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? ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

I have two albums by POS and I love them but FNM are just fantastic, The Real Thing is one of my favorite albums ever. No contest here. |

I had a compilation album of FNM for years. So I knew all the hits. But it wasn't nearly sufficient, you see. FNM are an albums band. I recently bought all the studio albums, and am really getting into the band. Fantastic stuff. Genre defying, challenging, funky, groovy, at times brutal, entertaining music. POS are also very good. I haven't heard nearly as much of their output though, I must confess. I have Remedy Lane, which is awesome. I also have Road Salt 1 and 2. I like 2 better. ------------- Hello, mirror.

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. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

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.

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.

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.

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. ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

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. ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

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

I got King for a Day... just a few days ago, and am loving it. Totally eclectic, maybe even more so than Angel Dust. It covers so many genres. Who could imagine Evidence and Cuckoo for Caca were by the same band, on the same album? ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

| FNM could be not "prog" in sense of this site, but they are close-minded to prog. the music is very eclectic, with elements of many styles . They could be considered as experimental nu-metal band (actually, they invented nu-metal) |

| Given that I had read lot's of praise for Pain of Salvation on this forum before, I'm really surprised that they are losing to an (arguably) non-prog band. Though I'm afraid to say that I know absolutley nothing from Faith no More, except that I knew their name already. Perhaps I've heard some song, but never knew it was them. |

I prefer POS. My brother is a huge Faith no More fan. Back in the 90's he would put their records (along with NIN) all day long. I know their songs by heart through unwanted repetition, but I can't stand them. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know.

Faith No More by a long distance, i think they are really progressive, they push the limits of any genre and no one sounds like them. I recommend "King Fo a Day.." and "Angel Dust", impressive albums |

I personally prefer Pain of Salvation - more proggy but with that metal edge. However, I would not question Faith No More's legacy and influence for many. I only really know and like Epic and From Out of Nowhere - a bit too nu-metal at times for me to delve deeper. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |
