Strangely, I'm on a real big prog and stoner kick right now. I'd say they are my fav. genres. What BANDS are you burning yourself out on.

Im burning out on Prog: Yes , ELP, Marillion, Dream Theater,Queensryche, Porcupine tree, Camel,Magma,Caravan, Brian Eno, Arc, Mythos,Any side projects the members of Dream Theater did.

Stoner: Monster Magnet, Comets on Fire, Electric Wizard, High on Fire, QOTSA, Nebula, Fu Manchu, Blue Cheer, and Mastadon.

I listen to alot of music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alot of the bands you guys suggested were stuff I already knew( all the classic rock stuff and a few others) but there were a good bit I didnt know about as well. Thanks for your suggestions.


Also , Oingo Boingo is brilliant, Thank you Matt Till.


And......Anyone know if the Jimmy Chamberlain or Billy Talbot albums are worth getting???

 

[Matt Till]

Gotta give it up for the Boingo.

I'm on a real kick, but I noticed your list of burn outs didn't include King Crimson. I love them because every album is different, so it's kinda hard to burn out on them.

Also, looking at your list: You have good taste in music.

Adrian Belew

Foul! He said no prog.

King Crimson is a band I just cant seem to burn out on.

Their Stoner equivelant for me is Clutch, I cant seem to get tired of Clutch either.



Really with Prog, im more tired of the endless wanking. I do know of a few prog bands that dont wank as much.

 

[Matt Till]

Exactly. Prog to me once was a dirty word meaning, "Hey look how fast I can play in 13/16" but King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Early Genesis, Gentle Giant mmmmm, now that's some prog you can set your watch to.

 

[Matt Till]

Not to derail this thread too much, but are there any modern(ish) prog acts that don't wank. The only example I can think of is Opeth. Because I love good prog, and King Crimson's modern prog is fantastic, but I don't know any other bands that do the prog minus huge solos.

I don't know how you would define prog then, for me, the wank is what makes it prog.

I don't know Opeth or King Crimson (aside from 2 songs, and an album I skimmed through and left). The only bands that spring to mind are Mars Volta or Gorch Fock (though they're more metal w/ a trombone). There's also is(was?) a local Providence band, Invalid Link Removed , that cites Prog as a big influence. Similarly, Invalid Link Removed , are apparently big fans of King Crimson.

If you want experimental music that isn't noise, then I can suggest Parts & Labor and Tyondai Braxton/Battles.

 

[Matt Till]

I gues "experimental music that isn't noise" would be the new breed of Prog. Because Prog was what all the art kids were doing back in the day. The most popular example of early prog would probaby be Pink Floyd.

 

[Brandt Scanlan]

Mars Volta is a great suggestion.

Believe me , I know Mars Volta, and love them their stuff.
