Could you list a few bands?

I never understood the "progressive" label. Opeth is progressive metal or something, aren't they? Isn't tool progressive something or other? Both are great.

Yeah it is kinda confusing. I think of Prog as King Crimson, Yes and Genesis. But I've also heard it slapped on bands like Opeth and old Rush.

I like Steven Reich, some John Cage and there are others I have heard and that I like quite a bit. Also I think Radiohead has some very progressive music (shit with weird beats that make the song).
I have a hard time with noise music, like unedited sounds of machines or just sounds. I think I would sit through 4'33".

If you mean prog rock, then I sure do...which is a Roundabout way of saying Yes, I would Rush to Kansas for a chance to see King Crimson. 😉

I was in a short lived band that did progressive death metal versions of the first three Star Wars soundtracks. Does that count?
It sounded like this...

I do. I was a bigger fan back in the day. King Crimson, Yes, ELP, etc. I haven't kept up much with more modern progressive stuff, though.

I'm primarily an old school metalhead, but I've never heard anything bad from Porcupine Tree.

Try Steven Wilson or Porcupine Tree, and if you want something heavier check out Gojira or Ihsahn!

Progressive rock and alternative are my two favorite genres. Anything like that?

Those are my two favs, but with a dash of some heavy metal, acid rock, jazz, hip hop. With occasional classical, soul, arias, and even some old country. About the only kind of music I don't really like is "bro-country", how's that for a genre mix 🙂

Somali Yacht Club
Puta Volcano.....and such.

I have no idea what progressive music is, and if it is compared to regressive music. Mom to former band geeks, maybe I should ask them.

The Moody Blues basically created prog. rock. Glad they finally made into the Rock Hall

I got hooked in the late '70's. Still plenty of good stuff being made
Visit house of progarcives, progarcives, prog streaming...

I own a lot of older music in what I consider progressive rock. Hawkwind, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, Procol Harem, King Crimson.

I Googled up a list of progressive rock bands and, yes, I definitely listen to some of them. But, I confess, I had trouble seeing the commonality between the bands listed.

Of the ones on the list, these are the ones whose music I've actually purchased: Alan Parsons Project, Blue Öyster Cult (have seen in concert too), Boston, Kate Bush, The Decemberists, Electric Light Orchestra, Golden Earring, Jethro Tull, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, The Moody Blues, Todd Rundgren, Rush, Split Enz, Styx, and Supertramp.

The commonality? Don't expect to find any other than mostly good music that isn't promoted by the music industry...

I do. Rush is my favorite. Now enjoy a lot Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree. But I enjoy Good music in general.
