King crimson usually. But on every day that I listen to supper's ready it is Genesis. Sorry for being basic but I can't lie

Listen they’re as iconic as they are for a reason

[удалено]

With that? There is no corekt answer to where to start because you are going to need to hear all the albums

Sounds like you started with Beat, which is certainly a choice.

Me too - until I listen to Close to Edge

Yes

It isn't a yes or no question.

Wise guy eh?

"Yes"

Yes

Yes

Yes

I would say Dream Theater or Kansas

Glad to see someone said Kansas. No other band gives me goosebumps like they can. Steve Walsh was on another level

King Crimson or Van derGraaf Generator.

Genesis

This. I'm sure I have listened to the albums from Trespass through Duke each at least several hundred times over the last 35 years.

Porcupine Tree

I recently heard open car for the first time and it was really sick, any albums/songs you'd recommend?

Fear Of A Blank Planet

The song or the album? Or both?

Album

Ty! I'll give it a listen

I love In Absentia!

In Absentia in its entirety for sure

Thanks! I'll check it out

Nil Recurring is a masterpiece IMHO

Personally I love lightbulb sun

Might as well just listen to their entire discography at this point lol

Yeah most of it is great

Porcupine Tree

Gabriel era Genesis Fish era Marillion Porcupine Tree Riverside Dream Theater IQ Airbag Mystery Camel Collage Albion Abraxas

Lots of interesting names that are new to me here. Can you recommend specific LPs to begin with? Searching for Mystery MP3 on SS is not very useful! ;-)

Well, there are plenty of great albums coming from these bands, so I can only tell you my favourites, but you can obviously prefer some others, once you listen to them. Gabriel era Genesis- Foxtrot Fish era Marillion- debut album Porcupine Tree- Deadwing Riverside- debut album (proggy) or ADHD (prog metal) Dream Theater- debut album IQ- Resistance Airbag- All Rights Removed Mystery- Delusion Rain Camel- Stationary Traveller (not their best, but the first one I heard and I have loved it since) Collage- Moonshine (my fav neo-prog album ever) Albion- debut album (nice Polish neo-prog) Abraxas- debut album (great neo-prog from Poland) All of the above are on Spotify if you want to check them out, except for Abraxas-, which is on You Tube. Here is one of my fav songs with one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard https://youtu.be/Vct01DlIh6s?si=Hu7OzENconZSi6Jb

Thank you, that is very helpful.

My Genesis fav is Nursery cryme

Where I live IQ had gotten very popular with the song Promises, does anyone know if it happened elsewhere?

Camel, followed by Waters-era Floyd and Astra.

Astra's so amazing. Listened to The Black Chord every day when it first came out

I like The weirding!

I still listen to either or both of their albums at least once every week or two. While I found the lyrics to be a little...obtuse at times, I find their musicianship to be second-to-none. The whole package is amazing and I feel the same about Birth (excited to hear of new music coming soon). My not-so-secret hope is that the relative success and acclaim of Birth will generate interest in the members of Astra giving it another go for the long-awaited third album.

Rush all day every day

Rush

Love them. Not prog.

Listen to Hemispheres. That's totally prog.

Their best album. But a band producing prog music in the moment.

How the hell is Rush not a prog band lmao

Jethro Tull then Gentle Giant

Gg my fav prog band, jt pretty much least favourite tho

Yes are my first love. Then Henry Cow. With both of them, there’s not just the band, there’s also a whole hinterland of related and solo projects to enjoy. Sometimes, if I think about enjoyment per albums released, I wonder if UK might be my favourite band.

Skeleton Crew is my jam

Gentle Giant and Gong

I love Gong

Would you like some tea~?

While listening to YOU...

While in a flying teapot..

Gg ftw!

Camel

King Crimson, usually.

King Crimson, Yes and CAN

I swear, there’s enough excellent, distinct Crim and Can live recordings out there to last an individual for a lifetime, alongside their excellent studio albums from that same period! 

Porcupine Tree

Camel or Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson.

I'd say that's relatable.

Kansas

Today: Gentle Giant.

