I decided I want a playlist called "Prog in Your Face!" and I am looking for recommendations of songs worthy of making the playlist. These can be classic or modern, well known or obscure, any sub-genre. Recommend me anything that makes you think "Prog in Your Face!" |

I am leaving "Prog In Your Face" open to interpretation. Apparently it's dirty to some. Definitely will have some Zappa. I don't own any Jade Warrior. Will have to look into some Hackett.

The playlist will be the prog equivalent to Kiss's song "Lick It Up".

When I think of "Prog in your face" I think of songs that immediately hit you over the head with strange rhythms and/or multi-layered melodies/harmonies. Off the top of my head, examples could include "Generale!" by PFM, "Ace Of Wands" by Steve Hackett, "Neurotica" by King Crimson, "Sound Chaser" by Yes, "Cogs In Cogs" by Gentle Giant and "Brujo" by Area. Perhaps also "Nekomajin vs" by Nuito if you have a tolerance for math rock

Or The Residents. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

I'm thinking more Flying Luttenbachers, or Upsilon Acrux, you guys are picking stuff that's way too gentle.

Samla Mannas Manna - "Dundrets Fröjder" Magma - "Iss Lansei Doia" Van der Graaf Generator - "Darkness" Area - "MIRage? Mirage!" Gentle Giant - "The Moon is Down" and "So Sincere" ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment. |

Magma - M.D.K. is rather "in your face". ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Lots of Magma is, including this in its own way: And the side-project Offering's "Earth" might be a good one to mention: ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them coming if you have more. Really good to get some from East Europe as I am not at all familiar. There definitely seems to be a rich history. I will need listen and see what I can get hold of through Amazon Music Unlimited. A few of these are there! The Magma suggestions are appreciated. I had never really listened to much before. The RIO/Avant suggestions are also appreciated. It's not a genre I know much of. I have liked various artists in the past but never really delved in. I am putting a Yowie track on my playlist. I think these (RIO/avant music) need to be mixed in with other types of tracks for the plane ride. I have to be careful that I don't doze off and wake up screaming in the middle of a track. I am not flying out until Friday, so that'll give me time to update my playlist.

Good suggestions. At least a couple of these are going on my playlist. I haven't decided on the Nuito track but I am open to math rock.

Man, speaking of playlists... I have a my collection mostly ripped to this computer, Vroomfondel. I love to use Winamp on shuffle just to see what comes up a random. Making a playlist of that size would be quite an undertaking. Keep on progging. One of my newer discoveries from out of Russia would be Iamthemorning. Plenty of stuff on your list that I know well and plenty I have never heard before.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hi, Easy for me on this one ... even though there are a few of them out there, and Amon Duul 2 takes the cake here ... by having some really strong and incendiary listens ... that most fans can not handle very well ... the lyrics for "Mozambique" are scary ... but then, we already think that history is just another WD movie! My choice? ELP's Tarkus ... and guess what the lyrics are about ... in your face! ... don't give me lies ... punctuated by a drum ... it really does not get too much better than that! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
