You're thinking of metal, which is just prog rock with down syndrome.

And yeah, Pink Floyd was prog enough to count, even if they weren't pure prog like KC.

>>72608849
Depends how you define progressive rock. Most people who take issue with Pink Floyd being labeled as prog do so because they lack the classical influences that were so pervasive in the genre. Personally I think Pink Floyd dabbled in too many genres to be considered exclusively prog, but there are at the very least progressive influences in their music.

What do you guys think of Big Big Train?
They are one of my favourite modern symhponic prog bands

>>72609671
Was gonna post this one. I personally think the last one was better, but their albums are pleasing to listen to. Been a fan since English Electric.

>>72609671
Oh man, I can't say I've heard of them. What album(s) of theirs do you think are their best?

>>72609636
progressive but not prog, in short.

Yeah Pink Floyd did some pretty cool stuff, I'd say they're prog.

>>72609763
English Electric and Underfall Yard

>>72609776
Essentially, yeah. But like a poorly constructed prog song I gotta make everything 5 times longer than it needs to be.

>>72609671
experimental gentleman is 100% PURE cringe. idk what they were thinking. watch the video for it.

Yes, Pink Floyd is prog. And if you want uber pretentious, I leave you with this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtiUoEbwD7Q Reminder that the p-word is not inherently a bad thing.

>just prog rock with down syndrome.
Please explain. I don't even hate metal, but honestly can't see what you mean by that.

what are some modern bands similar to pink floyd?

This song really reminds me of Genesis' Lamb

>>72608849
I'll nominate Kansas and Wishbone Ash as the best Prog rock groups of my youth

>>72610289
radiohead tbqh but /mu/ will pretend they're not prog

If Pink Floyd are prog this one right here is a quite impressive prog album.

>>72610579

Twas not bait. Twas merely the truth as I see it.
Surely you can't be denying that Kansas was prog rock

>>72610526
Raidohead isn't prog. They may be progressive, but there's no way they are prog rock. If anything, they fall under the experimental category.

>>72610679
moon shaped pool too

>>72610739
>progressive
>is also rock
>not prog rock
really makes you think

>>72610711
Oh, they're prog. They're just bad.

>>72610679
When you think about it, the alternative movement in the 90's was pretty similar to the prog boom in the 60's and 70's, except instead of jazz they incorporated electronic. they both use quite a bit of ambience and precise tunes too.

or maybe i'm retarded

>>72610762
I mean they just don't fit the prog rock mold.

>>72610739
Pro-tip:
all experimental and psyhedelic rock is progressive rock
>>72610790
doesn't matter if they are similar to other bands in the genre if they fit the merits of the genre

>>72610780
Nah, you're right. It isn't prog, but for the most part you're right.

I'm glad /prog/ generals have been up lately. I love hearing the same rehashed arguments about Pink Floyd and Radiohead being prog or not, and then the 60 posts per thread ranking King Crimson and Genesis albums, complete with another 60 posts arguing about them.

>>72609671
I was pretty disappointed by BBTs last album (Wassail was such a good single but god was the album as a whole boring), is this one any better?

>>72610764
Oh, I understand now. You're but a child.
Where were you in 1975?
Try not to comment on that which you do not know

>>72610890
I don't have to have been alive for an album's release to have my own opinion on it.

>>72610928
Your opinion has little value.
You could have said it wasn't your cup of tea.
You could have said that the 70s were years without progressive rock.
But Kansas was a force in progressive rock at that time.
Get off my lawn!

>>72611051
The banter has been quite enjoyable
Thanks for that

>>72611082
Thank you as well.

>>72610850
Not at all. Its worse really. It just never really goes anywhere. You can tell it was a couple of leftovers from Folklore, bolstered with a few more hastily written songs. The last song is the best one on the album, and it was the first one they revealed pre-release. You could probably cherry pick 6 or 7 songs between the both of them and have something rivaling English Electric 1 or 2.
I kinda fear for the concept album they supposedly have in the works. I don't imagine them ever reaching Underfall yard levels again.

I came across this album a few weeks ago from a /mu/ recommendation. This shit is the real dank. Can anyone else recommend something with the same style? I love how they use an opera singer, middle eastern influences, etc.

>>72611173
if you want more middle eastern influences
>azahar - azahar
if you want a opera singer more
>banco, any album really

>>72611206
ur a good dude
