Piffle.
The clue is in the name "progressive". As in "changes over time".
They aren't at all.
The bands themselves, I agree, are not generally considered prog rock bands. Those tracks I posted are prog rock tracks though.
I'd call Child In Time a rock ballad, great track mind.The bands themselves, I agree, are not generally considered prog rock bands. Those tracks I posted are prog rock tracks though.
There's a band from Newcastle called Kylver doing the rounds at the minute, also worth checking out. Fair bit on YouTube.New prog rock band called “Stuckfish”
from Northumberland, very good too. Check them out if you like a bit melodic prog
Most songs change over time. My, Anaconda, and don’t are all different words.
No they're not. Because Gillan screams a bit it's a prog track?
Since no-one seems able to agree on what Prog Rock is I think the mods should delete this thread.Fuck the haters.
Following the "Worst Prog Band" thread, I felt we needed a thread to showcase some of the best of Prog Rock.
(I'd say Prog Metal is also admissible, so feel free to chuck in your favourite Dream Theater or Symphony X tracks too. Post Rock, Math Rock and Mathcore all count too. As long as it's a rock subgenre and proggy, get it posted.).
So many great bands, so many great songs, so many different takes on the Prog Rock idea, it's hard to settle on three songs to start the thread off with.
I reckon let's start fairly commercial and well-known, and I'll get "deeper" later in the thread (if it goes well )...
I wouldn't class Purple or Kansas as prog, just rock and Meatball is just shite.Fuck the haters.

Oh, and @fyl2u, I reckon most Prog bands had a decent song. It was nearly always the one that sounded most like a pop song. You need to get over this idea of equating musical 'cleverness' with being good. It doesn't work like that.
That was the pointWe're straying wildly from the point of the thread though.

Will this be a really short thread? Or s really long one with loads of chord changes?
There is a drum solo in the middle of it when you can go for a crafty tab.Will this be a really short thread? Or s really long one with loads of chord changes?
None of those are prog imho.Fuck the haters.

I love that song. Music at its best imho.Love this.
We've already established that, man, Grandad. Try and have some positive input for a change.None of those are prog imho.
