So, what bands do we think should "hang it up" - at least producing new music wise - due to age, loss of creativity, etc? I'm very much tempted to say Yes, having been underwhelmed by their recent new material, but they're still awesome in concert. What are your thoughts? |

mmm... I don't know... ¿IQ?... they were great on 2 albums, all the rest is, or 80's pop, or not as clever as "The Wake" or "Subterranea". Their "prog" material is always like a bad attempt to re-use some of the great moments of those two albums. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

good call... though you never know, they may have a good album left in them. I thought the last great album they did was Signals in what... the early 80's. Though how many people gave Yes up for dead and they came back with 2 good albums in '99 and '01 and may be thinking about a new album next year. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

If Dream Theater doesn't make a real progressive album soon, I'll be
tempted to say they should split up and do other things. At least
the side projects aren't a bunch ripoffs.

any great band from the 70`s thats not producing studio releases currently but getting by on greatest hits, best of and ultimates should really announce their retirement for the sake of preserving what fond memories we have left of them.

Yes, they did...Octavarium... All but the title track were a bunch of unimaginative common ideas getting rehashed and all sounding like really good songs that other bands would be better suited to play. It included as close of a ripoff to the band Muse as is possible to do without being Muse. Other heavily borrowed acts include Megadeth on track 1, Linkin Park on track 3, Coldplay on track 4, Muse somewhat on track 5 as well as 6, and practically every major prog band of the 70s and Spock's Beard in the title track (which really was a cool song...the only really strong thing to come out of the album...and that's saying alot because the first 12 minutes seem to go on forever). The lyrical content has been slowly getting worse since Kevin Moore left. More angsty Portnoy lyrics on alcoholism for the 3rd album in a row...and Petrucci writing more sentimental stuff....and Portnoy whining about obsessive fans that seem to want too much and never appreciate anything. Of course, the older I get, the more I realize that a group that I really liked in their prime of originality has fallen prey to what occurs with the majority of bands after they've been together too long when the creative juices run dry. ------------- ARTEMIA - http://www.reverbnation.com/artemiamusic" rel="nofollow - http://www.reverbnation.com/artemiamusic L.i.E. - http://www.reverbnati |

Not Prog, but I think that "The Who" (Daltrey & Townshend & Co.) should stop using the name of the band. Without Keith Moon it was harder...and since John Entwistle died I can`t see any real need to use the name of the band... other of the need of money. Foreigner:without Lou Gramm and other original members apart from Mick Jones... Journey: without Steve Perry... Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Grand Funk Railroad: without songwriter/singer/guitarist Mark Farner. Queen: without Freddie Mercury and John Deacon. Rush: with the release of a CD full of covers they demonstrated that they are really tired. David Bowie: He is a good singer but I never liked his music anyway. I read yesterday that Barbra Streisand is going to do another "Farewell Tour"...earning 2 million dollars for each concert... ------------- Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991.

| Why don't you all let the artists go on as much as they want? If you don't like their new releases just don't buy them. I enjoy the latest Yes albums but for example I don't like The Moody Blues last ones, but for me that is not a reason for The Moody Blues to disappear. I simply won't buy their albums and will enjoy their early work, and perhaps other people will like their latest work. If there is one only person who enjoys them, then let them live. It's just a matter of taste. |

I could not agree more about these issues, however, I do like most of PT's material but prefer the earlier stuff. As for Tull and Yes, sh*t, I have never seen such a perfect display of metorphorically 'pumping gas' on the stage, they have been going through the motions too long, if they want to continue they NEED new material to not only invigorate us fans, but themselves also. |

We could say that... after all, IQ is a very good band. But, ¿don't you miss the "unpredictible" factor that is present, let's say, in "Headlong" (my best favourite IQ song), the weird rythmic choices (I know, Dark matter starts with a weird tempo, but it is somewhat predictible, much to constant, if compared to "Outer limits"). Anyway, one of the elements on this band's imagination fade quickly. I hated "Ever" so much, (not as much as those POP albums), and The seventh house and Dark Matter are on my "listenable" list. And, if we are talking about taste, Idon't enjoy bands that simply chooses to repeat and reuse their most succesfull moment. I mean, as I said to another IQ lover many month ago, From the "Tales" album to "The Wake", you can see an evident evolution of the band. The same from that to "Subterranea". and then, ¡¡¡full stop!!!. So, no thanks. I'll stick with "Nuovo sub sole", a much more risky album. From IQ, I just expect another clone... sadly... ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

For
the uninitiated, Crimson have 'hung it up' practically every evolution
of the band; one might say after every album. As of now they're
in hiatus and will make their return in '07 as no doubt another
re-vamped edition. Those who are so zealous as to cling like leeches to the past are bound to be disappointed. How does one expect to grow if you're stuck in a certain time period consistantly? Your tastes are certainly adventurous and varied, I must say... Fripp for the most part, just judging by his diaries (after all who truly knows the guy), has no intentions of reliving the past and honestly, I feel, good for him. I, in relation to the overriding topic, can't really think of a band I'd like to see give it up. Sure, I'd like to see some bands I've enjoyed return with better albums (Rush, Dream Theater) but I certainly don't want people to quit making music...certainly an insulting request... Maybe that's how the intial topic should have begun, not who we'd like to see quit (because really, are you that idle to waste your time writing about bands you don't like? ingenuously the answer appears to be yes) but who we'd like to see improve/can do better? My Runner Ups: Mars Volta, Tool, Rush, King Crimson, Gordian Knot, Dream Theater, Flower Kings (after Paradox I'm a bit worried), and Pain Of Salvation come to mind. |

