MeatSalad 02.23.13	Some of the covers fucked up especially with 6, damn
sideburndude 02.23.13	swee
foxblood 02.23.13	have you jammed Cressida yet? i still have like 30 prog albums i have to get to lol
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Not yet, man. I have almost 100 prog albums i need to listen to
Jethro42 02.23.13	Sweet list! Major props for 2, 3, 8 and 34 I also like 3, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15 and 30 I'm interested in 5, 6 and 35. I dont know the rest.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	I didn't know most of this until last night. Just thought i'd like to share it with sput
MikeC26 02.23.13	Gonna check these out. Nice work Meat!
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Thanks mike. If you guys are having any trouble finding these, I found most of em on here: http://progbeat-vvche.blogspot.ca/. Most of the site is in russian so you might want to bust out a translator.
MikeC26 02.23.13	Fuck yeah
Jethro42 02.23.13	I guess there are lots of obscure stuff on here.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	yeah, tons of obscure/rare prog and a bunch other genres
SgtPepper 02.23.13	I haven't heard most of these, but they all sound very promising. Nice finds, man. Czar, Khan, and Carmen, really caught my eye. Who/what do these sound like?
MeatSalad 02.23.13	A lot of this is symphonic prog, but there's some prog folk and more hard-rock oriented stuff in there too. Khan is a steve hillage project so you can expect a canterbury-esque sound, carmen is prog folk. Czar is symphonic/hard rock.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Here's czar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LTcQXWZ7dI
SgtPepper 02.23.13	I'm listening to Czar now, it sounds really good. The whole album seems to be on there so I'll check out the rest. I like folk and Steve's work with Gong so I'll check the others too. Thanks, man.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Yeah i'm jamming the czar album now for the first time, sounds like a solid 4 so far.
SgtPepper 02.23.13	Yeah I finished the song you showed me and I'm on Cecelia now, I'm really digging this one too. Thanks again.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	No problem man.
wacknizzle 02.23.13	Cool list. I've only heard a few of these but they were sweet, Ill def check out the rest since you know the good stuff.
sideburndude 02.23.13	props for 36
MeatSalad 02.23.13	you should check out 13 and 15 wack, i think you'd dig those hard
wacknizzle 02.23.13	Sweet, will do. The album art for 13 looks cool.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	it's a badass album, pretty much a prog rock version of sgt. pepper's
wacknizzle 02.23.13	That sounds awesome man.

