General to discuss the genre of progressive rock, including its sub-genres or any associated genres which may fit the criteria of "prog". Discuss prog rock bands, share works of prog, or (best of all) argue over whether band "X" is truly progressive or not.

>What is progressive rock?!
"Progressive rock (shortened as prog; sometimes called art rock, classical rock or symphonic rock) is a broad subgenre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States throughout the mid to late 1960s. Initially termed "progressive pop", the style was an outgrowth of psychedelic bands who abandoned standard pop traditions in favour of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz, folk or classical music. Additional elements contributed to its "progressive" label: lyrics were more poetic, technology was harnessed for new sounds, music approached the condition of "art", and the studio, rather than the stage, became the focus of musical activity, which often involved creating music for listening, not dancing."

Featured album: "Godbluff" by Van der Graaf Generator (1975)

King Crimson's Radical Action is pretty good; a bit on the expensive side but you get a lot of music.

Kansas released a new album last year which was pretty meh. Depends on how recent you're talking. Steven Wilson released a really good album in 2015 called "Hand Cannot Erase" that actually could become a seminal album of the genre.

Anyone knows something similar to this? I've been looking quite a while but nothing comes close really

It's the epitome of the Canterbury Scene. There's probably nothing that's going to be like it. The closest sounding albums to Rock Bottom would Soft Machine's Third and Matching Mole's self-titled album. Robert Wyatt was a member of both bands.

>Inaccessible album
It was my introduction to VdGG, and made me a fan instantly. 4 killer tracks, but especially Arrow & Undercover Man. Still my favourite album of theirs.

Was about to post this. It felt like a really easy album to get into. When I think of prog that isn't very accessible I think more of Gentle Giant.

Big Big Train's latest release, Grimspound, is pretty great if you want a modern take on classic Genesis.

If it's Canterbury scene, then he might enjoy Caravan or Camel.

Godbluff was my first VDGG too, but I had to listen to it several times before I could really appreciate the album. I could always get through "Undercover Man" but beyond there I always had to replay.

Maybe it's not as much inaccessible as it is rife in depth.
