Men, rcommend me please something like this! I love Pain of Salvation, but i hate their vocals(too metal-like). I like Porcutree vocals more. So, waitin' for your recomendations.

 

[BuzzAldrin]

Jethro Tull - A Passion Play and Thick As Brick (best flute in rock music EVER)
and almost anything by king crimson (their old stuff is simply brilliant)
btw... j-tull's coming to quebec in november... can't wait to see these old folks live

 

[Thraxz]

Symphony X - all
Koltipelto - The Darkness
Pagan's Mind - Celestial Gate
I think Star One is considered Prog. If so, them.
Armada
Dream Theater
A buncha others

 

[PaulRawNerve]

king crimson - red / discipline / the power to believe
camel - mirage
gentle giant - octopus

it's weird backtracking through this thread, a LOT of what is mentioned in here is not what i would call prog rock, a lot of it is prog METAL, but certainly not rock, there is a distinct difference.

My favourites progressive and symphonic rock albums:

King Crimson - Lark´s tongues
King Crimson - In the court
Marillion - All the "Fish stuff" (specially Missplaced Childhood)
Yes - Fragile
Yes - Close to the edge
Rick Wakeman - Six wives
Genesis - Every single album (huge genesis fan)

and lots more...

Anybody listen to Oliver Wakeman´s albums?

 

[The Devil's Steed]

I could list some prog metal bands, however, as it's a prog ROCK thread, I won't. Due to that (and a current state of laziness that won't let me look through my albums) my list will be rather short.

Camel -- Mirage, Moonmadness
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer -- ELP
Gordian Knot -- S/T
Jethro Tull -- Thick As A Brick, Aqualung
King Crimson -- In the Court of the Crimson King, Red, The Power To Believe
Pink Floyd -- DSotM, The Wall, Wish You Were Here
Porcupine Tree -- In Absentia
Rush -- 2112, Moving Pictures
Tool -- Lateralus

I'm so glad that Jethro Tull and Hawkwind where mentioned.... In my opinion this is the best prog. rock

Have just read this post... I listen to Hawkwind after a friend told me that this band inspired Arjen Lucassen... and it´s great!!!!

 

[Birkenau]

King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream


(By the way, since when are Opeth and Tool rock? There's a difference between being influenced by prog rock and being straight out prog-rock).

 

[John Gargo]

Wow, all great bands here. I won't bother re-naming my choices, as most of my choices have been mention ad nauseum. I will say that I'm currently listening to Genesis - Selling England By The Pound. What happened to these guys...

 

[whitecluster69]

I'm a little behind the times, but here are some of mine in no particular order.

Porcupine Tree - Signify
Porcupine Tree - Up the Downstair
Yes - Close to the Edge
Yes - Relayer
Genesis - Foxtrot
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Marillion - Clutching at Straws
Arena - Immortal?
Rush - 2112
Rush - A Farwell to Kings
Spock's Beard - The Kindness of Strangers
The Flower Kings - Adam & Eve
Peter Gabriel - 3

 

[The Devil's Steed]

King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream


(By the way, since when are Opeth and Tool rock? There's a difference between being influenced by prog rock and being straight out prog-rock).

Tool DAMN SURE isn't metal, it's prog. rock. Now, Opeth, you have a case for.

 

[Poison God Machine]

Genesis - s/t (I really like the early Phil Collins stuff a lot)
Lana Lane - Secrets Of Astrology (I really don't consider her prog metal)
Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Rush - Permanent Waves
Rush - Roll The Bones
Yes - Close To The Edge

 

[Astral_Dominion]

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine
Marillion - Brave
Marillion - Marbles

 

[Warheart666]

Dream Theater-Scenes From a Memory
The Mars Volta-Frances the Mute
Tool-Lateralus (some people consider it progressive, some don't)

 

[sonofhendrix13]

1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

2. Jethro Tull - Aqualung

3. Pink Floyd - The Wall

My top 3.

 

[sonofhendrix13]

Dream Theater-Scenes From a Memory
The Mars Volta-Frances the Mute
Tool-Lateralus (some people consider it progressive, some don't)

I think Dream Theater would be considered Prog Metal.

 

[sonofhendrix13]

would any led zeppelin be considered progressive at all?

Physical Graffiti is kind of prog-rockish but still mainly blues-rock.

 

[The Devil's Steed]

I think Dream Theater would be considered Prog Metal.

Some of DT's material is metal, and some is rock.

 

[AlphaTemplar]

How is Dream Theater progressive? I'm a sucker for their stuff, but they rip off Yes/Genesis/Rush/other 70s prog rock bands rather than creating anything truely new. When I think of modern progressive bands I think of truly original stuff like Tool, Incubus, or Modest Mouse.