| It would be unfair of me to pick on bands I am not keen on, as it would be too easy to select one of them, hence, the likes of King Crimson, Dream Theatre etc will not be mentioned! Of the bands I like, I agree wholeheartedly that Yes should pack in. Seems to me their egos are growing at the same rate that their talent is diminishing. Anderson is practically reduced to a cabaret singer now, Howe is well past his sell by date, and Wakeman (if you still consider him a part of Yes,) seems happy as a TV entertainer. Only Squire and the inoffensive White are in a position to continue really. And no, I am not Yes-bashing, they were, at their peak, one of my top 5 bands. However, since their last 'classic' album, which for me was Going For The One, they have done little to enamour me to them, with only Keystudio coming close. The rest is forgettable.

In comparison to Richards, Wats and Wood... he looks like one of their youngest brothers! About Madonna: I never liked her music...so...I can live without her! About King Crimson: I never liked this band with Adrian Belew. Their best years, IMO, were 1969-74. About YES: I still have not listened to their latest album, "Magnification". I only listened to some songs of this album when I saw them in concert in late 2002. I liked "In the Presence of". One thing that is somewhat boring with them in concert is hearing them playing again songs like "Roundabout". I can live without this song. Why they don`t play songs that they didn`t play for a long time, like "To Be Over", "Machine Messiah", or songs that they never have played in concert, like "The Prophet", "Survival", Harold Land", etc.? ------------- Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991.

First of all, Dream Theater's last release Octavarium was absolutely great and though by no means close to their best, it definately was an excellent album. I hope they continue for another 10 years! And why so much against RUSH??? Vapor Trails was a pleasant return to an earlier sound and they do sound like they could make one more decent album before they pack up and call it quits. YES on the other hand seems to be ready to wave farewell. Though it's terrible, I think they'll probably "milk it" for one more Farewell Tour... they'll make a sh&*#t load of money and be able to retire happily. ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me.

Spock's Beard with Neal Morse was a great band, but i didn't listened to them without neal morse. But give them time, i'm sure they have many more to give.

Not a band, only a member, and should not totally hang up, but Steve Walsh should stop singing. it's painful to listen him. He should play keyboards, find a new vocalist and maybe sing one or two very easy tracks, maybe Dust in the Wind, but the band should take the tone very low. Iván -------------

Jon is a cabaret singer? They haven't made a new studio album since Magnification, but Peter Gabriel and Tool also don't release new albums very frequently(just to pick two). |

I agree... nothing against DT fans, my psych. teacher who I respect alot is one. The music lacks style, substance, and structure, imo. BTW, the Rolling Stones really, really need to hang it up. Keith Richards has said he will play music in a wheel chair... weeee, now that'll be a performance! |

The Rolling Stones should really hang it up. But this is the case with them since 25-30 years. |

Not a very funny one though. They stopped creating around 35 years ago. People here who are Yes-bashing obviously aren't listening - 15 years ago I too gave up on them, but I have since seen the error of my ways. Magnification is indeed Magnificent and is far far better than we have any right to expect. |

i had the thought that DT should all go away some place together like for the recording of 'Scenes' (Bearcreek studios) and this may make them all gel a bit more. but then i heard octavarium one day like i'd never heard it before and thought maybe i was being a bit hard on them. all the other songs don't really grab my attention as much as the finale ... p.s. nice chuck norris statement. ------------- if left is wrong i don't wanna be right...

The irritating thing about the Stones is that they could still be good if they followed the example of the old blues musicians they admire so much. BB King is still touring at 80, and John Lee Hooker was still playing at about the same age, but they don't pretend to be anything other than old men. Seeing Mick Jagger prance around like a teenager is what's really sad - his voice isn't in bad shape and the rest of the band can still sound good on their night. But they should act their age! ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

En algo tienes razón; al parecer, para el tema de los chistes, acá son medio duros, pero hay que tener en cuenta que todos acá usamos nuestra propia versión del Inglés, lo cual puede no funcionar. Además, finalmente sí entendió el chiste. Me mandó un mesaje diciendo que en realidad, lo que había pasado es que leyó el chiste muy rápido y no captó la idea en principio. Después le cayó la teja... ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Well..."ridiculous", IMO, the image of Robert Smith of The Cure. That image was good for him when he was 20-25 years old...but now... at forty-something or fifty-something ... ------------- Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991.

Man... you suck.... That is quite possibly the craziest statement I have ever heard in all my life. Do you like Jazz Fusion and hate the Mars Volta drummer? If so, that would make you an idiot. Do you like concept albums but do not like the Mars Volta's concepts from album to album? If so, that would make you even more of an idiot. Excellent concepts, and a good/bombastic drummer. |

| So, doesn't anyone realize all the polls here are the same. "least boring Album" is almost the same as "the best album" which is almost the same as "your favorite album. And this thread is just screaming "Hey! lets all come up with bands we don't like and bash them and then go defend the bands we like and get into a big argument on which bands are going downhill!" I'm done with these negative threads and this forum! All of it is bashing and arguing about which band is better, what would have happened if this person left/ stayed, negative threads, which band is prog and is not. This is why I like the main site much more, yet there is still bickering on the forums about what should or shouldn't br there! We really have some optimistic and positive people here. |
