Prog Rock
Wow. The suggestions keep coming. I have ordered some Porcupine Tree and the Big Big Train. Eldulcesol, I love the HIP! I have pretty much everything they have released and a couple of bootlegs. However, I don't consider them prog. The Tragically Hip is a great rock and roll band along the lines of REM and Pearl Jam. Really underappreciated and excellent live. |
I was a big fan of the first progressive wave but I had pretty much lost touch with the genre until I saw this thread a week or so ago. I sampled several of the bands mentioned and I found many of them to not suit my taste at all. To each his own, right? But the thread did send me on a quest to find some good modern progressive rock. The search took me to iTunes Radio and I found "Progman" under the classic rock tab on iTunes Radio. I've listened to it for a few hours now and I've heard some really good stuff. Give Progman a try. It's free if you have iTunes and it's also available as a streaming audio internet station at http://www.laut.fm/progman. but the website is in German. |
Ptmcontulting, in digging around a little bit I just found out that Neal Morse is now in a band called Flying Colors with of all people Steve Morse (no relation). Morse used to be with the Dixie Dregs and Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater is also in this band. There's an article in May's Premier Guitar magazine about them. |
