Progressive Rock - Psychadelic Galaxies in 7/4 Time - General

[QUOTE=AK'z;29545854]I don't really know any people who love jazz like I do.. I do know a few prog fans though. Some are more into symphonic stuff though as compared to the "free improvisation" stuff that I like :3:[/QUOTE] Actually, now that I think about it, my mother is a Pink Floyd fan. :v: But I think that's it.

Okay punks. I'm gonna give this a listen. [img]http://images.wax.fm/emerson_lake_palmer_love_beach-SD19211-1221037308.jpeg[/img] :smug:

Carl Palmer in that picture makes me crack up. :v:

Still haven't listened to it yet. I'm holding back until I'm ready :3:

your body is not ready for Palmer's hairy chest

Listened to Black Moon this morning, I can understand why people saw it as a strong comeback. It's good. Also I listened to the 13 Pink Floyd studio albums I have yesterday, in chronological order :rock:

Quiztime: What song initially got you curious about a prog band or the prog genre? [Media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JQOSB8TeAs[/media] Not even too dense prog, but from there I got heavily into porcupine tree and was preoccupied with anything Steven Wilson related for about a year. Also hit up Anathema during that time and The Pineapple Thief. Then dad decided to get Pink Floyd's Time via the itunes store and I was already curious about it. Now I have 5 Pink Floyd Albums, a few King Crimson albums and am listening to Thick as a Brick.

Surprisingly it was Yes' Fragile album that got me into Progressive Rock. Particularly this song. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvU6dttJb-k[/media]

[QUOTE=CoolCorky;29546593] Also I listened to the 13 Pink Floyd studio albums I have yesterday, in chronological order :rock:[/QUOTE] ChronoFloyd listeners whoo And to answer to quiztime, Dream Theater's Pull Me Under got me into progressive metal. Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon and King Crimson's In The Court Of The Crimson King got me into progressive rock. Especially King Crimson's I Talk To The Wind.

Porcupine Tree's Deadwing and In Absentia albums got me into prog rock. I remember my brother came home, he was 16 and I was 12 at the time, with In Absentia and said "This album is amazing, listen to it". So he sat me down and made me listen to it from start to finish. I think my jaw literally dropped a couple of times. Octavarium by Dream Theater got me into prog metal. The idea of a 24 minute long metal song piqued my interest (odd thing for a 12 year old now that I think about it...) Blackwater Park by Opeth got me into prog death, I remember listening to it the first time and thinking "It's good but I don't like the growls" then I listened to it again and was all "HOLY SHIT AMAZING"

The Moving Pictures album from Rush. Flawless album, absolutely flawless. I think I was... 11 when I listened to it.

[QUOTE=AK'z;29547342]The Still Life album made me realise the greatness of Blackwater Park.[/QUOTE] I never really listened to their earlier stuff until this year because I had heard that pre-Blackwater Park was more black. But it's so awesome. It's really folky in parts. April Ethereal off of My Arms Your Hearse and The Moor from Still Life are two of my favourite Opeth tracks now

[QUOTE=AK'z;29547492]In ways I prefer their earlier work. I don't think it's [I]darker[/I] though..[/QUOTE] No, I soon deduced that the person who told me that is an idiot and listens to Korn.

Gilmour on his "About Face" album: "Looking back on it, it has some great moments on there but the whole flavour of it is too '80s for my current tastes." :wtc: His own music isn't his taste?

Tastes can change

[QUOTE=CoolCorky;29547794]Tastes can change[/QUOTE] I don't understand how you grow up through the 80s then end up disliking it. :raise:

People tend to listen to music that suits their personality at the time. Your personality changes as you get older, so so will your music taste (for example my mum used to be a big Iron Maiden fan when she was about 16 and was trying to be all rebellious, but now she can't stand them)

Fair enough. But I would go back through the years and appreciate what I was listening to. There is no reason to cast it all away like that. I was a big hip hop fan before listening to prog rock a lot more now, I don't think I should hate my previous lifestyle. Unless it was a bad influence on me, at which it makes sense (hence your mother being "rebellious" in her teens).

Then one day on the internet I learned what it was, and was like "hey, I like lots of bands like that" and expanded from there

The song was an important part of an obscure Norwegian book I read. I liked the book, so I had to check it out. Loved The Fountain of Lamneth and The Necromancer, and slowly expanded onto their other albums. A few years later, as in now, I started listening to more prog rock like King Crimson and Yes. [editline]1st May 2011[/editline] Personally I think it's quite awesome that I started out with a 20 minute song :v:

Octavarium got me into progressive music

It progresses through the stages of a mans life by expressing different emotions through music and lyrics. Rush's masterpiece.

Anyone know if I a better recording of this exists? King Crimson - Mars: The Bringer of War [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag9l1C1-zQQ[/media]

Oh you're right, didn't notice that.

I did manage to get the whole album but this is the best quality you're gonna get. [media]http://soundcloud.com/akayz7/king-crimson-mars-bootleg-live[/media] Sorry dude.
