Now that's progressive, maaaan. Also let me stress again; no Yes or Genesis influence at all. Therefore they are progressive. I'm tired of this sh*t.   The Mars Volta is a love/hate band , that's for sure but in my book they are much more innovative than lets say...   Marillion  IQ Pendragon TFK The Tangent Satellite Pallas Magenta Transatlantic Glasshammer Beardfish. Current DT Frost , Arena Collage , Gallahad...   Those bands bring nothing new to the scene , they just have that ye olde prog sound. I am probably being too harsh , not that I don't like this style or some of the bands listed but their proposal isn't that attractive after some time.

At least, Id say that they bring nothing new that is good to the scene. IMO of course. I think if they had more of a classic ye olde prog sound then I'd like 'em more.  To me this stuff sounds like watered down Prog, and lacks the experimental, progressive spirit of many of the classic era.

when you are through being tired.. and decide to turn your brain back on.. and use it hahha

can you give me ONE iota of a  logical thought of how Rush inspired TMV..   and don't use ...they are 'heavy'

can you give me ONE iota of a logic thought of how Santanta inspired TMV.. and don't use..  they are 'Latin' and use latin influences..  news.. that existed LONG before Santana

in fact... bonus points to having any respect...  can you name one band that sounds anything remotely like TMV that weren't inspired BY TMV.

I'm not a fan...  so I am asking you...  you appear to be the expert... I haven't heard them... in any of the albums I have.

As much as i like RPI i think is better to stay away from these 5 albums by well known bands:

BANCO: Capolinea (late 70's album with disco influence)
FORMULA 3: La grande casa
IL ROVESCIO DELLA MEDAGLIA: La biblia (heavy rock, nothing similar to Contaminazione)
LE ORME: Smogmagica (first Le Orme album i ever had, made me stay away from the band for years 'till i heard Felona e Sorona)
METAMORFOSI: … E fu il sesto giorno (some italian gospel in it)

Here's my votes for addition to the Hal of Shame:

No, he actually had help from Adrian Belew. On the only good song on the album!

As far as a negative thread this is one of the best IMHO

I honestly think Love Beach is a decent effort; if it had decent album art I doubt it'd get as much crap as it does. The album art is terrible, but the music isn't bad, and its been growing on me over the past weeks quite significantly. 3 's from me

The Final Cut.......................................Oh why can't we get quality like that nowadays. Beautiful album and progression to The Wall

Triumvirat's Russian Roulette
             Not only did they create the best prog of the seventies (Illusions On A Double, Spartacus) ,but this last album is about the worst (1980)
            Russian Roulette is a stinker
