Rules

Finally listened to them and I'm blown away. Not sure why I put it off for so long.

I enjoyed a few songs off of Yes' Open Your Eyes, don't get me wrong, a lot of the songs on there are hot garbage, but I personally like The Solution, New State of Mind, Open Your Eyes, and Universal Garden.

Accidentally stumbled across Henge's promo for their new release Journey to Voltus B:

Not sure it's exactly prog but certainly seems to be prog adjacent.

🔥INTERVIEW🔥I was lucky enough to spend time in the company of artist Mark Wilkinson, to talk about his work with Marillion, Fish, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden among many other bands. We also spoke about 2000AD, Monsters of Rock and his plans for the future. It was an enjoyable and fascinating interview.

Hi all, I love Seru Giran and Invisible. Wondering if ya’ll know about any other great Spanish language proggy or jazzy rock groups from the 70s. Muchas Gracias amigos !!!!

I honestly have no idea where to start. I am very picky about vocalists so its hard for me to just delve into the popular stuff. Some voices i like are Ian Mackaye in Fugazi (one of my absolute faves, also just like him as a person), Keith Buckley from ETID, Andrew Herman from Johnny booth, and Marc Paffi from Bear vs Shark. The only prog ish stuff ive really listened to is Ling Tosite Sigure (fave songs by them are Ef, sadistic summer, this is is this), and my best friend is really into tool and a perfect circle and i like quite a bit of it, though i preferred a perfect circle. I liked 3 libras a lot. Thanks a lot for any recs🙏🙏

One of the best if not the best video in the Drumeo Channel.

They're one of the bands that really got me into fusion as they have a lot of prog overlap and are just all around incredible.

Their first album is from 1992 and they've put out like 30+ albums covering a huge range of styles, but they really shine live and easily rank up their with some of the greatest bands of all time IMO: DIMENSION LIVE ~10th Anniversary

One interesting thing about them is they're technically a trio of guitar/sax/keys that plays with session bassists/drummers, so while their lineup changes a lot their core members have incredible synergy. Sadly the original keyboardist Akira Onozuka left in 2020 but his replacement does a good job matching his style and all 3 members have put out some great solo albums + collaborations with other brilliant Japanese musicians.

They've done some recent reunion concerts as well most recently in 2022 and their guitarist especially Takashi Masuzaki somehow just keeps getting better and better: DIMENSION Live Dimensional 2022 ~30th Anniversary Special

They've put out so much music their style really covers a bit of everything from smooth/funky jazz to really heavy over the top experimental stuff, and part of what makes their live shows so fun to watch is how eclectic their songs are despite being consistently epic.

Grew up on prog bands like Yes and ELP, and symphonic metal bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation. I'm always looking for something that scratches both itches at the same time.

I'm looking for longer, more complex pieces with powerful, clean vocals, preferably with female vocalists (though if a male singer is really good I wouldn't say no). Link some of your favorite songs if you've got any that fit the bill!

It doesnt have to be just prog rock/metal songs, but in my list i am going to be mentioning many from that umbrella though.

1. Queen - Who wants to live forever (i loved the Highlander tv series in the 90s)
2. Dreamscape - Farewell
3. Yes - Changes
4. Pink Floyd - High Hopes
5. Arena - Tears in the Rain
6. Alice Cooper - Might Aswell Be On Mars
7. Whitesnake - Looking for Love
8. The Scorpions - Send me an Angel
9. Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes (any song that makes me fight back tears when listening to it, is worthy of being here)
10. W.E.T. - Comes Down Like Rain
11. Pretty Maids - Savage Heart
12. Threshold - Innocence (this one is definitely Glynns song)
13. Savatage - Believe
14. Lionel Richie - Climbing
15. Dan Lucas - Music is the Enemy of War (he won Germany's version of The Voice; Seniors, in 2018)

The aesthetic of older prog bands was definitely grubbier; I know some of this was recording techniques/using real ambience etc. Stuff from the early 70s etc (eg Yes, Magma, Nucleus, Aphrodite' Child) was obviously played with incredible skill, but also was presented in a more homogeneous tone. Sounds like a band/singers rather than super clean/seperated modernity.

What's good these days that is both progressive and doesn't fear grubbiness?

For lovers of the Canterbury style with a fresh 2025 face. Accompanied by Jazz-Fusion band Haltad.
