Hey, I'm new here, sorry if these guys have been suggested before... influential late 70s New York post-punk band, I'd suggest them as Prog-Related. http://www.myspace.com/televisionband" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/televisionband |

| Welcome to PA gumby! I did a quick search and couldn't find any previous thread on this band. However, only Special Collaborators can suggest bands for Prog Related. But if this band is well-known as I suppose maybe one will pick up one the suggestion and move it further. |

Having only listened to their first album and to the live album The Blow Up, I'm not sure we can describe them as "prog-related" even if their song "Marquee Moon" was 10 minutes long. Most of their songs seem to be written in the AABA form, but it's been a long time since I last listened to them. |

  As for Television, they're almost as prog-related as Patti Smith. |

it's time to create a post-punk subgenre...(similarly to post-rock and post-metal) ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

I don't know which relationship they can have with prog, but I like them as well as Tom Verlaine and Patti Smith. Well, at least Patti Smith is related to BoC that are Prog-related.... ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

They're great, but I hear no relation to prog in their output.