oltnabrick 02.23.13	HAVe A NeGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg U SUK SENSE$ FAIL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HAVE A GOOD DAY
MeatSalad 02.23.13	wow i've been disgraced hard
JamieTwort 02.23.13	I need to check out some of the ones on here I haven't heard, any that you would say are essential for me to check out?
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Get your hands on 1 and 7 for sure. I can't be sure what you've heard or not but 13, 20 and 33 are all great. I actually haven't heard all of this, a lot of it is stuff that I found out about recently but wasn't in the database.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	3 is also fantastic, not sure if you've heard it or not.
JamieTwort 02.23.13	Heard 3 and 33, they're both great. I'll check those others out, thanks Meat.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Sounds good man, hope you enjoy em
YankeeDudel 02.23.13	nah henry cow (anything by fred frith) and aphrodites child are the best here. they standout the most and are most experimental. england is cool too. alot of these are just run o da mill sympho prog honestly and theres a reason they're obscure. jus sayin.
JamieTwort 02.23.13	^ A lot of these aren't even symphonic prog though.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Yankee even a run of the mill symph prog album is at least a 3.5-4 for me so that's fine
YankeeDudel 02.23.13	about half of them are but still if they're not sympho then they're runnadamill hard rock, heavy psych, psych, whatever. i listened to that henry cow album a few days ago and it was def different from that. im not sayin these are bad by any means, they seem good, and youd def love em since they're right up your alley. im just a jaded drunk fuck right now ha.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	its cool dude the main purpose of this list is exposing obscure stuff that until yesterday i didn't even know existed, gonna put up another one tomorrow too after i add a bunch more stuff to the database and it'll make you real mad cause it's all symph prog eyeheheahe
JamieTwort 02.23.13	Obviously I can only speak about the ones I've heard but Cressida for example are hardly run of the mill seeing as they're considerred one of the pioneering symphonic prog bands. T2's album is hardly run of the mill either boasting an incredibly in depth musical analysis of an acid trip in the form of Morning. I could go on. Obviously you're entitled to your opinion though.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	He's probably referring to a lot of the stuff past 15 but i can't say for sure
YankeeDudel 02.23.13	T2 and Cressida are good. I have both those albums. And pretty much all of these are good. Hell its 70s prog course it is. Im just all about the uniqueness man. I guess the first thing I look for in a band is what makes this original, distinct, or unique in any way? Why do I want to listen to this album over the hordes of others? Now of course if the music is good who cares if its unique right, cuz not everything can be, but still its just what keeps me goin. I like hearin things I havent heard before. I guess this is why Ive been attracted to more experimental music lately. Im just gettin weirder and weirder ha.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Yeah that explains why you put henry cow and aphrodite's child above the others here but I definitely prefer that traditional prog sound from around 69-76 above any other kind of progressive music.
JamieTwort 02.23.13	Yeah I understand Yankee, I guess the point I was trying to make is that a handfull of the albums on this list are ones that I would pick out as some of the more interesting obscure prog/psych albums. Obviously there is a lot of obscure prog out there that is obscure for a reason but there's a number of albums on here that were pretty important and influential at the time and definitely don't deserve to be put in the 'obscure for a reason' category imo.
YankeeDudel 02.23.13	Couple more experimental albums I think you guys would dig Terry Riley - A Rainbow in Curved Air White Noise - An Electric Storm Moondog (Louis T. Hardin) - Moondog Colin Stetson - New History Warfare Einsturzende Neubauten- 1/2 Mensch Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves Ground Zero Revolutionary Pekinese Opera, Ver. 1.28 Taj Mahal Travellers - August 1974 Samla Mammas Manna - Maltid Univers Zero - Heresie Aksak Maboul - Un peu de lame des bandits Eskaton - 4 Visions Tuxedomoon - Desire Area - Arbeit macht frei The Pop Group - Y Dun - Eros Koenjihyakkei - Nivraym Present - Barbaro Devil Doll - The Sacrilege of Fatal Arms The Residents - Not Available Thinking Plague - In Extremis Art Zoyd - Phase IV Art Bears - The World as it is Today Yea idk just weird ish
MeatSalad 02.23.13	Thanks for the recs, been meaning to check out univers zero and dun for a while.
JamieTwort 02.23.13	Area, White Noise and Thinking Plague are great, will check out some of the others.
Keyblade 02.23.13	me 3
MeatSalad 02.23.13	u 2 !!!
Keyblade 02.23.13	btw am i the only who doesnt really care about how original an album is (nothing is truly original anyway)...as long as it isn't a blatant ripoff?
MeatSalad 02.23.13	yupyup same here
HSThomas 02.23.13	Yes I do but do you pog?
YankeeDudel 02.23.13	Its not that it has to be 100% original or anything. I just prefer when a band has their own style at least that makes them stand out. In any genre theres hundreds of bands that are ok but dont really stand out because they just sound like every other band. Most of the best bands have that distinct style that you know right away. Its harder and harder to do that these days but yea I just try to mix things up so I dont get bored.
JamieTwort 02.23.13	Originality isn't really that important to me either provided the music's good enough to stand out from the many other similar bands/artists.
YankeeDudel 02.23.13	Yea its just different strokes ya know. My brother doesnt care about originality AT ALL. The only thing he listens to is shitty melodeath. Not even decent melodeath just shitty melodeath. Its ALL he listens to. Has hundreds and hundreds of melodeath albums. But now he just said he downloaded 1000 post rock songs so that looks like that will be his new obsession lol. We all look for different things.
jesuslover46 02.23.13	saw all these bands live
Keyblade 02.23.13	lol
Keyblade 02.23.13	what kind of meloqueef does your bro like yankee, he sounds like a bro
jesuslover46 02.23.13	:D
JamieTwort 02.23.13	@Yankee: well I definitely care about originality more than he does by the sounds of it. I'm just saying music doesnt have to be 100% original for me to it enjoy it.
MeatSalad 02.23.13	same here jesuslover46
jesuslover46 02.23.13	good list

Jethro42 02.23.13	I'm so glad to see #2 on here. If you like Camel, you have to like Maneige.

CaimanJesus 08.14.15	A member of Klaatu lives in my town. I've only seen him around town once. He's a borderline recluse.
MeatSalad 08.14.15	He's probably legitimately insane
Frippertronics 08.14.15	dude you gotta make a new one of these hard
MeatSalad 08.14.15	Yeah i should, I'd probably name it something less douchey though
Frippertronics 08.14.15	needs a pretentious title, it IS prog after all
