"Yeah Floyd went for atmosphere rather than technicality"
yeah
give me soul and atmosphere over showing off yr skillz
i'm sure gilmour could fucking shred for days if he wanted, but give me dem smooth, slower, string-bending solos over mindless shredding everytime
(i'm not saying that applies too all prog obviously)

Even when Waters said that Atoms was pompous shit, it was still much more understated than the majority of prog bands I've jammed. I might like this band too much.

Pretty sure Dave Mustaine said: Gilmour can do more with one note than most guitarists can do with an entire fret board.
Dave knows.

The band hates Atom Heart Mother way too much, album rules
"Pretty sure Dave Mustaine said: Gilmour can do more with one note than most guitarists can do with an entire fret board."
Wow Mustaine not saying something retarded for once
"I've only heard Images and Words and Metropolis pt.2 so I wouldn't know about their newer stuff."
It sucks, you only really need to hear I&W, Metropolis pt. 2 and Awake and that's it.

Floyd avoiding pointless shredding sections and shit like that is what puts them above other prog for me
Jethro Tull are another good example of a prog band that doesn't rely on technicality. Tull always put song writing before technical musicianship/wankery.
A Passion Play is really their only album that strays towards occasional self-indulgence and even then there aren't really many extended solos, just an eclectic mix of instruments used in the instrumental sections.

Yeah Tull's instrumental sections are always really well thought-out, agreed
