Just listen to pic related
Spoiler: It was fucking amazing
Now I've decided to get into progressive rock/art rock. What are the great albums of this genre?
>>63564004
Just go with King Crimson discography
>>63564023
This tbqh
King Crimson is the only prog you need
>>63564004
In the court of the crimson king
>>63564004
Moving pictures
Close To The Edge bitch. Gentle Giant and Gryphon too.
>>63564004
Go with KC and head down the Avant-prog route my man. Also try Soft Machine - Third, Henry Cow - Leg End, King Crimson - ITCOTCK, Larks, Starless and Red, oh yeah and if you want something more difficult try Magma - MDK.
Have fun
Close to the edge
Close to the Edge, Hemispheres, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Selling England By the Pound, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Scenes From a Memory, Lateralus, In Absentia, Gentle Giant, Larks' Tongue in Aspic, Aqualung, Crime of the Century, Brain Salad Surgery
The sky moves sideways
>>63564004
Emerson Lake and Palmer - Triology or Brain Salady SUrgery or Pictures at an Exhibition
Rush - 2112. Hemispheres or Moving Pictures
Yes - Close to the Edge, Roundabout, 90125
ELO - Out of the Blue
Genesis - Nusery Cryme
Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
Jethro Tull - Aqualung or Thick as a Brick
>>63564155
Don't listen to Steven Wilson. At his best he is a Pink Floyd rip off.
>>63564148
Wish You Were Here, Animals, Dark Side of the Moon as well
Pale communion
>>63564130
Not this, that's for sure
Close to the Edge is better than Fragile, so definitely listen to that
this is the best prog album ever though
>>63564175
He is, but that album is pretty entertaining.
and storm corrosion is awesome
>>63564182
That's a good prog rock album faggot
>>63564175
That can be argued for his earlier Porcupine Tree material through Signify, but everything after wasn't really like PF.
>>63564203
It's essential "good bookends, shitty middle filler" core.
>>63564197
I think you meant CttE or this
Deloused in the Comatorium and Frances the Mute
Also yes Close to the Edge is much better than Fragile, the title track is by far Yes' best song in their discography
>>63564208
Yes I'm aware. I'm saying TSMS is probably his best album because he's ripping off WYWH. The rest of his catalogue is done better by his contemporaries.
>>63564247
however ripped off from wywh is, it's still pretty good
camels first two albums or four really
soft machines first four albums
amon duul ii yeti
rick wakemans solo stuff
semiramis dedicado a frazz
comus first utterance
khan space shanty
food brain social gathering
>>63564283
No one is arguing with you on that. I'm arguing that he's not a great artist as a whole.
Meme Theater turned to shit after Six Degrees, but Images and Words through Six Degrees is pretty good.
>>63564004
Get into Unicorn Porn, start with the white stag, and move backwards into the more noisy more experimental stuff.
>>63564241
I just listened to The Mars Volta for the first time and Francis The Mute is probably my new favorite prog album
>>63564197
This tbqh senpai
>>63564365
have you heard the title track?
>>63564365
It's bonerriffic for sure. Try amputecture next.
>>63564322
then we are on agreement anon
>>63564225
I love this album so much. It's got such a warm feeling to it
>>63564180
That's not how you spell Heritage.
>>63564423
both are amazing
>>63564087
thats krautrock
>>63564443
Definitely. Pale Communion is more straightforward and less experimental though.
>>63564446
Krautrock is prog-rock. It's a blanket term used to describe German prog bands of the 70s.
>>63564386
no, I use a streaming service so it wasnt included
where can I hear it??
>>63564506

>>63564489
agreed anon
What's better: Close to the Edge or Fragile?
>>63564241
The title track in Close to the Edge is probably one of the greatest songs ever
>>63564615
thanks senpai you a real one fo that
>>63564639
CttE, is that even a question??
>>63564639
close to the edge
>>63564610
Wrong image wtf
>>63564651
i could've sworn i typed nigga instead of senpai, so thats weird
>>63564492
>Neu!
>Kraftwerk
>Cluster
>prog
krautrock does encompass plenty of prog, but it's beyond that
QUALITY PROG
Soft Machine - 1, 2, Third
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Alphataurus - s/t

Beggar's Opera - Act One
Brush!? - Brush!?

E.A. Poe - Generazioni
>>63564639
Fragile is good, no question, but CttE is one of the greatest albums of all time. The title track itself is insane.
Everyone's mentioned a lot of the good ones but pic related is also pretty good.
>>63564651
no worries dude, definitely check out Deloused and Amputechture since those two are pretty close to Frances in quality
>>63564679
Maybe it's just because the first track is so fucking amazing, but the other two songs are just pretty good to me. They're not bad, but they don't even come anywhere close to the title track
>>63564651
why dont people like fragile as much as close to the edge?
>>63564718
>they don't even come anywhere close to the title track
Maybe but Siberian Khatru is still an amazing track.
>>63564689
i was looking for stuff to rec and im surprised i forgot this one
>>63564731
It's not that people don't like Fragile but Close to the Edge is typically considered Yes's magnum opus.
>>63564718
And You And I is pretty fucking close to the title track in my opinion, Siberian Khatru is good but it's definitely more of a clumsy hard rock piece than prog at points.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT9VbeZmvAc
>>63564718
CttE (song) blows all of Fragile out of the water imo, although fragile is still a great prog album. The other songs on CttE are also fantastic but you're right they don't come close to the title track.
>>63564715
i wasnt as into Deloused for some reason, it just didnt have the same effect that frances did
>>63564675
Thanks for the recs famalam. I've never even heard Italian or French prog before.
>>63564816
thank Rick Rubin for that, he made them dumb it down and it's never been my favorite of their albums either
Amputechture has some great parts but there's a lot more stereotypical prog wankery on it.
These two songs are GOAT though:

Do you happen to have a link for this? I looked on WCD and I can't find it.
>>63564973
yes, let me fetch it right away
>>63564731
Because Fragile isn't as good as CttE. It's still good though.
>>63564949
Fuck yeah dude! I'm looking to find more prog to delve into, such interesting music to listen to.
>>63564954
Guthrie Govan is so good. I totally forgot about this band! Need to go listen to them now. I'd also love to see them live. Gotta keep an eye out.
>>63564973
