I like Tragically Hip, I hate to say it but "New Orleans is Sinking" is my favourite song by them.

Neil's album comes out September 27, downloaded the leak but I decided not to listen to it though. I've heard one of the singles and "When God Made Me" though.

Can someone recommend me some prog/classic rock.
I listen to: Rush, Yes, amongst others.
Would be great thanks. :thumb:

Emerson Lake and Palmer, some Pink Floyd, King Crimson.

All off the top of my head, I'm not really a huge prog fan though.

ELP, King Crimson

[QUOTE=JonG]ELP, King Crimson[/QUOTE]Haha, you were beat!!

What about Traffic? Don't they have some more prog based albums?

Right on. :thumb:
Merci Beaucoup.

ELP is one of my favorite Prog Rock bands, if you want some of their stuff either get their s/t, Brain Salad Surgery or Tarkus.

John Barleycorn Must Die and The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys are Traffic's "proggish" albums.

And good albums at that.

It's funny that Prog just got brought up because my friend just gave me a burned copy of [I]In the Court of the Crimson King[/I]. The only song that I've heard by them is "21st Centery Schizoid Man" and I wasn't too crazy about it. I just listined to 2 more songs off it and so far it's pretty good but I still need to listin to more. I await judgement on it til' I get a few more proper listins in. :)
[QUOTE]If Houston get Hurricane'd, make sure you e-mail us sometime so we know you're not dead [/QUOTE] Will do. ;)

Don't forget Yes and Rush. For some heavier-ish prog check out Liquid Tension Experiment.

EDIT: Oh, you already listen to them, woops

I didn't really like ITCOTCK other than 21st Century Schizoid Man, which is just pure genius.

[QUOTE=Schyma]I dislike most Prog. I can't stand Yes, Rush, Camel or any prog band besides the Floyd for that matter. Maybe I'm not going in depth enough. :-/

[I]Electric Ladyland[/I] is [I]amazing[/I] never really realized how awsome it really was until today. The guitar is sooo amazing on this album it's incredible. He turns Dylan's color blind "All Along the Watchtower" and turns it into a kaleidoscope(sp?) of vivid colors I can't describe, he plays the wah wah as if it were an instrument all to itself and the 2 long peices are simply amazing! This is easily his most creative album too and when people talk about how visionary of a guitarist he was they were thinking of this album the most. Simply incredible![/QUOTE]
Yea, I just rediscovered how amazing the album is. Some of the songs are bliss, and his background playing is astounding.

/late

EDIT: ITCOTCK is a great album. I prefer the softer songs, like I Talk To The Wind, and Moondream. I would say Epitaph is my favorite on the album, though.

I have Brain Salad Surgery, is Tarkus any different?

King Crimson and ELP have all been mentioned, but Genesis is also great. Dream Theater is increadable, although they're music is a lot heavier than other prog bands.

[QUOTE=Woodstock] I would say Epitaph is my favorite on the album, though.[/QUOTE]

It's a very dark, pretty song. Much different than the electronic 21stCSM type stuff.
I think my favortie album of their's might be Red.

I've also got Trilogy by ELP and it's really great.

I absolutely love the song For The Turnstiles by Neil Young.

edit- I really like the Tragically Hip. I don't have any of their albums, but they are so popular here on the radio and in the media (they always end up in the newspaper) because they are Canadian. They've got some really great songs, and they are a pretty talented band.

Did you get in in my email or did you aslready have that album?

Are King Crimson really all that great? I have Discipline, and it's decent, but I'm not a huge fan.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of theirs either.

I'm not a BIG fan. I do like their music though.

For whoever it was that was asking about what bands were good classic/prog rock here's a few.

Styx-my favorite band ever
Foreigner
Boston
Journey
ZZ Top-I am hopin to see them in concert in a couple weeks :)
Rush-hey-what can I say? I think its great.
Tom Petty

I dont think anything of those bands are Prog.

Yeah, ZZ Top has like 3 minute songs.

You forgot Pink Floyd

It was already mentioned.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Rush, my friend, are one of the best prog rock bands ever.[/QUOTE]
I missed them.

I didnt mean that all of those bands were prog. The person justwanted to know some prog/ CLASSIC bands. Sorry about fogetting floyd.

Styx are kind of prog, maybe. Rush definitly are.

He didn't mean that all of those were prog bands. ZZ Top definitly isn't.

But lets not deny ZZ Tops coolness.
