Czechia should own that genre. Prague Rock. I'm not making a mistake, actually, it's everyone else who's wrong.

"""Progressive""" rock my ass.

Can anyone even tell me what the "progressive" in """progressive""" rock is even supposed to imply?

Is there anything """progressive""" about stone-aged rock? psyduck;

Yes.

And to be honest, I think rock is actually the single worst """genre""" in music.

I know you people like to say 'haha i like anything except country haha xD XD', but let's be serious:

1. If you say that unironically, you're an idiot.

2. It really should be rock.

Let's take a fuck;ing look at """rock""" """""music"""""". Take a look at one of the most popular rock """bands""": Radiohead.

The name """rock""" implies """music""" you can """rock""" out to - but who the fuck; actually wants to rock out to some whiny depressing ponytail-wearing succboi wailing over beats that sound like they were made by Aphex Twin's retarded half-brother who likes arbitrarily putting guitar over things? killyourself;

If I ever want to kill myself but can't quite commit, all I have to do to push me over the edge is listen to Kid A. If one of the most popular bands in a genre makes me want to (http://i.imgur.com/GfA7ifp.gif),... how could it possibly be a good genre? goonish

I mean I don't really think they're shit either they're just... a good band. They've been somewhat influential though probably not at much as they should have been given their popularity.
Also the Mars Volta was mostly pretty good

Post by: Samus Aran on August 14, 2018, 10:44:12 PM
i never actually got into the mars volta all that much but i liked de-loused well enough. good album.

radiohead on the other hand i still really like a lot tbh, but my radiohead phase has long since ended so i don't really actively listen to them anymore. maybe i'll throw kid a on the turntable tonight for old time's sake. i still legitimately really like kid a and in rainbows a lot

I basically exclusively listen to progressive metal/rock. This thread was actually kind of hilarious.

Progressive just means it doesn't follow typical song structure, that the music progresses as the song goes on.

Here are a few different bands that fit the progressive genre:

Pink Floyd
Rush
Yes
King Crimson
Mars Volta
some Beatles
Between the buried and me
Devin Townsend
Plini
Polyphia
Opeth


Basically any genre of music can have the prefix "progressive"
