I clicked on that link and closed it within seconds, this is exactly what is prog not supposed to be, it's supposed to be progressive, fun, exciting, thus not following any specific rules, it's for people who do not want sermons or to be preached upon, it's about clever individualism a wonderful listening experience full of layers that ever keep changing with every listen, also all sense grandiosity is believed to be just silly.

Also anyone putting down Genesis probably has not heard or appreciated early Genesis, what they meant/ did to prog moozik especially Gabriel era with Phil Collins on drums. Peter Gabriel first appearance in costume was wearing a red dress and a fox ontop of his head hahaha and his band had no idea up to the point of appearing on stage
It's just like saying to me, that my fav grumpy Robert Fripp's version of Heroes is better than David Bowie's.

Olav, this is actually really good! Except for the heavier metal droning the instrumentals are kept as they were originally. I like this version very much! Ha! Awesome! hahahahaha!!!! No idea of most what he is singing but it works! mhwoaaahhxxxxxx

They sing German version of the lyrics of Heroes. The vocalist is one of the guys in Rammstein, incidentally. Du, könntest Du schwimmen Wie Delphine, Delphine es tun Niemand gibt uns eine Chance Doch können wir siegen, Für immer und immer Und wir sind dann Helden Für einen Tag Ja... Ich, ich bin dann König Und Du, Du Königin Obwohl sie so unschlagbar scheinen Werden wir Helden Für einen Tag Dann sind wir Helden Für einen Tag Ich, ich glaub das zu träumen Die Mauer im Rücken war kalt Die Schüsse reißen die Luft Doch wir küssen, als ob nichts geschieht Und die Scham fiel auf ihre Seite Oh wir können sie schlagen für alle Zeiten Dann sind wir Helden an diesem Tag Dann sind wir Helden Dann sind wir Helden Dann sind wir Helden Nur diesen Tag Dann sind wir Helden Nur diesen Tag |

Interesting, Olav. Also the first time I ever heard Rammstein was with Rammstein das Boot

Hehe, a gentler introduction than I had I suspect. I first came across Rammstein when listening to the soundtrack of Lost Highway (which also features a Bowie tune incidentally). The two Rammstein tracks on that soundtrack was Rammstein and, if I recall correctly, Heirate Mich. The Bowie track on that soundtrack was I'm Deranged, just in case you wonder. |

Oh for crying out loud, prog is about listening to (and appreciating) the album as a whole from start to finish, not flitting about here and there till you find something you like. |

How to Enjoy Progressive Rock: You don't. Progressive Rock is not about enjoyment. You just pretend to know what you're talking about and hope that people will take you seriously.

I have on occasion described prog rock as music that you simultaneously endure and appreciate, in approximately equal measures. |

Weirdly enough, that's more how I define extreme Free-Jazz-metal and a lot of No Wave
