Cracked.com's explanation of prog.
The concept album is a staple of progressive rock. Examples range from Pink Floyd's Animals (about the evils of capitalism) to Rush's 2112 (about the virtues of capitalism), and Uriah Heep's Demons and Wizards (elves and shit).

The Dreaming wrote:Don't know how I missed the Rudess - Tarkus link. I have been wanting to hear how he stacks up against Keith Emerson for a while. Dream Theater covers everyone, no one covers Dream Theater. They are all among the most talented players of their respective instruments alive.
I recently heard that Nobuo Uematsu, the guy who composed most of the music for Squaresoft for some 10-15 years (Final Fantasy) considers Keith Emerson his greatest influence. I believe it. Just listen to this for God's sake.

Hi all, great to see a Prog thread on a forum like this!
Not read all 8 pages yet but I'll get the finger out soon enough!
In the meantime, if you're unfamiliar with Moon Safari I highly recommend checking them out, quite a refreshing change from alot of the other current Prog efforts.
No metal in their stuff at all and it's quite sugar coated to say the least with some dodgy/questionable lyrics but it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face - Summer music!
A bit of everything in their music too. Some CSNY, Yes, Moody Blues etc
Three of their songs . . .

So far pretty unheard of and largely ignored by Magazines, critics, etc
So hopefully someone here enjoys and jumps on the bandwagon to support this much under-rated band!
Enjoy!

Glad you found your way over here, Palm Lake Mustachio!
When you have the time, browse through the pages here in Vespers. Some prog groups have their own threads, like
Yes,
King Crimson, the
Moodies, and more. Feel free to jump in to any of them, even older ones.
