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? |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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 |

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 |
