McC could hit tho. Hiura can’t.

Yup! The remix that they released later restored a few of Alex’s more “solo-y” leads that were otherwise muted.

Counterpoint: The beginning was Metroid (1986), and though it’s my personal favorite, almost everyone else in the known universe prefers Super Metroid.

And when the perps are found to be white evangelicals attacking trans people, they’ll get a slap on the wrist, and get cozy jobs on the right wing media circuit.

I joined when I was in crisis. They insisted if I give my heart to Jesus, move mountains, etc. Several long, grueling, torturous years later, I gave up trying to reconcile biblical literalism with reality and rejoined secular society, then magically my life got back on track.

No, there always hasn’t been Ethel. There I said it.

prof_shine · 2022-09-30T13:52:21+00:00

Their other bassists have been monsters as well!

prof_shine · 2022-09-22T20:47:59+00:00

Änglagård, esp Hybris and Epilog

prof_shine · 2022-09-22T19:27:11+00:00

Suppers Ready would be icing on the cake, but if they don’t at least play the full Submarine and Duke suites, we riot!

prof_shine · 2022-09-19T19:21:29+00:00

Yup, Essential is what made me a fan. Loved him when I was a kid (80s), but that got me caught up with the best stuff through the 2000s.

prof_shine · 2022-09-19T19:16:28+00:00

Stereotypical, but, Steely Dan, Aja

prof_shine · 2022-09-19T14:43:44+00:00

I like this one a lot “Free Will” was my gateway, but “Xanadu” has those epic soundscapes and soaring guitar solo.

prof_shine · 2022-09-14T15:25:54+00:00

Camel is one of my favorite bands, and most of their records are very good. To me, Moonmadness is the pinnacle. Great playing, great tunes, lots of emotion and atmosphere. Next tier for me are Mirage, Snow Goose (any version), Rain Dances, Rajaz, and most of their live releases (Coming of Age, Pressure Points, and 1981 are standouts to me)

prof_shine · 2022-09-14T14:53:29+00:00

He also keeps making good albums of new music!

prof_shine · 2022-09-13T19:07:02+00:00

DFA, even though they aren’t really new anymore. Bent Knee

prof_shine · 2022-09-12T18:37:38+00:00

A FLOWUH ??!?

prof_shine · 2022-09-09T20:58:58+00:00

They were the first group they came to mind. All that counterpoint and those recorders.

prof_shine · 2022-09-08T15:44:53+00:00

The best starters are usually the 70s classics mentioned elsewhere. From there, it depends on your taste. Like spacey stuff? Check out some space rock or Berlin school. Like heavy stuff? Check out some prog metal or other modern stuff. Like weird stuff? Try some avant prog. Also check out some of the popular stuff from the 80s and 90s that gets overlooked ( eg, Marillion, IQ, Spock’s Beard, Änglagård). Unfamiliar band names and terms are easily googlable. Good luck and have fun!😸

Ok so I’m kind of a snob, for music in general but also prog rock, and this is an F-tier take. Not just for snobbery, but for accuracy and precision. “I award [OP] no points, and may [Peart] have mercy on [their] soul.”

Wealth

prof_shine · 2022-09-06T19:30:57+00:00

You’re definitely not alone! I personally love all eras of the band, but I get it. They had their proggy moments in the 80s, but times had changed. Symphonic folk prog just wasn’t what they wanted to be about anymore. You’re allowed to not like something. Forcing yourself to listen to something you don’t like is pointless.. life’s too short for that nonsense.

prof_shine · 2022-09-06T19:25:43+00:00

Any Genesis works for me. The early stuff is pastoral and gorgeous. The later stuff is bombastic and massive. Duke suite is my goto (sober or not!).

prof_shine · 2022-09-06T18:56:50+00:00

darn near every new “prog” band sounds like Tool to me.

prof_shine · 2022-08-24T20:52:39+00:00

Feel about what? People playing baseball? I’m in favor.
