Probably but these are fun to do anyway. Plus it's not like there are no other options. If I said "only 70's" without the "mostly" I wonder if the results would be that much different. Are there really that many people on here who never left the seventies(aside from Psych Paul that is)?

I'm constantly being amazed by the creativity and talent of the 21st Century artists but I have also loved discovering the music from the "old" ("classic") period and the "middle" period. I am blown away by how much music was out there that I was completely oblivious to (e.g. RPI, Neo, as well as music from Japan, Scandanavia, France, and Kosmische Musik).
Voted "New and Middle" because the bands/albums I'm discovering from there are much more interesting to me; the old stuff was fresh and innovative for its time--analogous to the influences of Scott Joplin, Robert Johnson, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, Gershwin brothers, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, and Shostakovich in the 1920s and 30s--but I enjoy the music that the "classic era" prog artists opened the door for as much if not more: bands like Univers Zero and Art Zoyd, the Post Rock explorers, Anathema and Pendragon, Toby Driver and David Sylvian, Ulver and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kate Bush and Tirill Mohn, Kscope and AltrOck Productions, Pär Lindh and After Crying, Riccardo Principe and Pagan Folk, operatic metal and atmospheric djent. So much (more) great music since the 70s!

Definitely the 70's, which were the most creative, original and diversified. So, late 60's to 1979.

60s and 70s. 80s - not much to like there for me! Least favorite, prog-wise 90s - nice resurgence, especially Sweden 00s and 10s - every year has at least a few interesting albums, I respect that

I personally like the old school prog sound no matter the release/recording date. xD I love Yes as much as Transatlantic because they both represet the kind of sound I like. :)
So yeah, I don't have a fave era but there are certain textures/aspects to the overall sound of a band which I like more than the others in prog. I can't stand prog metal with growly vocals for example. Or for example, I absolutely adore the hammond organ. Edited by Hrychu - July 01 2020 at 09:53 |

Surely the first era.
I would say from 1969 to 1973 plus Rock Bottom (1974). In my opinion, in 1975 begins the decline of prog. |

I'm unsure of what the basis of my answer should be. Most of the albums I have are from the 70s, but most of the music I currently listen to is from the 21st century. Although my favourite group is Van der Graaf Generator, generally speaking I don't regard the 70s artists quite as highly as many on this site do. Fortunately, AFlowerKingCrimson provided the "Mostly only old and newer" option which seem to be the best choice for me.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
