This is where prog died
>>64644671
that's a pretty solid album even with all its filler
pic related is what actually killed prog
but it's not dead
>>64644701
Nah. It was a valiant effort but what really killed prog was pic related.
Except good prog albums continued to get made, even today.
The whole punk killed prog thing was a myth and didn't make sense anyway since prog wasn't even mainstream when punk broke out.
>>64644793
>good prog albums continued to get made, even today.
Can we get some examples?
>>64644701
but the entire album is just one big filler
>>64644872
The discipline trilogy wasn't released till the 80's its not all that recent but prog stayed around for a while, it just got a little poppier before DT came and sucked the soul out of it.
>>64644872
Gazpacho desu senpai
>>64645097
If Gazpacho are prog then Coldplay are prog
>>64644753
What are you talking about
Prog rock was already dead by then
>>64644671
Kinda sad since the album right before this is still the best thing to ever come out of prog.
How does one go from making an album where each an every second of it had purpose to one with so much filler?
>>64644701
Punk didn't kill prog, prog was already dying on its own. Punk was more an effect of the death of prog.

nice meme
Best prog album of 2016 coming through.

Didn't Steve Wilson already release an album this year?
>>64646734
My case still stands
>>64646734
4 1/2 is decent, but its definitely not the best prog album of the year.
>>64646333
>"Leave AOTY to me, anon"
>>64646734
It was just leftovers from his last 2 albums, even he doesn't consider it a full album
>>64644793
After December 1973?
U.K.'s self-titled.
Pink Floyd's Animals
King Crimson's Red, Starless and Bible Black, and Discipline
Eloy's Ocean
Camel's The Snow Goose
Van der Graaf Generator's Godbluff and Still Life
being made today? Nothing, it's all shit.
>>64647013
Let's not drone RYM TOO hard now anon, there are some good avant-prog, avant-meme-teen records being released.
I still think Ozric Tentacles made a load of good Prog Rock albums and the good ones came out as late as the early 90s.
>>64647042
They're new-agebient
Every song sounds the same too!
>>64644753
Fuck I hate that album so much.
>>64647033
epic, my friend. I'm feeling a decent to strong 9 on your meme magic
>>64647057
Yeah they do all sound the same, just because it formulaic doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. I'm not saying it's great, I'm just saying they made good music.
The Power To Believe is a great prog album and it came out in 2003
>>64644753
why are supergroups always such garbage?
>>64644671
Yes is for plebs, same as Rush.
>>64644671
You seem to've forgot 'Relayer' was made after 'TfTO', not before.
>>64649742
this.
>>64648643
>formulaic
>prog
hmmm...
>>64649742
Yes might be for plebs but this is the best prog album, nothing surpases it (though some PF and KC do equal it).
>>64650023
>this is the best prog album
It's the best if you're a pleb and haven't listened to much prog.
>>64650079
You're kidding right? This is the most beautiful album in existence. Its cheesy and dated, sure, but its fucking beautiful. Also the first 4 minutes are blistering.
>>64650113
No, I'm serious as a heart attack.
The band is overrated. Seek more music.
>>64648848
True
>>64646333
True, since not much prog came out this year.
>>64650023
True, definitely one of the best prog albums ever and the best Yes album for sure.
>>64650185
>the band is overrated
I was talking about the album you fuckwit
>>64650023
I prefer Fragile but yeah, it's one of the best prog albums.
with KC's Lark's tongues in Aspic and Discipline, and IMO, Genesis' Nursery Cryme
>>64650215
Both the band, and the album are overrated.
Seek more music.
>>64650185
>>64650215
Also i'm 90% sure I've listened to more prog that you. Fucking Henry Cow fans are such fucking plebs.
>>64644753
Asia is one of the worst bands ever.
>>64650236
this
>>64650235
nope, the album is a 10/10
>>64650236
>Also i'm 90% sure I've listened to more prog that you
I'm sure you have. Doesn't change the fact that Yes is still overrated pleb gateway prog
>>64650231
What about Mirage? And Selling England by the Pound > Nursery Crime
>>64650023
>>64650113
>>64650186
'CttE' is very well-executed, but -- it's not even overlistening, it's just too point-A-to-point-B. I would definitely take 'Sound Chaser' over it.
>>64650231
Nice to see some love for NC.
>>64650262
Yes is gateway prog
Yes is arguably "pleb" (that being said it definitely doesn't fit the style of music I like)
Yes is an overrated band
however, CTTE is the epitome of prog
>>64650285
>>64650231
Never could get into Genesis outside of Winds and Wuthering and SEbtP.
Most good prog are either by the well-known surface level prog artists (usually only a few specific albums from each, KC notwithstanding) or the extremely obscure artists from France and Austria and stuff. The middle ground artists are usually trash, obscure prog from England or the US is usually trash, and as prog bands got older they almost always ran out of ideas.
Is CTTE the best vocal performance of all time?
>>64650580
On prog? dunno, but its pretty friggin good. The album is very well polished
