a21schizoidman's 60 Prog Bands to listen to before you die

[KingProgdor]

That's my favourite Van Der Graaf album, actually.

And damn, I've listened to a good chunk of that list already. I must tip my nonexistent hat to you, your knowledge in Progressive Rock is a good bit more expansive than mine.

lol, it comes with a title ^ points to prog-nostigator


you can thank ELP and King Crimson for helping me dive into the genre, then Camel and Nektar for pulling me in deeper

[KingProgdor]

I'm more versed in the Metal section of the genre. Progdor comes from that.

[Gowienczyk]

Very few of the bands I don't know; so looks like I don't have to go far to listen to much before I die, then. Though I'd disagree with a choice or two and if I did something similar; I'd include some of what you didn't. But that's personal choice and experience. Whatever.

Good list.

aha, gotcha, ive been leaning more and more into that lately
(i prefer to have a wide taste but deepness in one board genre)

[a21schizoidman]

also, you have no idea how much I appreciate the input everyone, this took me about 2 hours to make (damn youtube and tinyurl...)

[JukeBoxHero]

Cool list a21, surprising enough I actually knew every name on your list. I've also listen to most of the groups, I just need to get albums for them eventually.

Great list, but you missed my favorite "fourth wave" band - Riverside. To me, they stride the precarious line between Prog-rock and Prog-metal better than any other band I've ever heard. I always describe them as a massachusetts wedding between Opeth and Porcupine Tree, and it fits.

Hah, you need recs? I've got plenty. :P

Say, you've given Parallel or 90 Degrees a listen I'm sure, right?
