What would be homo prog then???
marillion, steven wilson, that kind of thing
This cover is better than the original.
it only works if you know the original. think about it.
Woul dhave been good to have on the inside sleeve of DSOTM or something, but without the coloured rfracted light on the other side as a reference, OP's pic kind means nothing, it;s just graphic design because nothing indicates that's that's a prism
What's some prog for sex havers like Roxy Music?

Holy Shit
it actually makes more sense because colors don't exist.

stop making a mockery of this guy's death, what the fuck is wrong with you?
prog for thinking fellers?
Where can I download DVD rip footage of Magma concerts, like the Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré Trilogie?
dark gothic prog?
Orne
Which is their best prog album?
rutracker
Neat.
call me retarded but were voivod really big enough to get a game?
I'm not gonna call you retarded but aesthetically I definitely see it working. Voivod had, if anything, really cool art and characters.
Quintus
I don't know. It does really look like someone's passion project, doesn't it? Maybe someone in the dev team pitched it to them personally and they agreed to colab.
maybe five of those are prog at most. also it's ice death
I'll never forgive him for what he did to based Wyatt

Thank you for your worthless post, friend.
I must be filtered. This sounds like ass.
Pretty much as soon as I was born. The piano lead from Wait for Sleep is practically burnt into my brain, when I revisited the album and got to the song it was like getting struck by lightning. Thanks dad.
Don't give up Anon.

We need more prog about the Alamo

honestly it's kind of a mediocre ambient album, it is a masterpiece though, if only because of how influential and important it was, but Discreet Music, Evening Star, On Land, The Pearl, Apollo & Thursday Afternoon are all better.

No. Start with the Portsmouth Sinfonia
Shan't be listening. Brian Eno sucks balls.
HCWJ is a great answer but if you don't quite "get it", maybe you need to go back further to Roxy Music (which actually IS prog at least the early era) featuring eno working behind the scenes to set atmosphere with his weird methods rather than being the frontman (reserved by another bryan)

Thank you to the Canadian who is seeding this beautiful beast.
For a prog album in 2025, is still impressive
Anybody know a good thread for Music ID’ing? I have this mystery song from “The New York Ripper” 1982 that plays at a sex club here, plot relevant and not listed in the ending credits/any soundtrack release, Sounds like it has too high production to be a low effort one off and the lyrics are a bit hard to understand, anybody wanna look?

Sorry about the annoyance
shut him down and ultimately fired him from the band he helped create over petty reasons
Brian Eno is prog rock? Never would have guessed.
everything is prog rock except prog metal
Am I prog rock?
Well, are you prog metal?
Well my friends call me a tool :(
Tool is actually Prog Rock with post-metal influence, not prog metal
Huh. Honestly didn't expect to learn anything after making a shitty tool pun.
Funny thing with jazz is how there are different solo albums with the exact same crew. Unclear why or how they pick who’s the leader
Usually the leader just wrangles together as many of his friends as are available to form a combo, or the producer sets them up. They have different working bands for live shows.
Glam/art rock then shitty ambient

this album is so goofy yet strangely beautiful at times. magma is such a trip as a first time listener. seems to me so far you're guaranteed to get something cool and memorable with each record no matter what.
thank you /prog/ for introducing me to these madlads
Bad album art
Tool is progressive post-grunge
I like Tool. Perhaps the only palatable progressive metal I actually enjoy.
caring about charts in 2025
It's actually pretty impressive for a prog album in 2025 to chart this high. I haven't listened to the album (mostly because I hate Steven Wilson for his many, many shitty remixes of classic albums), but it is still impressive to be that high on the charts.
I hate this bald pervert

They lose me the second the stupid black metal shrieking starts - no wait that’s oranssi pazuzu… or both?
Holy shit
I regret not buying this the other day when I saw it for like $12.
It does feel like it's missing something but if any other band besides Floyd released it it would be considered a forgotten masterpiece.
This is still the blind spot in my Pink Floyd knowledge
It's alright. First two tracks are incredible but so misleading because it just turns into formless drone nonsense for 90% of it's runtime. Could have been one of the coolest zeuhl albums ever if it kept up the momentum of the first two tracks.
I don't think there's really any black metal shrieking in that album.
Just listened to Red for the first time. It's good. Very good.
Much better than Pourt of the Crimshit. Ping. Less of the faggy flutes and shit, more ominous sounding metal stuff. Very good. Very, very good

