Do You Like Proogressive Rock?

Drum machines didn't make their appearance in any sort of meaningful way untill the end of the 70's.

Long after prog's peak.

Jethro Tull! Jethro Tull!
I love Thick As A Brick. Even the radio edit isn't too shabby.

I am a fan of progressive rock myself....ELP, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Rush and the like.....

Would Queen be considered a prog-rock band?

I think you could call them that if you were going on the basis of some of their early albums....Queen II and A Night At The Opera in particular....I was in a discussion like that a long long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away?) on another board.....where we were discussing "near prog" groups....lol

and other group that I just thought of, that is mostly forgotten....Budgie! I first heard of them in connection to Metallica's cover of Breadfan, and later managed to find a cd reissue of that album that had that song on it......great stuff there....

I love prog rock- Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Dream Theater, Marillion, Genesis (with Gabriel), some Yes, and few others... Beautiful music!
I can't wait for new DT album- out on 7th of June! YES!!!

Bob- awesome definition of prog rock! Couldn't have said it better!
Arlene- you just proved you know nothing about this music...

My favs?
Dream Theater- Scenes From A Memory
Yes- Close To The Edge
King Crimson- Red (Starless is one of the most beutiful pieces ever written)
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here and The Wall
Genesis- Foxtrot
Spock's Beard- V
Marillion- Misplaced Childhood

And so much more...

Sir GH - I'd classify Going For The One and Tormato (both albums I quite enjoy, don't get me wrong) as more pop-prog. Well, at least the latter one; the only really prog song on there is 'On The Silent Wings Of Freedom'. But I do really enjoy Tormato, as it was the first real album of Yes's that I bought and really dug.

I would say that Drama may be more prog than The One and Tormato, especially with that killer 10-minute 'Machine Messiah'. That's quite an underrated album, actually. But 90125 leans more toward pop and catering to the charts than their progressive roots.

Still, Yes is an excellent band - they've become one of my favorites, and I actually really like Alan White as a drummer. Now I need to listen to them again...

I like Drama very much as well. Machine Messiah, Does It Really Happen, and Tempus Fugit are brilliant songs.

I see what you're saying when you classify One/Tormato as pop-prog... but I like how their sound evolved over the years. I like much of 90125 too, but some parts are a bit too 80s poppy for me.

I like progressive rock

I cast another vote for Drama
