Fun Stuff > BAND
Suggest some bands? :D Please? I need some help.
La Creme:
I think the Mars Volta and Coheed & Cambria are both incredibly watered down prog. Prog is all about musicianal showmanship and virtuosity. It's about a bunch of kickass musicians getting together and showing off how awesome they are.
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Yes
Liquid Tension Experiment
Dream Theatre
Gordian Knot
Spiral Architect
Symphony X
etc.

Traditional prog is about musical masturbation.
Mars Volta is about musical masturbation at the same time as makinig a lot of noise. They can be likened to the autoerotic asphyxiator, who needs to tie a noose around his neck while jerking off in order to get off.
Coheed and Cambria are about musical masturbation at the same time as being geeky. They can be likened to the geeky computer guy who jerks off in the school library in public while looking at the newest National Geographic.
Neither are "watered down" prog. They are just prog directed at individuals outside the traditional prog audience. Mars Volta are prog for depressed suicidal freaks, and Coheed and Cambria are prog for pixie stick addicts.
Hope this helps clear some things up.
Oh, and. Yes sucks. Just clearing things up a little.
Robbo:
Wouldn't Spastic Ink be Prog for geeks? As they're all about computers and etc. And and they do more wankt tech music stuff rather that just straight up progression.
