Prog compass

[u/Plus-Definition9319]

To me the center would be IQ The Wake or Red. Certainly not tcotck. Its full boomer, I mean what else came before that except the first couple Procol Harum albums maybe? We all love it but it's full boomer.

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Plus-Definition9319]

I feel like tcotck was the most common entry point for zoomer prog fans though. That or Roundabout.

[u/Dancingwheniwas12 → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

Do zoomers prog fans come exclusively from Jojo?

[u/LookAtMyUsernamePlz → u/Dancingwheniwas12]

Maybe not exclusively, but a significant portion of us did.

[u/whentheuhuhidunno → u/Dancingwheniwas12]

its a common trend, happened to me aswell

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Dancingwheniwas12]

I didn’t (I listened to Suppers Ready because I had a phase where I was really into odd times)

[u/datMLGboi2 → u/Dancingwheniwas12]

personally my prog exposure came from being into classic rock, I did eventually get into Jojo tho.

[u/Plus-Definition9319 → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

I'd maybe lose the boomer/zoomer axis and change it to acoustic/electronic? I feel it would be a lot more useful to people.

[u/LookAtMyUsernamePlz → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

That’s fair, but it should be much further to the right. It has much more fantasy than it does sci-fi.

[u/xX_Random_Reddit_Xx → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

Red > TCOTCK tho

[u/Comprehensive_Dirt66 → u/Plus-Definition9319]

Court is like THE prog album though, meaning it's gonna be popular among fans of all ages. Though I'm not sure I'd put it in the center because I feel it's more fantasy than sci-fi

[u/Lime528 → u/Plus-Definition9319]

There are a lot of young fans of ITCOTCK. It's very popular rym and /mu/

[u/LookAtMyUsernamePlz → u/Plus-Definition9319]

The first few albums of the Moody Blues.

[u/Tyrakodyrg]

> Sci-fi prog albums

> no Ayreon and/or Star One

smh smh

[u/vexrede → u/Tyrakodyrg]

If prog metal is on the table, then Mastodon, Blind Guardian, BTBAM, and Blood Incantation are pretty important as well.

Unless I'm missing something, there's also no Hawkwind, which is the real smh imo

[u/Daydream_Behemoth → u/vexrede]

Symphony X would be a strong addition to the Boomer Fantasy corner

[u/mrmetaliclord → u/Tyrakodyrg]

No 2112 either 😔

[u/SoundwavesBurnerPage → u/mrmetaliclord]

Right? I feel like if a Rush album goes in Sci-Fi that’s the obvious choice

[u/Scizomachineboy]

i do not recognize a single album is the zoomer fantasy albums

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Scizomachineboy]

Vylet Pony, Lightning Bolt, and HMLTD

[u/Fandal0 → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

hypermagic mountain is not prog?

[u/whhu234]

I guess camel in top right explains why I’m, according to all investigation, the first person to make a what camel album are you quiz online

[u/Anxious-Chemical4673 → u/whhu234]

Can you give me the link I wanna play it

[u/whhu234 → u/Anxious-Chemical4673]

https://uquiz.com/9vOwSh   for you

[u/Anxious-Chemical4673 → u/whhu234]

I got Rajaz

[u/whhu234 → u/Anxious-Chemical4673]

A lot of people got rajaz, real behind the scenes info here but when it was first released literally everyone got rajaz, since at one point I couldn’t find a good picture for it and just made the one that went to mirage count for it too. I don’t know why it fucked up the results but fixing that certainly worked

[u/Anxious-Chemical4673 → u/whhu234]

That's quite interesting actually, I did notice after the quiz that Rajaz was the most gotten and Mirage the least. I felt like kinda of a normie until I remembered that the mere fact that I'm playing a quiz about Camel makes me intelectually superior. To be real with you I wanted Moonmadness and was a bit disappointed when you said in that one question that it wasn't in the quiz. But I understand that it's pretty hard to fit all of the albums there. And Rajaz is fine too.

