Sometimes I wonder if people on Progarchives know there’s prog bands besides yes, Genesis, KC, Rush and Pink Floyd. I feel like this identical topic gets posted every couple days just worded slightly differently. Most people are going to rate them highly, I can only rate Yes albums or list my top 5 Yes songs so many times before it gets boring and I want to explore new or lesser known progressive music. I wish there was more discussion about lesser known or newer prog, even non prog music like Hip Hop/Alternative/Indie, that’s where a lot of progressive stuff has happened in the last 20 years. Just gotta keep an open mind to new things. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

People not keeping an open mind is not the problem. The problem is that interest in new or lesser known music is more diverse and therefore less likely to find common ground among forum participants. You may have your list of new or lesser known artists that nobody else seems interested in, but I'm sure that other people have their lists of new or lesser known artists that you're not interested in. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

Crikey! 2 out of 10 for Relayer! That has to be the lowest rating for any Yes album ever! Even the sub-standard Tormato and Big Generator albums got higher ratings than that.

TYA 8/10 loses some points for clap, and a venture plus I admit I've seen all good people is repetitious at the end although I like it anyway Fragile 9/10 The solo parts to take it down a bit but still a fun album ironically in part because of the solo bits. CTTE 10/10 I might personally prefer relayer but this is the text book example of prog. Sorry Floyd. Relayer 9/10 Their most adventurous and challenging album. I'm not sure why tales was omitted but if it wasn't I would rate it 7 or 8 out of ten. |

'ere, we dinosaurs ain’t dead yet mate! Actually PA is growing (just very very slowly ... think geologic time scale) |
Posted By: AFlowerKingCrimson
Date Posted: July 19 2020 at 18:56
Yeah, very very, slowly. Maybe about the same rate Yes's popularity is growing and that's only because Rush fans and Pink Floyd fans are looking for similar bands.
I will say every time I go to the record department of the local book store some of the Yes records are no longer there which means someone is buying them. So that's a good thing. |

I love your enthusiasm  ....but I answered the question that the SITE (this place) is dead, Progressive rock has been dead for eons. Prog rock and Prog Related still is doing ok....Thanks to Porcupine Tree, Riverside, The Pineapple Thief....-------------

Rather than complaining in this topic, why not make a topic that interests you more and invite that conversation?

After I mentioned the issue in the Collab Zone, Scott (Rushfan) started some very interesting polls that include mostly lesser-known artists in a wide range of subgenres. I've been listening to the tracks he posted in these polls, and have found quite a few things to my taste. People seem to be responding well so far. Let's keep our fingers crossed ! |

Bring up the discussions and bands you might have interest in. PA in general has introduced me to many many "new" artists, although today they may not be considered new, and a lot of them have not issued anything new in years some actually were one album wonders. I have so much music in my collection that I have little time it seems for new music, it can be work to listen to new stuff and not sure I have the patience at the moment. I have been really into jazz lately so that has steered me away from the rock genre, some of that very old music is new to me and its awesome! -------------

CTTE 9.5. more of a 9 because AYAI doesn’t really hold my attention all the way thru, but worth an extra half point for being such a huge statement and for the other 2 tracks being flawless and awesome (maybe my 2 favorite Yes songs) TYA 9 the one classic rock fans can most enjoy. Good rockin’ fun and being there first for a bold new ensemble sound they’d build on Relayer 8. Side one is one of the best things they ever did; side 2 is very good but not great Fragile 8. Never really got the point of the solo tracks (though they’re definitely good on their own), they just seem not to fit with the (awesome) long tracks. It’s a cohesion thing. Nothng really wrong with any of them. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |
