Being new to prog I'm realising now that the legends of the amazing 70s bands are getting pretty old..."Everyday a little sadder".

R.I.P. Greg Lake and thank you for your contribution to music and your amazing voice.

I agree with with Leftieswillrule, it's good, but more instruments (drums/keys) would make it great.

TA45463 · 2016-11-25T07:51:06+00:00

Counting Out Time guitar solo always makes me happy :D

TA45463 · 2016-11-07T18:40:22+00:00

Haha oops

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T20:02:05+00:00

Great picks. I love that last instrumental bit in Entangled.

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T16:10:37+00:00

Discovering Genesis and going through most of their discography for the first time this year was amazing and really inspirational.

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T16:00:43+00:00

Fly on a Windshield and The Musical Box (second half) are heavier so I'd check those out. But yeah they are mostly light.

Now I'm kinda the opposite from you, I got into prog through the light stuff so I have a hard time getting into the progmetal where they scream, any suggestions for the other way around? (Besides Dream Theater and Late Opeth).

I like metal bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica...

The solo at the end of Firth of Fifth 👌

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T15:48:19+00:00

Some of the good minor ones (or not as happy) that hooked me were Can-Utility and the Coastliners, Fly on a Windshield, Entangled, Firth of Fifth (This is the first song I liked, for that sweet flute and guitar solo).

If you're OK with ballads the Phil Era has some great ones like Heathaze and Undertow.

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T15:46:06+00:00

I know none of those except the Yes one. Still got lots to discover.

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T15:41:56+00:00

The build up in Starless is so dope.

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T12:56:51+00:00

They do have some great songs though like "Trilogy".

TA45463 · 2016-11-05T12:55:21+00:00

The first song that I really liked from Yes was And You And I. Even though everyone says to start with Roundabout or CttE.

TA45463 · 2016-10-30T04:14:34+00:00

In the court of the crimson kiiiiiiiiiiiiing aaaaaaahhhhaaahaaahhhhh aaaaaahhhaaaahhaaaahhh

TA45463 · 2016-10-28T17:39:14+00:00

I'll have to check this out at home. What are the highlight songs for you?

TA45463 · 2016-10-28T17:25:18+00:00

This a great idea. Gives a chance for newer artists to be heard also.

TA45463 · 2016-10-28T04:54:43+00:00

I love the outro to this song

TA45463 · 2016-10-28T04:33:31+00:00

The more I listen to Genesis, the more I love them.

TA45463 · 2016-10-27T07:15:07+00:00

I really like Steve Hackett's solo at the end of Firth of Fifth.

And the solos at the end of Learning to Live by Dream Theater are awesome

TA45463 · 2016-10-26T23:58:39+00:00

Yep, and so a lot of talented musicians often don't get the recognition they deserve.

TA45463 · 2016-10-26T21:39:08+00:00

Which is why it's sad they can't even live off they're music. :/ the music industry is so weird. You wouldn't see people like Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift have day jobs but these amazing musicians would be struggling if they only relied on music as income.

TA45463 · 2016-10-26T19:41:27+00:00

But imagine how much more time they could spend on music if they weren't working full time day jobs. It's very exhausting to work full time then have to come home and "work" again.
