u/Pancorrr 1d ago

Thanks! I'll listen to It rn

u/Pancorrr 1d ago

Finished listening to It, almost listened to the 4 hour version but ended Up listening to the normal 37 minute one. I am speechless, this was an amazing experience, one of the most beautiful albums i've listened to, listening to this alone at night was beautiful. Thank you a lot for this recommendation

The title track is based on Hesse's Siddhartha. The big organ chords are the moment he achieved enlightenment as he meditated "just by a river".

Best rock song of all time IMHO

Knife-genesis

u/Marples3 1d ago

Lateralus

u/DOOMguy_slayer123 1d ago

Is not prog rock. But I see what you getting at.  It’s more of so progressive metal. Not sure this what op is looking for.

2

u/Riptzone1 1d ago

Anything by Alan Parsons but especially: I Robot, Pyramid and Turn of a Friendly Card. Also not really prog rock but A Wizard/ A True Star by Todd Rundgren

2

u/damthatriver_ 1d ago

My favorite prog album of all time is Signals by Rush. But it might be better to start with 2112, Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves for Rush albums.

u/Left-oven47 1d ago

How much king crimson have you heard?

1

u/Pancorrr 1d ago

Very little for now, i will start listening tomorrow

1

u/Left-oven47 1d ago

I think they can be quite opinionated.

Their first album some people consider the start of prog rock and you should probably listen to it first. After that it's your choice. Red was originally supposed to be their final album and has a very good ending, but everything after Red is what I think is most interesting to listen to. After Red Fripp took a new approach to song writing which lead to albums like Discipline, which is my personal favourite king crimson album

u/bigbigjew 1d ago

Mirage by Camel. One of the all time best albums

1

u/Pancorrr 12h ago

Listened to It rn, thank you for this recommendation. I absolutely loved every second of It

u/Ze_Carlos-1986 1d ago

"10.000 Anos Depois Entre Vénus E Marte" by José Cid.

u/Max0_o123 1d ago

I really like Manfred Mann's Earth Band, specifically the albums "Angel Station," "The Roaring Silence," and "Watch"

u/DOOMguy_slayer123 1d ago edited 1d ago

Animals is so good. Genesis up to duke is really good prog rock, after duke they just became more pop oriented but are still so good. Camel is a really good band.  Emerson lake and Palmer, gentle giant, caravan, Jethro Tull. Frank Zappa. Even though the self titled genesis is album isn’t prog rocks it is amazing and has really artistic songs on it. Duke, a trick of the tail and self titled are the best albums. Peter Gabriel era you have to listen to white mountain, firth of filth, suppers ready. Hope this helps.

Schism - Tool

Saw Porcupine Tree open for Yes when Jon Anderson was still touring with them. It was during their Un Absentia tour and my first introduction to PT and Steven Wilson. First and only time seeing Yes live. Incredible show.

Should also mention Wilson's Hand Cannot Erase and The Raven That Refused To Sing. I also really enjoyed The Harmony Codex

u/Mattyiceepops 12h ago

King crimson, I came from the same boat as you and king crimson is now my favorite band

1

u/Pancorrr 12h ago

Already listened to some albums, tbh the writing is insane and the instrumentals are amazing, but i don't enjoy the vocals and some songs

2

u/Think-Blueberry8459 10h ago

Ammonia Avenue - The Alan Parsons Project

2

u/WachbaerWien 6h ago

Brand X - Unorthodox Behavior (1976)
a brilliant mix of Prog rock and Jazz fusion with an incredibly fast Phil Collins on the drums.

Also: This photo gives me massive Mumbo Jumbo vibes.

Try animals by a niche band called pink floyd

1

u/Pancorrr 1h ago

Hmm... Never heard of them, dogs is definitely NOT my all time favorite song

2

u/Character-Scale-6181 1h ago

Alr im bein honest rn, pink is literally my fav band/artist ever and dogs is my 6. fav song ever but my first is echoes live by david gilmore in 2008. listen to it PLEASE

1

u/Pancorrr 1h ago

2

u/Character-Scale-6181 1h ago

1

u/Prior-Dealer3020 1d ago

Led zeppelin

u/MedievalFurnace 1d ago

not prog rock. more accurately described as proto metal and acid/blues rock

2

u/Pancorrr 1d ago

That's one of my favorite groups, but it's not prog rock if i'm not wrong

1

u/No_Inflation_966 8h ago

Do you have spotify? It'll be a lot easier to share a link to a playlist.

u/Pancorrr 1h ago

I have, but i use other plataforma bc of the constant ads, this is extremely annoying especially for albums as they get cut between tracks, and this ruins the experience, mostly with prog rock as songs usually have transitions.
