easily my favourite genre so it's hard to choose one

it's probably this, red or choirs of the eye

>Indie and prog-rock have a lot more in common than most of their listeners might like to admit. Both are dominated by apostate wallflowers who act a lot cooler and more self-assured than they really are, and their artists, despite creating an aura of aloofness, are notoriously defensive. If you wanna take the psychoanalytic bent, both have masculinity issues: Prog compensates with double kick drums and the phallic gratification of rabid shrrredding, while indie prefers to spin its shortcomings into anti-heroism. This is not to detract from the legacy of either music-- both have rich and diverse histories-- but the reps of each have been tarnished by generations of feckless dudes whose spotlight-hogging has rendered the genres unusually susceptible to generalizations.

Also my favorite album. I know it's not the best prog album or anything, but it's got a special place in my heart.

Also, here's a bonus album I randomly found from some Brazilian band I've never heard of. But it's fucking awesome, worth a listen through.

Rush, Yes, and Genesis all incorporated pop into their music at some point in time

>>71239738
The Wall is my favorite album of time.

You might like Porcupine Tree. Steven Wilson incorporates a lot of Floyd and KC in his music.

>>71242632
i don't think so

>>71242681
You're an ass.

>>71241548
This. An incredible journey through a world of dreams. I don't know why this album isn't up there with the likes of Dark Side of the Moon and In the Court of the Crimson King.

>>71242681
Care to explain why, or just shitposting?

>>71240032
This or Close to the Edge or CotCK

>>71247175
Hypnos 69 is prog with a bit of a stoner rock blend, often reminds me of king crimson too.
Shit is rad. Here's a taste of the album if you're interested.

Need to listen to more prog but this my fav right now

I know early u.f.o. was 'psych-rock'. But UFO2(one hour space rock) was a heavy influence on prog.

Mick Bolton shouldn't have left without doing another album.
