yes but self aware and ironic this

Most recent-ish prog group I got into is Dungen, they're awesome, check them out.

Also King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, but they're a bit too lo fi to qualify as prog

>>69510664

>>69510664
Finally listening to this.
Saw the cover 50 times but I only learned the other day that it wasn't edgy punk rock.
Doing it now. Wish me luck.

But what does /mu/ think about Pink Floyd?

4 minutes in. Its okay but its not blowing me away. Does it get better?

>>69510943
At least make it to 11:58
That album is a lot more catchy than it comes off as. You've got to let it grow on you, that album is definitely one of my favorites of prog rock.

>>69510720
It's one of the greatest albums of all time, so enjoy

>>69510979
its getting better.

Been really into Keith Emerson and his work with The Nice/ELP lately.

Am I the only one who thinks Thick as a Brick is pretty mediocre? The first half is actually good, but the second half really does feel like it was rushed to completion in the studio and sounds bland to me.

>>69511083
Second half is kinda shit desu
I know the entire first half by heart at this point but I've only really listened through the second half all the way maybe 3 times?
I like the intro on the second half though.

Anyone know a band where the drummer actually can play a solid phi:pi polyrhythm where one of the rhythms is in 23/32 odd time

People poo-poo on ELP, but man I think Tarkus is a helluva song.

>>69510575
why is hot rats considered prog? Is it the weird instrumentation? Maybe I'm used to prog in the vein of king crimson and pink floyd, I'm pretty pleb when it comes to prog 2bh.

>>69511784

That and the arrangements and unconventional recording techniques.

>>69511784
even joanna newsom is prog but /mu/ likes to tack on the -rock meme at the end of prog

MORE KING CRIMSON

>>69511707
FUCKING WAYNES WORLD MEME

>>69511784
i mean technically Hot Rats is more jazz than prog but it's about as prog as Zappa gets
i always find the best way to define prog rock is to say "it's like you write three different songs and then mush them all into the same track with bridges between them that aren't jarring".
basically, rock but the song doesn't retain the same melody, or at least it doesn't showcase the standard way to write a rock song.
course you could argue that the use of certain instruments like the mellotron auto makes a song prog rock but really an instrument is just an instrument, no matter how much it's used in a specific genre
>>69511898
joanna newsom is more folk rock than prog mate

>>69511918
You guys notice that Fripp finally allowed the official youtube channel to host King Crimson studio tracks?

>album isn't a single song split into four parts on two discs

>>69512349
God fucking damn it
King Crimson is why I started downloading music in the first place, so that I could listen to their music
Complete music folder is kinda tiny (21 GBs)
I mean, not that this channel isn't hype as fuck, I'm really happy learning of this finally existing but c'mon

>>69511707
terrible as shit cover though

>>69510783
>>69510989
Well that was worth my time and then some. Gonna listen again in the morning.
