I really love prog rock and prog metal, but I heard that prog

Why do you care what other people think?

You can, sure, but it sounds even better after smoking weed.

Why does what you heard matter to you? just enjoy your music and stop caring what nerds on the internet think.

>>74399433
I wish I could, but I have a heart condition that restricts me from doing so.

>>>Epitaph by King Crimson still gives me a half chub while high

You can listen to whatever you want and not smoke weed, but if you like Yes you should definitely check out Phish, just saying.

What do you guys consider essential stuff to listen to when it comes to prog rock?

>>74399685
Yes and Genesis are good starting points

>>74399685
Rush is probably the most popular "Prog Rock" band, even though some argue they aren't prog

>>74399708
Yes.

>>74399685
King Crimson and Yes are the big two. Genesis, Jethro Tull, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Porcupine Tree are essentials as well.

Is this a JoJo reference?

>>74399396
Plenty of prog is pretty straight edge desu. Crimson and Tull in particular. And modern prog bands are all far too square to do drugs.
