although I do consider them to be failry deep into the prog waters for a metal band, I think that Mastodon have the potential for becoming a pretty big porg-metal band on their upcoming release.

Talking about Black Sabbath, they actually made a couple of tunes that could be rated as prog-related (or even art rock) during the seventies. Not too many, but a couple. And now for something completely different. In Flames are capable of turning out Opeth-like progressive death metal. In Flames already sound quite similair to Opeth (during their less proggy moments), and they have made a couple of semi progressive songs. I doubt they will consider making more progressive material, but they certainly could. Edited by Philéas - June 16 2006 at 16:02 |

Mhm interresting Topic,
Personally I would have Loved to see Level 42 go prog, the fact that im a bassist myself and would have been able to see Mark King create Prog Slap Riffs? Id pay alot of money for that :)
Level 42 would have been awesome in the Prog world!

Except ATDI already moved into the realm of progressive rock through a band called The Mars Volta...

In addition to being a good porg metal band, they could have potential to be prog metal as well |

Talking Heads, Red Hot Chili Pepers and as someone said earlier The Police. Also probably Hendrix if he hadn't died, and The Beatles if they didn't split up; they were moving in a prog direction. The Who could have been prog. Also if Tchchovsky, Beetoven and Bach were in the 1970s, they would have out done Yes and Genesis in terms of prog.

I s'pose Spinal Tap could have gone prog, too.......they did have their Jazz/Fusion stage, after all.........Stone'enge isn't too far removed from a prog classic as it stands.........

i agree with whoever said the talking heads...they probably had one of the finest rythm sections of the 80's new wave movement..and they wrote some provocative lyrics such as ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Yeah the Cure could have pulled off prog, wasn't their album 17 seconds a bit spacy sounding?

"Prog" is all in your mind, anyway.
Just call them prog, burn them onto a prog compilation and VOILA! -- they are prog. (In your house, anyway....)
The term is very subjective, and has lost almost all usefulness as a means to identify similar artists -- if it ever served that purpose!
(Each person here has his/her own take on the word. It is pointless to ask "is X prog?" or "could Y play prog, if they tried?" because prog now has no real limits. You will never get concensus.)
Why ask strangers (who are just fans, & mostly people born long after the "true" prog era) how to categorize YOUR collection, anyway?
Beyond a few broadly-applicable ones, CATEGORIES SUCK!!!
There -- that felt good! I'm gonna go have a coffee now, and listen to some music, and not even worry about its supposed "prog" or non-prog status. If it's in my collection, it is good music -- period.
