Something similar to PPT and also, very good : Osiric Tentacles

You meant Ozric Tentacles Their music can loosely be described as psychedelic. BTW, it's an awesome band.

My bad.

Genesis,Yes,King Crimson,Van der Graaf Generator,Tangerine Dream,Klaus Schulze (one of my favorites),Can,Magma (most original band ever period),Gentle Giant,Marillion,Pendragon,IQ,The Flower Kings,Spocks Beard,Camel,Harmonium,Focus. The list could go on and on,but I figured thats all I would share for now haha!

Here's the entire list of prog rock bands I've heard...Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Gentle Giant, Camel, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Captain Beefheart (that song Frownland is fucked up...most people think that's just a disorganized drugfest jam), Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Frank Zappa, Kansas, Styx, Porcupine Tree, Rare Bird and Unicorn...all great bands that define all that is prog rock...there are so many great genre of prog rock...space, symphonic, technical, etc...my personal fave is technical but there are great classic bands in the others like Floyd (space) or Moody Blues (symphonic)...

Another band I forgot to mention is Nektar,check out their Remember the Future release.It has only two songs on it,but is completely worth it!

This such a great damn catagory because it helps melt the mind. In that what I mean is it requires the listener to become enguaged
in the music. It just isnt some ear noise or candy.

Prog rock has always been my fav and currently it is dream Theater!

Some of my favourites:

Warhorse
Ash Ra Tempel
Eloy
The Moody Blues
Pavlog's Dog
Egg
Nektar
Can
Amon Düül II
Maneige
Grobschnitt
Hatfield & The North (with Richard Sinclair from Caravan!)
Arzachel

And a couple of thousand more!

Wow...there are so many bands listed that seem to foriegn to me...

My older brothers are huge fans of progressive rock , and they have introduced me to that music genre , and later I have learned to like it

Bands:

Jethro Tull
King Crimson
The Moody Blues
Procol Harum
Frank Zappa
Wigwam
Tabula Rasa
Emerson,Lake&Palmer
and of cource: Rush

Red has to be probably the best prog album ever.

Btw, guys, if any of you wants some rec about good old Italian prog rock bands, can ask me

I would recommend: Camel, Steve Hackett, Focus, Caravan, The Tangent, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, PFM, Bacamarte, Grobschnitt (up to 1981, the year of their last decent album), Twelfth Night (their debut album is a masterpiece, almost as good as Marillion's Script for a Jester's Tear), Procol Harum, Eloy (especially their 70s albums), Magenta, Satellite (neo-progressive band from Poland, amazing stuff), Gazpacho, Clepsydra (really good neo-prog). The list can be long, I'll be back later.:)

you should try some PFM (short for Premiata Forneria Marconi) - their 70s albums up to 1977 are awesome.

Woah, someone knows them I have been to a their concert recently...total ownage

Rush of course but probably an obvious choice? Anyway, I'm probably the biggest sucker for Devil Doll here (you shut up Mr. Doctor!), a band you either love or hate I guess.

One interesting and important band I forgot to mention is GONG - their 70s albums are great, a mix of psychedelia and space rock with jazz elements - incredible stuff.

They are a good band. I have some of their material.

Another band I would recommend is Krann. They're a Krautrock band that had some semi-hits in the 70's. Think of a jazz-ier version of ELP, and you might get the idea.

goblin - suspiria is an awesome album in my opinion better than roller

Ozric Tentacles is the only one that I can consitently listen to. Awesome, trippy shit.

My newest prog-rock discovery is Beardfish - amazing band, their music is not only complex and interesting, but also fun to listen to; they're influenced by bands such as Gentle Giant and 70s Genesis.

You know they are touring on Prog Nation 09 with Dream Theater and Pain Of Salvation, right?

Yes, I've read this some place.

Don't want to offend anybody, but let's keep DT and progressive metal OUT of this thread.

TRY GENTLE GIANT!

I skimmed through and saw no mention of Hawkwind (I may be mistaken). Hawkwind is a great prog/space rock band. Some of their good albums include Space Ritual, Warrior On The Edge Of Time, In Search Of Space.

"Hey, buddy, what does your continued existence have in common with the trees in Rush's 'The Trees'? Neither should be taken literally."

"OK, dude. You beating the crap out of me is like Peter Gabriel doing another album with Genesis: everyone keeps talking about it, but it's never gonna happen."

"When I'm done with you, you won't be able to keep track of whether it was Bruford or White that played drums on 'Heart of the Sunrise.'"

"You're gonna need so many transfusions that only King Crimson will have benefited more by the influx of new blood. Seriously, don't you think it was like a whole new band when Adrian Belew joined?"

"Your ass-kicking is gonna be just like 'Karn Evil 9': loud, fast, and perfected in one take ... except it won't go on for 29 minutes and 37 seconds, as it did in the original release."

"Don't be alarmed by the bustle in your hedgerow, Cochise. That's just a spring clean for the May queen!"

"Kickin' your ass is gonna be a lot easier than the guitar part in 'YYZ.' No joke, some of that shit's in, like, 10/8. Man, Alex Lifeson is underrated."

"Get ready to look like the lead singer of Marillion. When you walk down the street, very few people will be able to recognize you."

A band i forgot to mention and listen to quite Often is Focus (from the Netherlands). The only album that is a bit disappointing is Focus con Proby - Proby is the name of the vocalist they worked with on that album - it's one of the worst vocals I've ever heard. Still, the music is really good, I can tolarate (still with some difficulty) the vocals.

Man! i used to rock out to these guys like 15 years ago. Wow, reminds me good time, I need to go and dig out my records of these guys.

Another old, old Prog band I am really into right now is Procol Harum! Oh man, they are so good.
