.
>>61111202
also none of these btw national health 1977 and hatfield and the north 1974 are the best
>>61111368
only listened to phaedra:(
In the court of the Crimson King. For some reason it takes me back to visits to the library when I was around 6 or 7, very care free time for me, and for most people I would imagine.
Close to the Edge.
Selling England by the pound
Have yet to finish thick as a brick but I find it boring.

Why doesn't /mu/ like new prog?
>>61112470
too much metal and radiohead influence
i don't want spacey instrumentals inspired by portishead and fucking pink floyd
>>61112470
/mu/ likes some of that, but most of it can't stand up to the best prog of the 70s. Off that chart, the Mars Volta and Porcupine Tree are two of the best prog bands of all time, though.
>>61106015

>>61112498

End your worthless life.
reminder that this is the average person that hates steven wilson
>>61112802
He's clearly projecting, but Porcupine Tree are still trash.
>>61112770
i agree with you. Porcupine Tree are one of the best and most underrated modern bands. I was a bit disappointed from that solo album though, hope he will tour again with PT soon, though i doubt it will be in the near future
>>61106015
CTTE > TAAB > ITCOCK >>>> SEBTP
All great through.

>>61112039
It's not better than any of those, but is a modern overlooked great. Probably because of Fantano drones.
>>61112770
>>61112833
I've only heard one Porcupine Tree album when I was hanging out with a friend, Lightbulb Sun.
It seemed like a good album to me, even if it seemed like Pink Floyd at time.
>>61112890
>Porcupine Tree are one of the best and most underrated modern bands
dear god please stop
>>61112924
tell me about your music taste then instead of bitching like a huge faggot
>>61112976
Here, go and listen to some rock music that wasn't made by ball-less neckbeards, like this.
>>61113012
i cringed so much at this post
>>61113012
Not that guy but responding with This Heat does not help your case.
>>61113012
I really hope that this post isn't serious
>>61112924
Steven Wilson mixed and remastered albums of King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull and Yes, he produced the best opeth album out there, he did a lot of side projects beside being part of PT, he has one of the best current guitarists on his solo albums Guthrie Govan, you cant deny that he has major influence in modern prog rock.
>>61113024
>>61113025
>>61113049
Compelling counter-arguments, well done.
>>61112770

>>61113060
dude you literally fucking used to word neckbeard to argue with someone and randomly brought up this heat
>>61113052
yeah he remixes and remasters a bunch of great stuff but his own songs are total snorefests
>>61113052
>Steven Wilson mixed and remastered albums
Holy shit, what a great musician!
>he has major influence in modern prog rock
Are you implying that this is something to be proud of?
>>61113012
>this is the type of person that hates PT
>>61113060
Ahem.
>Here, go and listen to some rock music that wasn't made by ball-less neckbeards, like this.
Truly one of the great debate rhetoric since Webster, Clay, and Calhoun.
>>61113077
> Are you implying that this is something to be proud of?
this fuckin thread is about prog rock isnt it?
am i falling for bait or what the fuck is this?
>>61113109
Prog rock ended a long time ago. It got assimilated into post-punk.
>>61113142
More like post-punk co-opted prog rock to add legitimacy and elevate a fairly conventional genre.
>>61113142
Top kek
And there hasn't been a good post punk album in 20 years, good prog is still getting made
>mention Steven Wilson

>>61113155
>good prog is still getting made
A couple of decent Mars Volta albums is not enough to say that prog is still an active genre.
>>61113162
Well yes. Steven Wilson is like a version of Tool for people who think the real Tool are "too weird". Pretty much the most gutless and redundant music imaginable.
>>61113193
>Godwin's Tool law
NEVER FUCKING FAILS I SWEAR
>>61113218
What the fuck are you talking about m8.
>>61113152
>>61113142
I dont think post punk has anything to do with prog rock... Its more like a followup to punk and lofi.
>>61113233
Godwin's law = comparing something to hitler
Godwin's Tool law = comparing something to Tool or bringing Tool up in a pathetic attempt to shame somebody
>>61113259
I fail to see how Tool are not an appropriate point of comparison for Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson. They both make "progressive" music that sits somewhere in the grey area between rock and metal, and both have fanbases of idiotic teenage nerds.
>>61113288
i absolutely agree with that unfortunately...
>X music is bad because a group of people Y listen to it
