Here are a few with a brief list of bands in each. Canterbury Scene Prog - Caravan, Soft Machine, Gong, Hatfield and the North, Camel Krautrock - Ash Rah Tempel, Amon Duul, Gila, Can, Popol Vuh Eclectic Prog - King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Gentle Giant, Diagonal, Univers Zero Neo-Prog - Porcupine Tree, Tangent, Marillion, Gordian Knot, Tool, Oceansize Prog-folk - Dead Can Dance, Jethro Tull, Gryphon, Comus, Spirogyra Progressive Electronica - Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Franco Leprino Italian Prog - Premiata Forneria Marconi, Le Orma, Banco Del Mutuo Succorso, Celeste, Area Psychedelic / Space Rock - The Doors, Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Acid Mothers Temple, No-Man Symphonic Prog - Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Genesis, Camel, Steve Hackett Prog Archives - like Metal Archives, but with a crappier layout and for progressive bands. A great resource sans most of the reviews / progressive metal additions. The users there are extremely biased (moreso than MA) and generally don't take Hessian values into consideration. Full Albums for Easy Listening Pleasure Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King Pink Floyd's The Wall Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd's Animals King Crimson's Red King Crimson's Larks Tongues in Aspic Genesis' Foxtrot (Remastered) Van Der Graaf Generator's Pawn Hearts Banco del Mutuo Soccorso's Darwin Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick Jethro Tull's A Passion Play King Crimson's In the Wake of Posiedon (great mix) Genesis' Selling England by the Pound Genesis' Nursery Crime The Soft Machine's Third

Pink Floyd are the greatest band ever. So should we make a list of basic prog for other hessians who aren't in the know?

aight well first things first, the entry level. King Crimson, Camel, Yes, Genesis. Figure next tier should be stuff like Gentle Giant, VDGG, Soft Machine. Then prolly want a psych/space rock section for shit like Floyd and Acid Mothers Temple. Also should have a Zappa section since most people have no clue where to start with him. I have some other bands I could add to the list, you and Moog will need ot do the other styles that i don't know, like all the italian prog and other obscure shit

Hey proggy, why aren't bands like Pink Floyd and Rush considered progressive?

As for Rush, my initial reaction is that it's basic song structure and leans more towards Hard Rock/Heavy Metal than actual Progressive Rock. I'm unsure about Floyd since I am checking them out at the moment. Proggy will answer that far more thoroughly than I, though. I iz nube.

The progressive elements present in the music are tacked on almost as an after thought rather than an integral piece of the composition. when stripped down, it reveals itself as popular rock with some prog quirks added on. both bands can still be enjoyable however

Rush I just see as having a very strong hard rock element on their prog material, and being hard rock for the rest of their material. I still think albums like 2112 and A Farewell To Kings should be noted though.
As for Floyd, matt is a chump. Sure, they lean more towards space/psych rock but just because they aren't as symphonic as Camel or Yes or aren't as quirky and eclectic as King Crimson or GG doesn't make them not prog, that's just silly.

I'm going to make a worthy addition (which most of you probably will not have heard of before)

Don't get me wrong, I love Floyd. I just see most of their material as prog-lite that was meant for a more mainstream audience. let's face it, they are easily the most successful band from that era / genre.

Where does Tool get put in all of this... I love Tool, also you should all listen to this, my favourite cover version of 21st Century Schizoid Man by a Jazz Band who then turned into a Metal band... I saw them play it live and it was awesome.
"Live" Version Studio Version My second favourite cover is the one with the Tool singer in.

Tool is neoprog, along with Diagonal and Porcupine Tree. Diagonal is more a revivalIst band. All this will be covered tommorow.
and I've seen the jazz covers, so good.

Certainly not in the early days...they used to hate playing live with Barrett, and didnt give a shite about reaching a new audience. There was a class documentary on them on last week, on bbc4.

So because they were had more mainstream success then other prog they are somehow makes them lesser prog? riiight. looks like what you like about prog is that it's complex music that most people can't easily get into which makes you feel special, and if that's the case that's just ******ed. They all made amazing music that was very innovative and progressive for their time, regardless of how much success any band got.
