Nagrarok
01.04.10 | Try some Crimson or Floyd. |
TheSpirit
01.04.10 | Nocte Obducta |
eternium
01.04.10 | Needs some Pink Floyd and Court of the Crimson King and the list would be perfect.
Also Still Life.
And The Ocean if they are considered progressive enough (though post-metal is progressive in nature). |
cityofgod
01.04.10 | I'm listening to Wish You Were Here and its really good, but i can't get into Dark Side of the Moon...
|
Nagrarok
01.04.10 | Dark Side of the Moon is very overrated. Wish You Were Here is their best work. For Crimson, go with their debut for sure. If you haven't heard it, you don't even know where prog started. |
eternium
01.04.10 | What about The Wall? |
cityofgod
01.04.10 | thanks nagrarok, i'll listen to that next |
Bandido
01.04.10 | Try Yes, Rush and maybe King's X |
SCREAM!
01.04.10 | For prog metal
Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor
Edge Of Sanity - Crimson
Ikuinen Kaamos - Closure
Empyrean Sky - The Snow White Rose Of Paradise
Mastodon - Crack The Skye |
AnotherBrick
01.04.10 | dark side of the moon is not over rated, it is fucking outstanding and i guarantee if you give it more time you will get into it...as far as easiest to get into i'd go in this order..
The Wall
Animals
Wish You Were Here
Dark Side of the Moon
The Division Bell
Meddle
Momentary Lapse of Reason
A piper at the gates of dawn (more psychedelic then progressive but still owns)
the final cut
saucerful of secrets
atom heart mother
ummagumma
for just prog check out these albums and if you like them come find me and ill give ya a shit ton more
The Mayan Factor - in lake 'ch
riverside - out of myself
dredg - el cielo
abigial's ghost - selling insincerity (sounds a lot like porcupine tree)
demians - building an empire
metal isnt my specialty so i wont even try |
Nagrarok
01.04.10 | No offence AnotherBrick, DSotM is excellent but not the classic it is made out to be. |
PayneTiger777
01.04.10 | This is a kick ass list. |
Emim
01.04.10 | Nice list, glad there isn't any Rush on there. |
AnotherBrick
01.04.10 | i would disagree with ya their nagrarok, compared to the rest of their discography it isnt the best album but that doesnt mean that it isnt a classic, that album doesnt have any flaws |
Nagrarok
01.04.10 | Won't start arguing why it isn't a classic with you, but you've also got like six PF albums rated classic. |
AnotherBrick
01.04.10 | and what does those ratings gotta do with anything? look at just the studio ratings, and its just the 4 big 70's albums (besides meddle which would be a classic if it werent for seamus) bands can have more then 1 classic album but i dont wanna get into it with you over personal opinion |
Nagrarok
01.04.10 | I might only rate one full 5 per band, but that doesn't mean I mind when others do. It's just that when I see that long list of classic rating for Floyd, I reek fanboyism. I probably judged too soon. Once again, no offence. |
AnotherBrick
01.04.10 | ha none taken, but thats why pink floyd is my favorite band, imo they put out classic after classic, but yes i may be bit of a fanboy :) |
Observer
01.05.10 | Bit of a stretch but you may like some Mirrorthrone - the two most recent albums.
In Vain
In Mourning |
MindTrain
01.05.10 | Get "The Eye of Every Storm" by Neurosis. It's excellent post metal.
Frank Zappa "Hot Rats" and "Joe's Garage" are very great.
You could also try "Sol Niger Within Version 3.33" by "Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects" if you're feeling very adventurous. |

01.06.10 | Try checking out Oceansize. They're similar to Porcupine Tree in that their sound is really all over the place. The easiest one to get into out of their 3 lp's is Everyone Into Position, but all three are very good. Also try Riverside and Demians |
qwe3
01.06.10 | maybe Riverside would be your thing |
cityofgod
01.06.10 | thanks for the recs, guys. i'm diggin' riverside right now. |
bodiesinflight57
01.06.10 | The Wall is the most overrated album in history |
qwe3
01.06.10 | yeah the wall's terrible |
Phrike
01.06.10 | Symphony X - The Odyssey
Evergrey - In Search Of Truth
Fates Warning - Parallels |
