>>70272787
Both are shit. VDG is the only other good prog band.

>>70272730
because you have shit taste and never explore past /mu/core and are only here for the memes

Genesis
Gentle Giant
Aphrodite's Child
Comus
Yes
ELP
I could go on but KC is definitely the best out of them all in terms of quality and consistency

focus

>>70272846
Name a better prog band, then.

Why is King Crimson the worst prog band?

>>70272926
that's a bit of a non sequitur. OP said they were the only good prog band, not the best prog band

but if you'd like, feel free to tell me why king crimson are better than henry cow, in objective terms

>>70273053
Henry Cow are literally a non-entity compared to kc
theyre not even prog anyway

>>70273140
RIO is a sub-genre of prog rock.

>he hasn't heard the 60's-70's Moody Blues
I wholly recommend them to any King Crimson fan. Especially Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and Days of Future Passed.
Some of their 80's stuff is good, too (Long Distance Voyager is an amazing record), but that era doesn't really have the same feel.

>>70272926
Pink Floyd

Because you haven't heard enough prog

>>70273140
>Henry Cow are literally a non-entity compared to kc
I asked why, anon, in objective terms

>all other good prog doesn't count
think I found the answer to your first question

Can we have a single prog or jazz thread without some ridiculous bait?

Yes
Camel
Frank Zappa
Pink Floyd (barely though)
Rush
Tool
Genesis

>>70273963
we had a few decent prog general threads before some fag started spamming his meme everywhere

Because Rush isn't a good bad they're a great band

>>70274086
we had consistently good prog generals that proge mon would routinely ruin

>>70272752

>>70273331
moody blues is garbage son

>>70273360
their prog albums are shit
their good albums aren't prog

>>70274100
rush is dadrock

>>70272730
because your definition of "prog" is very narrow
there are a lot of good canterbury, avant-prog and krautrock bands

>>70274207
>thinks gentle giant is shit
>krautrock shitter
ecks dee I bet your favorite album is Future Days too

>>70274298
favorite days is not even close to being my favorite album, but it's still better than anything gentle giant ever recorded

>>70274342
He wasn't talking about Favorite Days

what's some prog that isn't self indulgent in the slightest, /mu/?

>>70274342
>favorite days
kek
Can is good but compared to GG they're baby tier prog

>>70274365
that was some bad lapsus

>>70274373
soft machine, faust, can, t2, caravan, gong

>>70274387
>Can is good but compared to GG they're baby tier prog
explain why

>>70274477
he probably believes complex = good

>>70274603
they're both complex

he probably just enjoys posting unsolicited, uninformed opinions with no detail to back them up

Pretty much any prog that isn't american is good.

>>70274373
>>70273331

>>70274671
Is there ANY american prog that isn't glorified alt rock from the 90's?

Either recommend something and contribute to this thread or just stop.

>>70274691
yes, but some of it depends on whether you count jazz fusion as prog:

>kayo dot/motw
>zappa
>electric miles + mahavisnu orchestra, mclaughlin and cobham
>buckethead
>mars volta and omar

king crimson has basically been half american since the 80s

also I'll probably get shit for this, but I enjoy some neal morse even though he's not progressive at all

Avant-Prog > Dad-Prog

here you go my friend
first 15 are good, last 10 are ok

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhKJgqxNDD8
still sharp as hell too

>>70274856
king crimson and zappa are the godfathers of avant-prog you idiot

>>70272730
They're not. See: Nektar, Van der Graaf, all great Krautrock arguably

>>70272730
They are not as wankers as other bands.

>>70275860
haha u didnt start listening to music until you first browsed this board and you are stuck with this shit taste forever :)

>>70277084
my favorite bands in high school were king crimson and jethro tull
