Tundra: Popular prog rock bands ranked

Tundra 07.10.21	Might I add I don't think any of them are "bad" besides Black Midi, and y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
JohnnyoftheWell 07.10.21	don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out
ArsMoriendi 07.10.21	Frances the Mute is such a terrible album, not a fan of this list
ArsMoriendi 07.10.21	1 = bad 2 = technically talented, but otherwise boring 3/4 = meh *5 = classic of course 6 = lame 7 = too many albums for me to bother but probably decent 8 = Honestly never gave them a fair enough shot but prob good 9 = technically talented, but otherwise annoying 10 = never heard 11 = Honestly never gave them a fair enough shot but prob good 12 = TBH I'm a little curious about them but haven't heard more than that horror movie theme 13 = Not really interested in them, but everything I heard was okay 14 = The best artist ever tbh 15 = awesome 16 = classic of course 17 = Honestly never gave them a fair enough shot but prob good 18 = classic of course *19 = I know 1 album well and it's good, I should dig deeper 20 = first album is alright but that 2nd one is so bad
Titan 07.10.21	LMAO such a terrible ranking
Koris 07.10.21	The Mars Volta were such a disappointment after how good At the Drive-In were. Somehow boring and annoying at the same time
Jethro42 07.10.21	You don't have my approval, sir. Is the list the other way around?
SitarHero 07.11.21	"Just sounds bad, don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out." But does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out?
GhandhiLion 07.11.21	this list is weird and all but pink floyd are not a prog band
JKing92 07.11.21	Can't add much other than that I agree with most of what Ars says (minus his opinions on Tool and Rush, but I am openly biased towards both). I will say that, in particular, I very much agree with he has to say about the Mars Volta and especially Opeth, groups that offer me all the emotional resonance of rotting oatmeal.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.11.21	wow burn
SitarHero 07.11.21	"pink floyd are not a prog band Wait. Hold up. What?
Ryus 07.11.21	p/
GhandhiLion 07.11.21	yes, 4/15 does not a prog rock band make. And I only include WYWH for Crazy Diamond.
JustJoe. 07.11.21	sitar: i think the comment was that all the other inclusions are not prog rock but pink floyd is
JohnnyoftheWell 07.11.21	it does if those 4 are the only ones you ever listen to edit Joe [2]
JustJoe. 07.11.21	i stand corrected
sixdegrees 07.11.21	Please feature
JohnnyoftheWell 07.11.21	give me something
aydross121 07.11.21	were is opet
Veldin 07.11.21	Zappa 4 Life
GhandhiLion 07.11.21	zappa is best but not prog unless you are progarchives.com
SitarHero 07.11.21	We are all progarchives.com
SitarHero 07.11.21	But as an aside, why is Floyd not prog?
MrSirLordGentleman 07.11.21	I knew ghandhi would comment on this saying Floyd wasn't prog lol
ArsMoriendi 07.11.21	Ployd isn't frog
porcupinetheater 07.11.21	Woah the gang’s all here
ArsMoriendi 07.11.21	porc's username reminds me: why is Marillion on here but not Dream Theater
Ryus 07.11.21	because we all know dream theater sucks
MrSirLordGentleman 07.11.21	because Marillion is cooler DT is cool too
ArsMoriendi 07.11.21	DT is lamesauce like Opeth I asked because these are supposed to be the popular ones and I only know who Marillion is because of Sputnik, which isn't true for the rest of these except maybe Camel
MrSirLordGentleman 07.11.21	Marillion are big af Ars buddy Not as much as DT of course, but probably the biggest prog band from the 80's
chemicalmarriage 07.11.21	What about that obscure Venezuelan band that field recorded at a dmt sacrifice a concept album of life birth regeneration and murdering someone on dmt. Think they were called frog nuts or some shit. That's the only kind of shit I'm into
porcupinetheater 07.11.21	Woah did they think Bill Hicks was really funny too for whatever reason?
chemicalmarriage 07.11.21	Bill hicks stole material from frog nuts
JKing92 07.11.21	I agree with MrSirLordGentleman that Dream Theater is cool. If "cool" means "absolutely, unbelievably boring," that is. Once again, Ars spitting facts out here. Opeth and Dream Theater = the ass-end of metal.
SitarHero 07.11.21	I can understand that opinion about the Heritage-era prog rock Opeth and post-ACOS DT, but the versions of those band before that were boring?
