Never Heard It

Originally posted by dtguitarfan Did you hear Learning to Live?  I think it is one of the most fantastic Progressive compositions ever - the keyboardist starts out playing this pattern: 3 3 4 5.  When the other band members come in, they are all playing different metres.  I can't figure out what the bassist or drummer are doing exactly, though I have tried.  However, I can tell you that the guitarist plays a straight 2/4 beat, which makes a pretty funky pattern on top of the keyboardist's 15/8 pattern.

Actually, Petrucci plays 15/4 over Rudess' 15/8 pattern. He plays only the quarter notes, so it sounds like a straightforward 2/4 or 4/4 rhythm that shifts back and forth over the 15/8 pattern. What's really cool is that before Petrucci comes in, Portnoy's snare clicks do the same: straight quarter notes over the 15/8 pattern. But by the time Petrucci joins in, the drums shift to an actual 15/8 pattern, so the guitar and the drums complement each other's rhythm. This kind of metric shifting is something DT do a lot.

Personally, I never heard anything by Van der Graaf Generator, but I'm changing that now.

^Moore, not Rudess

Yes - Tormatoe, or any thing after Drama, though i'm aware of the hits..

Never heard almost the entire solo Hackett canon ... except for the aforementioned albums. As in, never heard the rest of "Momentum", never heard "The Bay of Kings", never heard "Till We Have Faces", etc.

It's not important, 'twas a small jest - the thread asks for major prog albums you've never heard so said you've never heard ANY of Steve Hacketts albums...  then listed his two most MAJOR albums as the ones you have heard. I thought it amusing, evidently you didn't. No big deal.

I was listening to Eddie Jobson's Theme of Secrets and I realized that I've never listened to anything by UK.

The only Pink Floyd albums I have heard in their entirety are DSOTM and Animals - I have never heard any of the others in their entirety.  Certain prog lovers say that I am missing something...