No I won't kill myself
Ok have a nice day
Its 8.30pm here. Thanks for the sentiment nevertheless
people who hold this opinion do not like prog
what is "liking prog" anyway
I think a good barometer is liking the grandfather of prog rock and one of the finest pieces of prog rock ever made
I genuinely don't understand hearing I Talk To the Wind and not instantly realizing you're listening to a peak human creation
Whatever you say big man
throws the studio disc in the bin
now this is a bloody fine pf release, innit?
Its gay music for women. Flute is the most homosexual instrument you can play. Probably imagine themselves slurping on a dick when they play it
Yeah I already got that from but it doesn't answer the question
Prog liker here
Lark's, Red, Discipline, etc >>> Itchy Cock, Poseidon, Lizard
What was going on here
So did we ever decide on which Touhou is the /prog/hu? I think Ran is the proggest.
Difficult question, there are canonical sources (album arts, promotional graphics) supporting both.
Duh

Listened to The Wall in it's entirety for the first time. God damn it's good.
Roger you post on 4channel?
I could never get into it. I've tried many times at many points in my life because while I love PF, The Wall has just always felt too bloated. There's a good album in there but as a whole it's never done it for me. I'd put it towards the bottom half of Floyds discography.
Unironically you might (((get))) it eventually. I never understood what was so great about it until like 2 decades after I first heard it the first time. Truly an impressive feat.
I may watch the film tonight. I have nothing else to do and I'm already kinda drunk.
The live album is good too (maybe even better).
music is great on there
i used to watch the movie all the time when i was young, it's a bit baffling to think about now. but i think i connected through the movie more than the album
Roger is exclusively Anon Babbleestine.
Is it prog?
it's Superprog - Prog of the Century
used to be that was the other album than Dark Side Of The Moon they used in hi-fi stores to show off speakers and amps
I don't get it
I thought that was Brothers in Arms people used to do that

B-B-B-BUT MUH LYRICS!
it's surreal seeing the movie after only listening to the album on its own for so long.... i think im gonna keep doing that, this was lame as fuck lol
it's close to being perfect. i cannot understand why they cut hey you. not only is it the best track after comfortably numb, it's pretty relevant to the plot as well.
There is a movie adaptation of an IQ's album but I don't know if it's any good
Acknowledge Kansas
Kansas, like Foreigner or Journey, is a great band but definitely not prog
More evidence that zeuhl is not a real genre.
Kansas and early Journey are undeniably prog. Foreigner was never prog.
favourite prog song?
definitely Any Way You Want It
Foreigner
great
Also Kansas is prog

jesus fucking christ fripp
the truth is they were all geniuses, syd too
I remember when Richard died it was the final end of Pink Floyd, not that they had been anything in decades
but was nice Nick, David, and Roger acknowledged the end
I love the entirety of them from the mid 60s to early 90s live. The variety, innovation, and professionalism throughout is to be commended
Proggybumps and listenin to League of Gentlemen
BALLY HOO!
This
Pink Floyd was the sum of its parts, not just a "creative genius" doing all the work.
The best proof of this is their solo discographies. None of them ever made anything as relevant as what they did with when they were working together.
Why does Steven Wilson make Anon Babble seethe so much?
I watched The Wall last night on an anons recc here
I dont know if I liked it or hated it but I did enjoy the movie more than the album
why are we not talking about King Crimson? what the fuck happened to this general?
Why do you care so much? Who really gives a fuck?
It's just weird some people hate on him so much
He's kinda pretentious but his music is not
Based. Queens will play and Bright Lights are also peak
some Porcupine Tree albums are good but most of his solo shit is just >muh technicality with no soul or emotion, and i hate shitting on things for being technical, but in this case it's justified, same for Marillion or any other nostalgia prog band, it's funny, cause the same hipster types that shit on ELP for being "technical wankery" will like Steven Wilson, at least ELP had some emotion and their music was somewhat unique.
It's just weird some people hate on him so much
Welcome to the world, anon.
I think only Grace For Drowning and parts of Raven are overly technical, he has also made like 3 prog pop albums now
Also speaking of wankery, have you listened to The Aristocrats with Govan and Minnemann? It's pirely technical but in a fun playful way
They hate on him because he is popular, same with Opeth, Dream Theater and Tool
We talked about king crimson for months on end. It's time for a change.

