Walter. At the risk of receiving a pile of PM's telling me off for starting you off, I would like to know the answers to questions about your attitude to music which have been bothering me for some time now. Here goes: 1. Why is 1989 your cut off point for "decent" music? 2. What specific date in 1989? 1st April? 31st December? 3. Why not 1988? Personally, I don't see a great deal of difference between the two years as far as releases go. 4. Nor can I see much difference with 1990 either. Why? 5. What exactly do you define as being good music, and have any bands produced any since 1989? 6. Have you ever thought that you are missing out just a tinsy insy bit as far as some of the great music released by new bands since 1989? 7. For that matter, have you ever listened to any of said new stuff? If so, how can you possibly make a judgement? I think I'll go to the pub now  ------------- Enhance your life.

| Koenjihyakkei, Cerberus Shoal. Those are the only ones I can think of that fall under this sites definition of Prog. If it was all genres the list would be a lot longer. |

God bless the 1990's. The awakening from the vacuous 80's. The 80's where technology and angst were disguised as creation. Where bands known for their progressive work were churning out tasteless pop irritations. Even bands like King Crimson were barely a couple poly rhythms over the threshold of being a Police clone. Only the metal/crossover scene was shaping into something of interest. The 90's signaled the rebirth of thought in art. Musicians were again allowed to count past 4. The 90's even signaled the awakening of the past. The popularization of the internet allowing people that would otherwise be limited to domestic products the opportunity to explore the international scene. Let us all rejoice in the 1990's! Amen! Here are my fav's. 1. Bondage Fruit 2. Mats/Morgan 3. Mr. Bungle 4. Meshuggah 5. Buckethead 6. Bela Flek and the Flektones 7. Ruins 8. Sieges Even 9. The Residents 10.

You're right technically, I did not see the caveat "formed" in the OP. I was reading topic title, which implied something more open ended, like making music in the 1990's. The Residents, for that matter, formed in the 60's. Mats/Morgan grew up together and started playing together in the 70's. Flecktones and Mr. Bungle never saw the light of day until the 90's. Perhaps, had the internet been a tool back then, i would have known about them, but no LP releases happened prior to 1990 for Fleck or Bungle. So my general assessment stands. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow"> https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I am largely in agreement with this post though Fleck is the only one of those that I count among my favourites. I don't believe the audience's expectations necessarily changed in terms of demanding more complex and/or interesting music again. More that bands found the confidence to make the music they believed in again and said a big f*** you to the labels and there usually is some limited audience for every niche anyway. Which means there was no large scale explosion of progressive music 70s style (and maybe there won't be for a long time yet) but there are lots of interesting artists in the 90s if you dig a little. |

Hi,
I would say Djam Karet is one of the top bands. Porcupine Tree is the other.
Both of these had a start slightly before 90, but it was not anything worth writing to mom about! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |
