Prog rock

I have seen a few threads in regards to other music styling but no prog!
So I may be alone here but if not tell me your prog elite!

For me it began with Dream.Theater around six degrees of inner turbulence. From there; deadsoul tribe, evergrey, pain of salvation, spock's beard, ayreon, katatonia and piety (I think they fit), at the drive-in, the mars Volta, 32 leaves, sarcoma, animals as leaders, township, beard fish, between the buried and me, procuring tree, the butterfly effect, nectar, cog, dinosaur Jr., diorama, dredg, fates warning, iamx, ism, karnivool, lunatic soul, riverside, marillian, the Mayan factor, Madison, minus the bear, mostly Autumn, nevermore, portis head, psychotic waltz, quidam, Rishloo, spiritual beggars, strata, symphony x, tyr, vanden plas, Warren Dane,
Then the obvious ELO, YES, pink Floyd... Etc.

Some are soft some.metal but I would consider all to he progressive and experimental

Tool

Opeth

 

Me too, which is why I immediately, and accidentally, saw your user name as a King Crimson reference. (Island record label, Lizzard)

Just as mine is a sneaky Gong reference mixed in with an old user name of mine.

 

the Jesus Lizard
VoiVod
Saint VITUS (sort of)

 

Some of my favorites:

Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine
Tool - Pu**** (Salival version)
A Perfect Circle - A Stranger
Puscifer - Green Valley
At The Drive In - Non Zero Possibility
The Mars Volta - Cassandra Gemini
King Crimson - The Court of the Crimson King
Circa Survive - House of Leaves
The Sound of Animals Fighting - This Heat
El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Cryptomnesia

 

Really!? You can't mention prog rock without mentioning Rush it's like sacrilegious or something

 

Your list reads like a list of some of my favorites, though there are a few I don't recognize.

Getting heavy rotation on my sound system: Crimson, ELP, Yes, Focus, Gentle Giant, Tull, Gabriel-era Genesis, Nektar, Mike Oldfield, ELO, Frank Zappa, Rush, Marillion, Camel, Caravan, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Eloy, Crack The Sky, Greenslade, Kayak, Egg, Gong, Can, Hawkwind, Triumvirat, Kansas, Dream Theater, Jade Warrior, Klaus Schulze, Moody Blues ("core 7" albums), Hatfield and the North, PFM, Banco, Rick Wakeman...

Check out Wobbler, a Norwegian prog band that has a strong early '70s ELP/Yes/Crimson influence. They use only instruments that were prevalent during the era. First time I listened to them, I had to look at the copyright date on the CD case to make sure it wasn't 1972. Good stuff.

 

I've been reading through this thread going wait....wha...where....WTF....NO RUSH????

 

I must say I am glad to see the prog group is alive and well. Also it was a sneaky way for me to find new bands. Also, I do apologize for leaving out Rush!

I did the same thing. I'm always on the lookout for something I've never heard. Or heard of.

 

It is so good to see prog rockers out there. We like to stay in the shadows and enjoy the flow of the music. Not too many I talk to like this style of tunes.
I have been listening to OSI, Flying Colors, Winery Dogs, and much of what has already been mentioned.
Check out morow-dot-com. Lots of interesting tunes there. This is my go to station.
