Hey /mu/! Big Prog rock fan here.
I was wondering if y'all can point me towards some new Prog rock bands. I know the big-name ones: King crimson, Yes, Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd.
My question is, what are some other prog rock bands that I should listen to? King Crimson is my favorite, as my dad introduced me to them a couple years ago. I love them, but they only have so many songs, and after awhile they get stale.
Also, what is JJBA? I see it in the comments of King Crimson videos on YouTube.

Keeping it 70s you might want to look at Camel, they were contemporaries and they have some really good tunes under their belt.

>>71719161
Camel and Gentle Giant are essentials
>>71719161
Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff

I've never really considered Can to be prog rock, but nevertheless, they are great
>>71719161

Magma - Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh, Kohntarkosz and K.A.

>>71720299
Are you implying this album is bad? If so it's time for you to go back to your pop-punk and never look back
>>71719407
I second Camel. Mirage and Moonmadness are excellent albums.
>>71719228
A lot of those suck and there's not a single Tool album on there.
Frances The Mute
>>71719161
Consider the source
A good starter song is tihai for the straight guy or put another rock in that bag
>>71721935
>2 Maudlin of the Well and the best Kayo Dot albums

>>71722180
Yes, see Kate Bush
>>71722180
Would 80s Yes count with some of their songs such as Changes?
>>71719161

Ok, in that case you may stay, it might be your download because that's definitely not what I hear
>>71722207

>>71719168
>XDDD EVERYTHING IS A MEME
Not everyone knows about your autism that you like to call everything a meme you don't like only to fuck with people
>>71719161
The Dregs (start with What If, ignore their first two albums), Focus, Ekseption, Djam Karet, Ozric Tentacles, MacKenzie Theory, Pekka Pohjola's first three albums
>>71722125
Hey that's my chart
>>71722180
Mew
Everything Everything
>>71719161
this is prog rock
>>71719161
Hey OP, i thing JJBA is the name of the anime (JoJo bizarre adventures) where we could hear the Yes song, Roundabout. I don't know why it's in the comments of king crimson video doe
>>71723049
Not OP, but since when is Yes actually classified as Prog Rock?
>>71722180
10cc - The Original Soundtrack
>>71719187
taxi to apooloo, sir?
>>71723272
what
>>71723272
idk, i just said what JJBA means
Space Ritual by Hawkwind
The prog rock band Lemmy played bass in before Motorhead.
Space Ritual is a live album but it's their best release.
>>71719173
im so green best
>>71723049
OP here. I always classified Yes as Prog rock. There 1970's era music (Time and a word-Tormato albums in between those are considered prog.) Then 1980's to present they've adopted a poppy feel. I mean their official website is: Yesworld.com where it says "Official website for the progressive rock band YES"
>>71719830
Why is it bait? OP here.
>>71719259
Eh, not really prog
>>71719695
I just listened to this and it's really good. Definitely recommend this op
>>71725201
same. I listened to every one throughout the day. Some were really good, others were okay (I put all those on my Spotify.) Others were not my kind of prog style but that's okay.
>>71719161
This. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAY_LBXziY4
>>71720410
For Zappa fans, I'd definitely recommend Dun - Eros.
Not sure if this counts as prog or not but A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window is pretty enjoyable
>>71727249

>>71719168
>Everything discussed commonly is a meme
>>71722087
They had a bad studio at the time, and got a better one during Ege Bamyasi.
>>71719161
Try Van Der Graaf Generator
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvhtpfPvYas
>>71727249
Sing To God is a bit more proggy
>>71727263
xd
>>71719228
I saw Diagonal so APPROVED CHART.
>>71722180
Crime of the Century by Supertramp
Script for a Jester's tear by Marillion
This is my favorite album by a prog band that wasn't really famous
>>71719161
Comments in the video are because there is a character in Jojo Bizarre Adventures with a power named King Crimson.
>>71728412
But PFM (and Banco, for that matter) were very successful outside Italy, especially in Britain where they charged quite well and toured.
>>71729482
Charged should say charted
>>71719161
Haken - The Mountain
>>71720277
prog is more about nooding and post is unconventional song structure
>>71719161
Island - Pictures
Thors Hammer - S/t
Comus - First Utterance
Dedalus - S/t
Earthrise - S/t
Embryo - Opal
Gentle Giant - In a Glass House and Octopus
Happy The Man - S/t
Le Orme - Felona e Sorona
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire
Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra
Peter Hammill - Silent Corner & the Empty Stage (more art rock than prog rock but still good)
Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per Un Amico
Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff and Still Life
Most of these are obscure/semi-obscure prog rock bands/albums. All are fantastic prog though.
