Anyone into 70s Progressive?

Is your favorite music in the key of 'R'?
Do you often fall down while dancing to wierd time signatures?
Does your favorite band list "birds" as one of their instruments?
Does your 256MB mp3 player only hold 2 of your songs?
Do you wear a cape?
If so, pleased to meet ya.

 

Not one of those apply to me, but yea, i love old prog. like yes and genesis.

 

Two of the best. I only just discovered Genesis pre-Phil. Yeah I'm a bit slow. Cool screen name btw. So do you do the "cha cha"? lol (reference to "Sound Chaser")

 

i can almost play it, i can play gates of delerium and to be over on guitar.

 

Man you must be incredible. And nuts. You have to be a little wacky to even attempt the Sound Chaser solo. I love listening to that sort of stuff, but then I get all bummed out because that stuff doesn't exist anymore. A few new bands have tried, but they didn't quite get it. IMO.

 

yea, its pretty hard, just need lots of distortion, and plus i know every note on the album like its a second language. im trying to get a band like them going, but so far no one can play theyre stuff, so im just on accoustic right now.

 

Do you write/record your own stuff? Any mp3s to share?

 

i dont have any, im at work right now, and i cant afford any recording equipment, everthings just up in my head. i have written some stuff, but its not stuff that a band could play to, you know what i mean?

 

I love prog rock!!!
I'm into Yes, Quatermass, king crimson, camel, dream theatre, and other groups i'm sure no-one has ever heard of.
though it's been a while since i got one of my prog cds out for a good afternoon session...
still, prog rock rules!

 

king crimson is the shit, but i only like the court of the crimson king album.

 

I'm pretty new to the Prog. rock scene, I only listen to the "giants" of the genre really. I got a 17 track Hawkwind CD for £3 the other day which is a bargain, there are several amazing songs on there. Does anyone know of some obscure Prog Rock bands (preferebly Space Rock?) Not so obscure their music is impossible to download, but still....obscure-ish.

 

I'm not sure what "Space Rock" is, but if it's what it sounds like, you might want to check out Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun. It's one of the classics. Aside from that, I'm like you - only familiar with the giants. RELAYER is currently educating me

 

i think Pink Floyd is what would be called space rock.

 

SpaceDuck im trying to think of more bands for ya, I'm leaving at 5 but I'll try to think of more tonight and let you know tomorrow.

 

Man thanks! In the meantime I'll be doing my homework: Jeff Beck and maybe some King Crimson if I can find it.

 

hell yea! check out 21st Century Schizoid Man: by King Crimson if you can. and Blow by Blow by Jeff Beck is insane funked out psychedellic madness! alright I'm out of here, talk to you later.

 

Gong - Camembert Electrique is fairly Sapcey

 

20 minute keyboard solos rule!

lol

 

some progressive rock still sticks to the 3 or 4 minute mark

 

No body has mentioned Rush.
