The only progressive band I ever checked out and actually loved were Pink Floyd until 2 days ago i checked out some band named "Genesis" & was completely blown away. Every new song put a smile on my face and their concept album "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" definitely has to be one of the best concept albums to ever be released. I'm suprised that I have never heard of these guys before especially since their work is great from 69-80 :] I didn't really care for the commercial sound they were going for in the 80's but all their theme albums were impeccable.....Pink Floyd & Genesis are my favorite progressive rock bands, What is yours?

Porcupine Tree is pretty good. Not too into prog though. Too much wankery, and I tend to gravitate towards stuff that gets right to the point.

For some reason I like the Rush and Yes side of progressive more than the Genesis and Pink Floyd side of it. I don't have a favorite band, if I had to put something on I'm likely to play something more contemporary like Coheed Cambria or Dream Theater.

Is Pink Floyd really prog?

To me, they're a psychedelic band that got really popular with their own thing. Plus, none of the guys in Floyd (other than Rick Wright) had the chops to stand up to, say, Yes, or King Crimson, or CAN. They were basically a 4X4 blues/rock band with grand ideas. And this is to their eternal credit: the idea behind what they did was always more important than how they did it.

But for Prog proper: Yes does it for me. I think the Relayer album is THE apex of prog!

Van der Graaf Generator, no doubt. Their lead singer & main songwriter Peter Hammill is one of the most original musicians England has ever produced. Kinda like a cross between a sensitive singer-songwriter and a raving madman.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Great thread, NewGuy.

Don't get me wrong, but saying "some band named Genesis" is like saying "some band named The Beatles"  LOL!  Genesis was everywhere in the '80's, as big as Michael Jackson, almost.  In the 80's, you couldn't get away from Michael or Genesis.  (Before your time I know.)

I laughed anyway.   Grin

I'm sure you know by now that "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" was the Peter Gabriel-Genesis, and Genesis of the '80's was the Phil Collins-Genesis.  I love "Turn It On Again", "Paperlate", "Throwing It All Away" and "Invisible Touch" (even though I am a Peter Gabriel-solo fan.)

In fact, check out some Peter Gabriel to see how "progressive" evolved!

Genesis Rocks!

Phil Collins retired from music after he severely injured his back on their final tour.