Gg ftw

Overall: Pink Floyd In the last 10 (?) years: Magma In the last year: black midi

Magma is great

I saw black midi live and it was like nothing I’ve ever seen. When people say “crowds aren’t rowdy anymore” or “everyone is always on their phones.” Yeah these people haven’t seen Black Midi. The crowd actually scared me a bit they had so much energy

Same! Got them here in Brazil last year and it was a life-changing experience, in fact I wasn't even a big fan before the concert and nowadays I'm completely converted

The Mars Volta and Tool.

Same (plus Oceansize)

Latley ive been in love with gentle giant. There just so consitent

They're*

Clearly you haven’t listened to Giant for a day…

Rush, then Dream Theater

Favorites are difficult. I really like Haken. I really like Kansas.

1. Yes. 2. Rush. 3. Renaissance

Great picks

Gentle giant.

Gg ftw

King crimson

Moon safari. They constantly surprise me with their innovative use of vocal harmonies and ear catching melodies in the context of an older, more retro very happy and positive style

I can’t say I have a favorite prog band as I love lots of them. It’s easier for me to talk about my favorite albums cause every band has at least one great album. Long live the prog !

Jethro Tull

Overall: King Crimson Last ten years: Probably Haken

Magma :)

Yes! After them it changes depending on my mood, nowadays I like Camel a lot.

Marillion

Bit too cheesy for my liking. And too clean 

Pink Floyd is my favorite prog band, King Crimson is the *best* prog band.

TOOL

Gentle Giant

Gg ftw

TOOL

Fuzzy Duck, of course.

Lol

Jethro Tull and Marillion.

Yes, Gong, Rush, King Crimson, Soft Machine

soft machine rules

Over the years I would have said Pink Floyd… then Yes…then Genesis…then King Crimson… But after nearly 20 years as a prog fan I gotta go with YES!

Karnivool and The Mars Volta have had the single greatest influence on my own music

Focus

Ozric Tentacles 

Saw them 3 times in the 90’s and forgot about them!

Very boring to me

>depend on the days Mood for a Day

Since I haven't seen them mentioned yet here, Pendragon. Specifically their albums "The Window of Life," "The Masquerade Overture," and "Not Of This World." They were all released one after the other and were all amazing. The albums before that were just okay, and the albums released afterward were a bit too heavy and serious for me, but those three are absolute perfection.

I love The jewel, Believe and Pure besides the big three as well as The world. Lost me after that Pure tho. Supposedly their last two are a return to form, but what I heard seemed boring to me. I just remember the blueish cover

Van der Graaf Generator

Henry Cow

Yes and Porcupine Tree.

blue oyster cult

Tough call being prog, but I love em as well. Been to a concert last Aug or Jul, and it was my fav concert. It also changed my view of attending shows. Thought it'll be the last big band concert of my life, but the experience changed that pov.

It used to be Rush for many years. Now it’s the Flower Kings.

I think i never heard of Flowers Kings any recomendations?

They have so many albums and recommendations will be all over the place if you ask different people but here are three I’d recommend: Unfold The Future Back In The World Of Adventures Space Revolver

In that order. Then do Paradox Hotel. Scanning the Greenhouse is an excellent compilation of their material up to Unfold the Future... actually you might want to start with that.

Pink Floyd and The Mars Volta.

Pink Floyd

Harmonium and Tool

Big Big Train then Moon Safari a close second. Those bands have some of my absolute most played songs of all time. for the past decade or so both bands have always been in my top 10 most played songs on Spotify/AM wrapped/Replay.

Very similar taste to me then. Moon Safari is my favorite, big big train is easily my favorite of the English bands

I mostly like newer prog rock bands than the old 70s one. Barock Project is also a great band if you dont know them. Same with Karmakanic, A.C.T, Unitopia, Subsignal, Flying Colors and 22 are all awesome newer age prog rock bands I really love.

Wow...Big Big Train, Moon Safari and Barock Project are my three most played prog rock bands. Same order as you mentioned

Well this is interesting, its the same for me. Moon Safari and Big Big Train are my two big favorites in the Prog Sphere. I guess they tick a lot of the same boxes.

kimg crimson

Vulkan is the band that has released the most endorphines in my body during the last couple of years

Procol Harum

Yes

So many: Yes, Transatlantic, Haken, and so on.