This is how Steven Wilson haters looks like btw
Steven Wilson raped my album mixes.
He doesn't have enough "street cred" (ask the blacks in your neighborhood what that is).
He is respected by a lot of classic prog artists and collaborated with Fripp or Ian Anderson
Ask the blacks in your neighborhood how they feel about Fripp or Ian Anderson.
Mariusz Duda > Steven Wilson
what do the blacks in my neighborhood think of KÅenjihyakkei?
The blacks said you're a faggot.

Now that we can't say Animals is the best Floyd album which one /prog/¿
Wall 2nd half > WYWH > Meddle > Wall >= Dark Side > Wall 1st half > Animals
But skipping the setup doesn't make The Wall better so Wish You Were Here is the better overall album
And Echoes their best song
But Animals is the best Pink Floyd animal.
Roger is a better animal (horse)
Wall 2nd half
But the first is better?
first half is better in singles but i have yet to find a double album with pay-offs as satisfying as the wall's 2nd half, it's what makes the small interludes worth it and ties the whole thing together
pretty much every double album i've heard is worth it's length
.
really now? keeping it prog, tales from topographic is just 4 songs and 666 has a couple of callbacks tacked on all the seats were occupied
both are great and are also "worth their length" in my opinion but it's not the same you know
not the same as what?
it's like every song, apart from providing context are also building up to the breakdown that will happen in the second half. so in other albums if you take out a song you could make it worse by messing up the pacing or missing lore but you could also make it better subjectively if you think it's unimportant or filler. in the wall i feel like if you take out a song the wall is gonna be missing bricks by the time it all comes crumbling down
it's hard to explain
It almost makes it the whole way, but unfortunately runs out of steam after Slippermen.
it falls off immediately after disc 1.
Disc 2 > Disc 1
hmmm yes.....
side 4 > side 1 > side 2 > side 3 (3 is still really good though)
please don't post that stuff on my comfy prog thread man
but Koenjihyakkei is amazing. i think it's the best Yoshida's ever done which is saying something
favorite tune from them?
Burning Bridges is phenomenal. Wish Rick had more leads
Stay is also fantastic.
What is Kita doing?
frippertronics
holy shit, it's.. it's...
shit
shit
recommend me some really obscure Prog albums, like shit literally nobody has ever heard.
Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd
wow thanks, never heard of this band.
now this is exactly the type of shit i was looking for, thanks.
Prog from my homeland (NE Ohio)

i think country is better than prog
which country?
country rock
never heard of a it, where is it located?
you should try Prog Country then.
any Country-Zeuhl?
i posted this a few threads back, i found it first.
Holy Shit
any /prog/ bands with heavy distorted bass like in Wetton era KC or Magma's Udu Wudu? currently listening to The Great Deceiver live albums and this shit is tastyyyy
pic unrelated
Ruins, Korekyojinn, Univers Zero
anything similar to 2010s Swans but prog?
decent.

Oh neat, someone else from NEO. Hello fellow 330 friend.
well fuck me for leaving my house to go see a Genesis tribute band
opens with some of their 1983 album
"ok guys we know some of you want to hear it - we got some deep cuts for you!"
proceeds to play One for the Vine off Wind & Wuthering
ok ok not bad I prefer Trick of the Tail for my Collins but OK
proceeds to play a shit load of Abacab and Invisible Touch
"ok now some of you anons may remember this but there's actually a guy Peter Gabriel that was previously in Genesis"
oh thank fuck they're gonna go right into Watching of the Skies or some cool shit
proceeds to play Solsbury Hill
mfw
Did anyone around you look displeased?
Kek
na people had a great time honestly, the crowd really enjoyed it. what've I've learned about this kinda stuff is that I need to learn to appreciate these tribute bands since once the 60 years olds pass away the tribute bands will die out with them. The only way I can experience live Yes, Genesis, Steely Dan etc is through these tribute bands so beggars can't be choosers and I'll take what I can get. I'm just being silly to get some (You)s, it was a good show but god damn I do NOT like any Genesis after Duke and that has been reinforced
Should watch Musical Box (the band) if they play near you. They pretty much only play Gabriel Era stuff with the original props.
Is this prog?
thanks I saw them hell over ten years ago at one of the this Yestival and they were great. I've come to appreciate Genesis even more since then so I need to see them again. That Yestival was awesome by the way. why can't we get more stuff like this? I wonder if Cruise to the Edge is still a thing - a cruise ship with smelly prog nerds? sign me up
Great Italian zeuhl right there.
I'd recommend Dün and Potemkine
Also, it's worth listening to Magma's live album Bourges, 1979. The bass on there is killer.
