There's a lot more to FNM than the hit singles. They're an albums band, really. The singles are comparatively commercial-sounding.

"Epic" is probably the only thing you've heard from the band.

And "Easy".

I hear a big influence from Patton-era FNM in Daniel Gildenlow's work with Pain Of Salvation. Is it just me? Both are very talented singers, in bands that go against the norm, and produce eclectic, complex music which doesn't easily fit into a genre classification.
I enjoy both, personally. What do you think? |
Hey Kashmir75, in your signature you mention part of screen name, do I know you from another forum? |
Maybe  What forum were you thinking of? |
Not sure...I've been on many of them.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily call them 'prog rock' as we know it. But what FNM did was definitely very 'progressive'. They melded together soul, funk, rap, thrash metal, jazz, lounge, punk, and everything in between. |
Agreed.

Even wikipedia says FNM have progressive rock elements.
They were influential on so many bands that followed them. Unfortunately, this includes the majority of the nu metal scene's perpetrators.

I bought Angel Dust when I was eleven, I listened to it every day that summer.  Although now days I prefer King For A Day ...Fool For A Lifetime. FNMs easily my favorite band that's not included on this site.

Both have done amazing things, but FNM has a dear place in my heart. Angel Dust and The Real Thing are two of my all-time favorites.

PoS have made 5 steller albums, 2 good ones and one thats OK, not to mention an exceptional acoustic live album and a very good live album. FNM are ok but not even close on quality.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

FNM for prog-related, perhaps?
I got The Real Thing around when it first came out; then Angel Dust as well. Man did I find Angel Dust hard to get into! I finally did learn to appreciate it, but I still prefer The Real Thing.
Never heard POS.