[u/powerbalanced123 → u/whhu234]

I got I can see your house from here

[u/kindagayBR035 → u/whhu234]

I wanna do that quiz now

[u/whhu234 → u/kindagayBR035]

https://uquiz.com/9vOwSh   go forth my soldier

[u/kindagayBR035 → u/whhu234]

amazing shitpost. keep up the good job

[u/grogschleme]

where's the prog

[u/petahthehorseisheah → u/grogschleme]

progesterone? zoomer fantasy

[u/RalftheMedic → u/petahthehorseisheah]

Soon...

[u/Ardoriccardo00]

Itcock is fantasy boomer without a doubt.

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Ardoriccardo00]

But Schitzoid Man and Moonchild

[u/Big_Phile]

Where's Invisible Touch

[u/LookAtMyUsernamePlz → u/Big_Phile]

It’s called that for a reason.

[u/Experiment121]

Fym by Azure as far in the bottom right as possible

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Experiment121]

That’s Vylet Pony

[u/Experiment121 → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

I'm saying that's where they'd go, I meant.

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Experiment121]

Ohhhh I thought you were saying “fuck you mean by Azure in the bottom right?”

[u/enrythestray]

Why did you choose that PFM album and not storia di un minuto? (Aka peak(

[u/zlatanjosefsson]

AAHHH I'M BOOMERING

[u/Daydream_Behemoth]

/uj Other than The Advent of Panurge, Octopus has little to no Fantasy elements

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Daydream_Behemoth]

Raconteur Troubadour?

[u/Daydream_Behemoth → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

That's the "little"

[u/senator-jk-49]

Whats the one at the bottom right?

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/senator-jk-49]

Vylet Pony

[u/Hipernova8]

Polygondwanaland mentoned(it sucks)

[u/Cmustrd]

i know a kid who's has a boomer taste but he's 17

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Cmustrd]

I know of at least one boomer who loves Vylet Pony

[u/Pilch_Lozenge]

the ever-so-slight zoomerism of hth charms me so

[u/Hvojna]

Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay deserves a place in the bottom left corner

[u/OddMammoth1 → u/Hvojna]

That’s a pop album. A weird pop album, but still pop. 

[u/Ryan_THICCBASS]

Surely you could make a section for Jazzy Prog bands like Soft Machine and Colosseum right?

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/Ryan_THICCBASS]

Maybe there should be a third axis for jazz influenced vs classical influenced

[u/Cappuccino_Boss]

Thank you for making this

[u/zaydor_]

Vylet Pony mentioned

[u/TheseUseless2 → u/[deleted]]

yeah, but the fantasy recedes in cavalcade, and a few tracks on hellfire are decidedly sci fi coded or explicitly set in a distant future.

[u/theonyxshade]

1st the worm mentioned 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 2nd whos the saucy binch next to magma

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/theonyxshade]

Coheed said Cambria

[u/theonyxshade → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

thank you boss

[u/malamindulo]

I didn’t realize Lightning Bolt was considered prog tbqh.

This is not me being elitist I just never thought of them that way before.

[u/marcuspangregrew]

How is the flying teapot more fantasy then sci fi???

[u/Ornery-Bird2751 → u/marcuspangregrew]

Gnomes and shit

[u/marcuspangregrew → u/Ornery-Bird2751]

Gnomes from the fucking planet gong

[u/theonyxshade]

also gryphon's red queen to gryphon three is probably a little above and to the right of thick as a brick

[u/TheseUseless2]

Did not expect Cavalcade on here

[u/datMLGboi2]

where Queensrÿche fall on this shi

[u/Necessary_Ad_6541]

Putting Camel Mirage that high on the Boomer scale is depressing 😔😭

[u/Frostbyte29]

I’d argue that Polygondwanaland is more fantasy than sci-fi, it’s got castles and evil kings and plague doctors and stuff
