It's my bestest music. Generally prog bands seem to have a sell by date though and for most it was a few decades ago. I don't do much recommendation stuff but based on your list, if you are not familiar with them then maybe worth checking out Pallas, especially The Sentinel album 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Oddly enough, it's often thought that women generally don't care for prog but both the previous and current incarnations of mrs Spiders like some prog among their diverse tastes, while I'm the big girl's blouse who tells them to turn that racket down. The current mrs has CDs by Yes, PFloyd and Gabriel era Genesis while the former had some Jethro Tull, Kate Bush and mid 70s Genesis and Peter Gabriel. OK I admit to having Virgin era Tangerine Dream stuff and Three of a Kind and Discipline by KC but they're not really prog are they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I love OFTV. One of my favourite Genesis tracks and the one that made me realise that almost all of the tunes I prefer are Tony Banks compositions. I think A Curious Feeling is THE greatest Prog album ever. Have you heard this Genesis B-side? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Not a prog fan myself, but I thought Genesis version of “Can’t hurry love” was very good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) One for the Vine is marvellous. While we're OT, have we done this one yet? One of Rutherford's finest bass moments, I reckon.

wateroftyne Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 ...and, back on-topic, I've just finished this DVD which I bought for a couple of quid off eBay. I've read all the Yes books and that, but it adds a lot more and is surprisingly frank. Worth picking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppers Ready for me is a very good rendition of the original or my preferred version from Seconds Out. Worth a listen. Wasn't so keen on the 1st Revisited album. Looking at the Albert Hall live version where amazon short clips allow you to get an idea of how the album sounds Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't read all of this, but Beedster, do you realize Geddy Lee was EXTREMELY influenced by Chris Squire? And all the high singing is Chris, above Jon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yes broke the mould really. They had a little skinny reedy voiced singer when macho hairy chested screamers were the vogue. Steve Howe used a semi acoustic and a Fender combo rather than a Marshall stack and a Les Paul. They had a jazz drummer rather than a heavy 2 and 4 thumper, and Chris with his Rick and scooped tone.

It is an amazing thing to hear, must have been utterly groundbreaking in the day when you had either a nondescript thump or a middy and often distorted tone that sounded more like guitar. For me, as a newby to them, it's the bass parts AND the bass tone that are captivating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Not an original composition but Lordy isn’t Chris’s tone and playing off the scale good on this track. Wonder if it’s his 21 fretter Rick on here ? Steve Howes’ playing not too shabby either - well worth a listen. Play LOUD ☺️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
