Prog Rock Revisited.... ( Archived) (42)

Sep 8, 2013 3:12 PM CST Prog Rock Revisited....
bodleing: In the mid sixties we started to hear strange and intriguing music fro the West Coast of the States. This was termed Progressive Music All went well for some years, the music spread to the UK and spawned many new bands.
Unfortunately around the turn of the decade the term Prog Rock replaced the term Progressive Rock. Probably just coincidence, but the now Prog Rock bands climbed up their own a**hole with self indulgent never ending pieces of tedium and tried to fool us this was 'progressive'.

Like I said...thank god for the pistols...the dinosaurs were almost extinct!!!


The influences that bounced back and forth.
Some U.S. bands made it in Europe, but now in the U.S. and vice versa.
There are albums I have from the time I lived in Europe that not never received radio time in the U.S.
What I considered Progressive was Echo and the Bunnymen, Ice House genre.

He's dead also isn't he?


Yes, he died some years ago, after a life in asylums or under the care of his family.

I used to like Uriah, had 7 Albums. They fired David Byron because
he was an Alcoholic, he died young after his liver packed up.

This is whats getting me fired up right now...

Porqupine Tree frontman Steven Wilsons 3rd solo outing while still involved with PT, No-man, Blackfield and numerous re-engineering projects...
The first solo album (Insurgentes) was a perfect companion to his PT offerings and set the bar so high that the second recording (Grace for Drowning) really hadn't a hope of matching up to...This all changed with album 3, 'The Raven that refused to sing', this stands up as not only the best of the solo work but is equal to the very best of the entire PT back catalogue...Frankly, this is a masterpiece...
I have the full CD's worth here, see what you think....
Steven Wilson and PT have been likend to the natural successors of the vacant position that was once occupied by the mighty Pink Floyd, its my opinion that SW/PT have moved the dark and brooding Floydean musical ethic firmly into the 21st centuary....



Enjoy....head banger....
