| . Join Date: Jul 2001 Posts: 36,607 | Progressive rock music is not your usual 4/4 beat stuff. The songs can be very short or very long. Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull and Misplaced Childhood by Marillion take up both sides of a vinyl record or an entire cd disc. Odd time signatures and changes and the mood of the music that changes during one song is normal. The music is mostly virtuostic with mystical or thought provoking lyrics. Any subject matter can be written in progressive especially concepts. Some of the best concept records are from progressive rock groups: The Wall and Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd, Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play by Jethro Tull, Days Of Future Passed by The Moody Blues, ect. The album covers are really cool too. King Crimson has been credited as the originators of Progressive or Art Rock. |

| remember the future  Join Date: Sep 2000 Posts: 2,145 | King of Prog-I mostly follow the Canterbury Music scene which is part of the prog rock era. It's my favorite music but I listen to lots of other things too-yes I'm a rare bird since most people found prog rock repulsive which made it die in the late 70's. Best definition of prog rock is at: Progressive rock is a style of music that combines classical music's sense of space and monumental scope with rock's raw power and energy. There is frequent inclusion of other musical styles such as classical, R&B, jazz, folk, avant-garde and world music. Arrangements are typically complex, dynamic and multi-dimensional usually featuring intricate keyboard and guitar playing. Many of the early progressive rock bands incorporated a Mellotron or string synth to simulate an orchestra backing. Dynamics are also an important part of progressive rock. A mixture of loud passages, soft passages and musical crescendos add to the emotion of arrangements, as do extended instrumental solos, which may involve some improvisation. It is also not unusual for bands to compose lengthy, yet structured, multi-movement compositions that center on a core musical theme. Lyrical content may draw from science fiction, mythology, fantasy and utopian literature. see: http://ghostland.com/ghostland/about.asp my list: gong (and all related groups) King Crimson Pink Floyd National Health Hatfield of the North Genesis(peter era) soft machine Steve Hillage Yes Nektar Zappa Jethro Tull(only until 77) Moody Blues ELP UK Mahavishnu Orch Caravan Can Camel Hawkwind Focus Brand X-phil collin's real band Strawbs Mike Oldfield the new era Radiohead Marillion Smashing Pumpkins(not sure I would put them in this catgory) Oztric Tenetacles |
