I just want to chime in my newfound love of prog (facilitated by Yes albums, specifically Fragile and In the Court of the Crimson King). So far I think I have to say my favorite tracks are Tarkus/Supper's Ready. Such rich music and I feel profoundly lucky to be able to experience it.

I've been on a classic prog rock buying kick and came across a band called Aardvark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1rXQuPx3wc This overdriven organ riff is one of the coolest loving sounds I've ever heard. The rest of the album doesn't live up to it but... I wanted to share this somewhere and this seemed like the only place that'd appreciate it. Some others I'd shout out: Jane (self-titled album), Nektar, and Fruupp

I love that Tony Levin has essentially frozen his aging in the early 90s hell I saw him with Gabriel last year and he looks identical Adrien Belew much less so... he has traded in the skullet for a baseball cap and kinda just rocks an Ernest Worrel vibe I haven't had the chance to see Fripp live yet... someday.

Jedit posted:Got tickets for Nick Mason's Set The Controls tour for my birthday. Definitely looking forward to that. The Saucerful of Secrets were the first gig I went to after the pandemic and it was great. The set list for this tour is tightly wrapped but Lee Harris has said that it's got some really deep cuts from the early Floyd. The only things we know for sure is that it doesn't have the rumoured outtakes from Dark Side of the Moon, and they won't be playing Scream Thy Last Scream or Careful With That Axe, Eugene as neither track really worked. Got to see them in 2022 in the US and it was really drat good. They played in an old converted theater and the oil projections and retro lighting were so cool Gary Kemp is also a surprisingly good front man. It seems like it'd be such an easy thing to accidentally fall into tribute band territory and end up being kinda sad, but it's such a pleasantly tight production. Anyone who likes early floyd should check'em out

Rust Martialis posted:Adrian's bassist is Julie Slick, and his drummer is Johnnie deLuca. I'm pretty sure she was playing bass with him and Jerry Harrison on their Remain in Light tour right (the rest of the band was Cool Cool Cool formerly Turkuaz) But yeah if that was her she loving owned the Tina vibes for that show

I'd vouch for Hackett's "Voyage of the Acolyte" as basically being as close to a Genesis album as non-Genesis albums get, mostly because everyone but Gabriel played on the drat thing anyhow.

Would you consider post-Aqualung Jethro Tull to fit in there? Like... Thick as a Brick through maybe Minstrel at the very least I would say have very similar qualities. God knows it's some of my favorite music ever written and Jethro Tull too often gets crunched in as just the Aqualung band and that may be one of Anderson's least interesting albums when you put them all together