Ryus 07.11.21	morningrise and mayh >
asanisimasa 07.11.21	what the fuck flip this list upside down delete black midi and then thatll be close to something I can get behind
JKing92 07.11.21	Out of what I've heard of the two bands from the specified periods, yes, quite a bit (especially 2000s Opeth). When it comes those two bands, the word "yawn" comes to mind -- and stays there. Fine if you enjoy them, but as for me? More Tool and Rush, please.
asanisimasa 07.11.21	tacky tacky tacky
Ryus 07.11.21	i forgot how fucking terrible 3 is until now
asanisimasa 07.11.21	opeth is great
asanisimasa 07.11.21	steven wilson is cringe
MrSirLordGentleman 07.11.21	Steven Wilson rules but he's obviously not even close to the greats as the list suggests
asanisimasa 07.11.21	i like a lot of his music but hes still cringe
MrSirLordGentleman 07.11.21	oh yeah that for sure
AngryLittleAlchemist 07.11.21	How can you not like King Crimson? lol
Tundra 07.11.21	"LMAO such a terrible ranking" thanks for the input "The Mars Volta were such a disappointment after how good At the Drive-In were. Somehow boring and annoying at the same time" not to me "You don't have my approval, sir. Is the list the other way around?" perhaps "what the fuck flip this list upside down delete black midi and then thatll be close to something I can get behind" ok "i forgot how fucking terrible 3 is until now" "steven wilson is cringe" his songs are pretty good, actually. "Steven Wilson rules but he's obviously not even close to the greats as the list suggests" alright "How can you not like King Crimson? lol" very middle of the road to me, there is some songs I enjoy, but overall it doesn't do much for me.
aydross121 07.11.21	opep
LeddSledd 07.11.21	putting five of the best prog bands ever in the bottom six excellent ranking
Ryus 07.11.21	and porcupine tree number 4
LeddSledd 07.11.21	Steven's solo stuff is pretty cool but Porcupine Tree is so middling for the most part
Ryus 07.11.21	I'm stoned in the mall again Terminally bored Shuffling round the stores And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing Xbox is a god to me A finger on the switch My mother is a bitch My father gave up ever trying to talk to me
ReiniEden 07.11.21	This is a big yikers
LeddSledd 07.11.21	let's go shoot some ipods
XyphDryne 07.11.21	This list makes me angry :p
MrSirLordGentleman 07.11.21	Steven Wilson's lyrics are pretty meh most of the time and there are many which are cringe, though I think there's a couple that are pretty decent PT>Wilson solo tho
Tundra 07.11.21	You can look at the list upside down if it make u feel better "putting five of the best prog bands ever in the bottom six" I just prefer the others, dont think they are bad. "Steven Wilson's lyrics are pretty meh most of the time and there are many which are cringe, though I think there's a couple that are pretty decent" Soundscapes are great so can see past vocals
Boognish79 07.14.21	Your dismissal of Crimson is disappointing to say the least. They should be #1. I highly doubt you’re very familiar with them.
bigguytoo9 07.14.21	Mars Volta SUCKED when I saw them open for RHCP in 2006.
Ryus 07.14.21	1. The Beatles
porcupinetheater 07.14.21	If lyrics are that important to you prog is probably the wrong genre tbh "Mars Volta SUCKED when I saw them open for RHCP in 2006" This sentiment from someone paying to see RHCP play is probably the biggest endorsement for the Mars Volta this thread's gonna come up with
Ryus 07.14.21	lmao
ArsMoriendi 07.14.21	I don't know why RHCP get so much hate on here They're fun, talented, and at least before 2006 had classic tracks (especially 87-95)
Ryus 07.14.21	nah they suck
sonictheplumber 07.14.21	shite list
Ryus 07.14.21	the next time someone tells me being talented makes someones music not bad i will be angry
LeddSledd 07.14.21	agreed, good musicians are bad at their instruments
Ryus 07.15.21	the music is only good if they have no talent
ArsMoriendi 07.15.21	IDK if I trust someone who has 1000 Gec 4.5'd to tell me when something sucks
Ryus 07.15.21	two can play at that game ars
Ryus 07.15.21	you like mr bungle 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
ArsMoriendi 07.15.21	1000 Gecs legit gives me a headache and is accurately described as "YouTube Poop adjacent" say what you want about Bungle but at least people didn't accidentally think they were joking when they made it only to find out they were serious like with Gecs
LeddSledd 07.15.21	YTP music sounds like an endorsement to me
sonictheplumber 07.15.21	fool..
sonictheplumber 07.15.21	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvOMyXOy_uk
Ryus 07.15.21	you guys need to stop derping while im geccing
sixdegrees 07.15.21	Troggin
Tundra 07.15.21	the list upside down is probably the objective list, too bad this is subjective
Tundra 07.15.21	100 gecs is very cutting edge bro, you dont understand (says in the voice of theneedledrop) "Your dismissal of Crimson is disappointing to say the least. They should be #1. I highly doubt you’re very familiar with them." Are alright, just prefer the others
