Nice! Love me some prog, this thread is supplying me with lots of bands I'm unfamiliar with to check out.

I remember being so pissed when I discovered Crimso that I could have been listening to it 20 years sooner!

My favorite band is the debatably progressive Rush. Haven't seen Gentle Giant mentioned, they have a lot of tasty stuff.

Or Rush!!

Ahem.

Just a few thoughts:

Thanks for the heads up on Giraffes?Giraffes

I saw Magma in 2000 at NEARfest, odd prog

Porcupine Trees new album is absolutely amazing, as all Steven Wilsons albums are

Love me some Yes, have seen them many times through the years, believe the incantation of Yes touring now are playing the entire Close to the Edge album, I could be wrong. I'll report back after I see them.

Guy is a genius, he must never sleep.
Love most all his stuff, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Blackfield, No-Man, I have 40 albums of his.

Not new, but I jumped back into 80s Rush recently, picked up the Signals and Waves Ultimate box sets. (HIGHLY recommended!) My favorite album of that era is Grace Under Pressure, so we'll see if that one is worth it too.

I'm a humungous fan of the finnish band Amorphis; you have to at least accept growly vocals, but they are a great heavy band with a lot of 70s prog influence.

Opeth has a new album coming out soon. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will be a slight turnaround from their deeply [boring] navel-gazing efforts of late. I'm done otherwise.

Not really "prog" in the 70s psych/technical sense, but definitely progressive - I have really enjoyed the latest Descartes a Kant album "After Destruction", which is a really unique concept album about a computer program that "creates" an album based on user input, after a breakup or something. There are some really great songs on it - it's sort of 'indie rock' but heavy enough I still enjoyed it. Some of it is pretty avant garde but there are some great riffs thrown in. The band takes on a Devo vibe in their videos. great stuff.
