Progressive Rock that isn't dreadful

[ManchesterBeth]

Been listening to Anglagard again after discussing em on the gigs thread. I still really fucking like this one, has an epic folk-y vibe to it and the retroactive romantic tendencies just hit the exact right spot for me .

This probably counts as dreadful prawg for you killer b ?

You do understand that you sound a bit like Arthur Dent and Forde Prefect when they were praising Vogon poetry.

New mathy avant-prog from Schnellertollermeier. On first listen. Sounding very tasty.

I like some of their stuff , as a remixer of progg stuff and Roxy Music Wilson is very good as well. My fave of PT is :

I've never listened to Porcupine Tree 'cause of their fans, but will give this a listen later if you reckon it's good.

Haven't got round to listening to it yet. What's the issue with their fans.
For completeness of collection, Also bought Wind & Wuthering. Possibly the most recent Genesis album I shall ever buy.

dont know if this has been posted yet. Always reminds me of Sunday lunchtime in the 70s as the instrumental was the theme tune for weekend world. My ears would prick up on this awesomely dramatic tune that sounded like it should belong to some mind blowing sci-fi drama - and then be baffled when what you got was Brian Walden interviewing Len Murray about controversial rostering arrangements at British Leyland.

probably the most terrifying combination of words in the english language.

ETA = although the colosseum track is arguably none of those!

 

[The39thStep]

Derrick Smalls short lived combo springs to mind. Actually there’s probably a half decent thread to be had on jazz influences and prog.

I saw an interview with Noel Gallagher were he seemed reluctant to believe Pink Floyd were a prog rock band.

I see the godfather of prog is bringing another new album out. A prog instrumental Rick Wakeman reports a new prog album is in the works

 

[Chilli.s]

Very big prog:

pretty much zero chance of it not being dreadful though.

I don't know if I posted this already, and it goes against the OP, but anyway this cover of The Wall (the whole album, making it longer) is awesome:


this is a typical track you get the idea

Was reminded of this, by my son, yesterday!
Prog rock? Really like it, don't have it, yet

Seeing some of those American preachers in the news this last week telling people to keep sending money in and to ignore the distancing warnings reminded me of this...

Well here's one I've discovered recently. Early Italian prog rock band Delirium. These Italian bands were taking a cue from the British bands but they had a more romantic almost operatic feel to them. I think this song is a bit of tune. Weirdly reminds me of the theme tune to Cannibal Holocaust which is actually lovely tune.