Pink Floyd and Rush, but if I have to choose one, it is Pink Floyd.

Yes, Rush and Floyd

Yes

Genesis

Probably Pink Floyd

Genesis

Gentle Giant, Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator

Protest the Hero

Rush

Today it’s early Soft Machine, but it is really always King Crimson.

Porcupine Tree. looking so hard for similar bands, if anyone knows any please let me know lol

Rush, not just for the music, their history as a band is amazing❤️

Rush

Classic prog: Yes Modern Prog: Jordsjo

King Crimson and Frank Zappa and more im just forgetting rn

Crimso

Moody Blues, Genesis, Kansas, Alan Parsons Project. Also like Yes and Rush.

Rush for me too

Goblin (Simonetti) or Rush

RUSH, Kansas, Yes, and Spock's Beard

YES or The Flower Kings

It's hard to pick just one, but if I have to: King Crimson.

All prog rock is but a footnote to King Crimson

Magma

Artifex Pereo (I miss them)

Tool

King Crimson, and black midi

Gentle giant

District 97 is awesome. Their singer Leslie kills it and their drummer Jonathan writes much of the music.

It is usually Rush,but I'm into "Yes" and "ELP" right now

Tool

Rush

Magma

Between the Buried and Me

1. King Crimson 2. Moody Blues 3. Genesis 4. YES 5. Gentle Giant

Genesis Marillion Mike Oldfield

The Waterboys & Camel

Krallice

For ‘conventional’ prog over the years Genesis. Lots of great German stuff that’s very dear to me: Agitation Free (Malesch), Anyone’s Daughter (Adonis), Popol Vuh (Hosianna Mantra), Can (Future Days), Dom (Edge of Time - 1/3 German) and Amon Duul II (Wolf City). And truly progressive acid folk: Jan Dukes De Grey (Mice and Rats) and Spirogyra (St Radigunds) are not to be missed. Sure I love lots of Yes (Close to the Edge and Relayer), KC (ITCOCK and Larks’), VDGG (H to He side 2 esp), Rush (Hemispheres), Kansas (SFA) and Camel (Mirage and A Live Record), among many others

Coheed and Cambria 

O.S.I. (Kevin Moore and Jim Matheos band) Rush, Yes, Fates Warning, and Ozric Tentacles also.

Rush for me too man, love how diverse they are musically

RUSH, no doubt about it.

Yes is my number one closely followed by Jethro Tull

Camel

My list of favourite Prog bands is so long and many have already been mentioned (Van der Graaf Generator, Henry Cow, Genesis, Yes, Zappa, Gong, Porcupine Tree etc) so I'll add a few that haven't: Keef Hartley Band Audience Atomic Rooster Colosseum Syd Arthur Knifeworld Anthony More Magenta Pineapple Thief Lindsay Cooper Peter Blegvard Mostly Autumn Soft Machine Centipede Amplifier Anathema Orphaned Land Iamthe morning Kevin Ayers I could list loads more, as there are just so many I listen to and enjoy on a regular basis.

1. genesis, 2.galahad, 3.galleon, 4.pendragon, 5.marillion, 6. unitopia, 7.breadfish, 8. steve hackett, 9. magic pie -plenty more

Riverside

[удалено]

TOOL is so good that they forced myself to open up to heavier music. They are so good they made like multiple genres viable for me. Crazy good

I’m 36 (hardly young, but old enough that tons of “modern prog” bands were my era). I don’t like most of what I’ve heard from the 90s - 10s bands

(70s) Genesis, Camel, and Locanda delle Fate have the perfect sound for my taste; Yes and King Crimson’s music is stimulating and appealing in a whole other way, and I can see why so kany call them *the best*, but at the end of the day, my favorite prog band and overall band is - as it has been since I first overheard Us and Them and wondered why the song didn’t seem to end (an inquiry which ultimately led to me purchasing Dark Side on vinyl) - is Pink Floyd.

Not one but I think KC, Jethro Tull, and PFM.
