Modern prog without influence from the 70's - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I hope that was said in jest. Geek

Totally with you on the notion that Radiohead has no old prog influences that are apparent there.

If the music doesn't resemble the genre in which it allegedly belongs, it doesn't belong, it is something different. Which leads us back to that whole prog vs progressive argument which has been flogged like a dead horse.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Up to OK Computer, the only prog rock band whose influence I can hear in Radiohead is Pink Floyd. But I do hear the influence of Beatles, Nick Drake and some other rock from the 60s and 70s. Kid A is influenced by krautrock, Kraftwerk, etc.

^^ Symphonic prog is itself a 70s genre so technically, it doesn't sound very plausible that there could be modern symph prog with NO 70s influence. It may not be PROMINENTLY based on 70s prog or sound like an imitation but it would have to have some 70s symph prog influence, else what is it that makes it symph prog at all? There is prog without influence of 70s symph prog or the so called classic prog but you'll usually find that such music is influenced by Krautrock, electronic prog or something from the ARZ basket. If it has no 60s or 70s influence at all in the strict sense of the word, it can't be ROCK in the first place.

Yeah I do see the similarities of those two bands with 70s now that I think of it. Sweet. What about Cynic though?

Radiohead is a really great answer! And I didn't mean prog with no influences I meant with no influence of old prog.

Have you even read what was posted here after Radiohead was suggested? If you took some time, you might find that the band Can and Neu! that I mentioned are both prog, and pre-date Genesis and Yes by a hair, and that we have no (sub)genre old prog defined here.

And any band who are influenced by modern prog are good answers too since it's not a direct link.

Read what I wrote about Cynic, dear chap. Any influence by modern prog indirectly will lead you to older prog. Any musician that plays in the bands included in our archives will be able to tell you that they were influenced by the music they heard during their youth, and that later on they discovered more music, different styles and genres - and that in the end, these influences show in their music.

You are on a quest that will not bring you the answer you are looking for. I hope your previous post was the result of selective reading, not cluelessness.

I sure did not read this part... My wrong...

Noone said they couldn't, Mr. Lebowski. There's quite a bit of music out there that gets it right, without sounding too little or too much like something else - that's not the point here.

Errrm.... your 'own personal general culture' - that is self contradictory in multiple ways. Try some other words, because I don't get what you are trying to say here.

I just did. Now that you got informed, could you summarize what you learned?

Sorry, that's the teacher in me speaking... Wink
