 Topic: The 80s..the worst era for prog.Posted: May 26 2005 at 07:27 |

I personally think that the 80s is the worst era of prog and does not got any really incredible fantastic albums. I think the 70s is the best era and all the succesfull bands in the 70s seemed to go a bit more to the commercial side of music and the synths sounds are horrible IMO. So i was just wondering if anybody knew any band that made their best prog album in the 80s. (Except for Queensryche)

I dont think may would argue with you, that the 70's was the best time for prog There was a lot of crap around in the 80's anyway, but there was good prog rock.. Script for a jesters tear - Marillion

Isildurs Bane. They released their first album in the early eighties. Genuine symphonic progressive, influenced by fusion and swedish instrumental music. After a while the fusion-part of their music got stronger, taking them even further away from commercial music. Edited by Sekkyoku |

I think the 70's were the best, then the eighties with Marillion, IQ, Pendragon, Twelfth Night, Pallas etc., then the nineties and then the naughties: a slow decline. There's more prog than ever before, but the quality is getting less and less with each decennium. Sounds pretty negative, but there are still a lot of gems to discover. Flowers in the asphalt...

yeah... Turn of A Friendly Card, courtesy of Mr Parsons. What a good album that was. Did anyone mention Fact or Fiction by Twelfth Night?

Greenback : King Crimson - Red is from 1975! But anyway, their 80's albums are decent.

The reincarnated Crimson....Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair.....not to mention Fripp's various projects, like the League..., and his advances in Frippertronics. Fripp and his crew (mainly Belew and Levin) helped keep the prog ship upright.

Yes, mostly just crap. A few good ones but not many.
The 70's groups that continued to release albums were only shadows of their past. Even the 90's was a lot better decade in progressive music. The 80's certainly was the decade of neo-progressive but I fail to see anything good (and progressive) in that genre. It almost destroyed prog. |

I'm sure that Greenback means The Red King Crimson album "Discipline". I would also add the Blue and the Yellow one. |

I would say that the 80's wasn't a devastating period, but it was a
slow one... especially for those of us who like or prog pop-free. I
just don't understand people who say our current decade is bad for prog
though - we're in the midst of a new progressive explosion, friends!
