I don't really like this one too much, it's perhaps one of their most harmonically complex but it doesn't have the songs IMO.

You're a pretentious faggot and retarded if you think it's not prog.

What's wrong with you? Can't appreciate ten minutes of unconventional noise in your 20 minute prog songs?

Trips of truth. Very underrated.
>>
>>65591338
I do not understand the love for Genesis. Yes, some of their songs are absolutely incredible but usually their albums are 3/4ths shit.

Foxtrot has Watcher of the Sky and Supper's Ready but everything else is garbage
>>
>>65591098
Holy Christ, you really are mentally challenged.

queen, styx the list goes on
>>
>>65589736
Have you actually given them a fair listen? They're in a completely different league from those bands and they're undoubtedly prog.
>>
>>65591365
god fuck no

the S/T has some moments from Holdsworth and Bruford but that one is proto-Asia
>>
>>65591342
elp?

Not saying Octopus is just contrarianism. I still have a soft spot for that one though because it's my first.
>>
>>65591393
between great and good
>>
>>65591408
No. They're both great albums. Eddie Jobson on keys and electronic violin are just incredible. Bruford or Terry Bozzio on drums. Wetton fresh out of King Crimson.

Procol Harum and Moody Blues are both underappreciated prog groups

it's mediocre, way better than Asia which might be the biggest waste of talent in human history

Kinda goofy but still a good listen if you're into prog and uh... space.

It's like the proggiest album that ever progged for fuck's sake

>>65591481
Start out with Pawn Hearts and then go on to Godbluff if you end up liking it

VdGG are a bit harder to get into than most prog bands, but definitely worth it
>>
>>65591523
I listened to Days of Future Passed and thought it fucking sucked, are there other albums better or different in style or should I just not bother?

Definitely. I also think that Crime of the Century by Supertramp is considerably underrated.

If you know all the standard prog here is some lesser known stuff.

In my opinion this is one of the greatest albums of century so far.

Listen to tool.

Oh god, the memories

This was the first prog album I ever listened to (if you dont count dark side of the moon). The Weirding is a really cool song, but I found the rest of the album to be lacking
