What's it about? I know nothing of it.

Not quite Pink Floyd related, but I've taken to jamming along with Neil Young tracks lately. Particularly the mellow acoustic stuff, like Heart of Gold and Harvest Moon. Lots of fun.

Yea Neil!

La Vallee, I used to know whta it was about. I think there is a tribe of natives in it, also people that travel around in a jeep.

Sounds like [I]The Gods Must Be Crazy![/I]

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Sounds like [I]The Gods Must Be Crazy![/I][/QUOTE]

:lol: that movie's great.

Hell yes! I love that movie.

La Vallee is about some lady and this guy, apparently, and they track through th e rainforests of PNG searching for a lost valley, described only as Obscured By Clouds on an old map, revered by the natives.

Along the way they have adventures aplenty, and learn something about the wild nature of every man and woman.

I bought [I]Wish you were here[/I] today. I can't believe it has taken me this long to get a real copy :upset:.

That's the only cd I've ever bought two copies of. (My first one got scratched up)

Great Album. You listened to it yet?

Also, anyone know any bands similar to Floyd, other than King Crimson and
Genesis?

I've already heard a lot of queen, they're great. As for Yes, and Dire Straits, I've only 'Sultans of Swing'.

You might like [I]Yes - Close To The Edge[/I]. That's my favorite Yes album, it's pretty awesome.

Well try the ''Brother In Arms'' cd of Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler is a great guitarist
Maybe Radiohead, ''OK Computer''

According to [url]www.progarchives.com[/url], [I]Close to the Edge[/I] is the best prog album ever released.

That's why i never take heed of music journalism.

I don't like yes.

I like Yes I dislike queen and Dire straits are great especially Mark

I've heard one Caravan album (In the Land of the Grey and Pink) and they are somewhat similar to Floyd. I really want more Caravan material, they are pretty good.

[QUOTE=moaner]That's why i never take heed of music journalism.

I don't like yes.[/QUOTE]
It's actually a website where people just vote. It's not music journalism of any sort. But, yeah, I'm not too impressed with Yes either.

I'll check them then, as well as Yes, Dire Starits and Frank Zappa

Wish You Were Here is definatly my favourite Floyd record. The sad thing is, I haven't bought a real copy yet. :upset: ..

It's one of my favourites too and I was in the same position until yesterday :cool:.

As much as I love WYWH. I find Animals so much better.

Although I wouldn't say that, its certainly a masterpiece. I love Yes in general, they're so talented. Also, I don't think anyone else said Rush as a Floyd related band.

I'd probably say check out porcupine tree. Some of their stuff sounds a lot like coldplay mixed with pink floyd. And if you want one of the greatest prog rock albums ever made check out 2112 by Rush ;)

Does anyone know what constitues Prog?

Porcupine Tree is secks. I love that band.

I really think there is no single defining characteristic for what prog actually is. There are many criteria that are common, but no single unifying factor. Except that it's "progressive," which is of course an incredibly subjective term.

I'd pretty much say lengthy songs, a heavy use of synthisizers, grand concept albums and long instrumental pasages all constitute Prog. Still though, theres just something that has to be there for a band, album, or song to really be prog. I can't describe it really.

Med's featured genre explains prog very well. Read it for a detailed description of it and some definitive prog bands to check out.
