Any Progressive Rock Fans Out There?

I've been getting into the new Animals As Leaders album. Crazy time signatures and crazy instrumentation. Great to exercise to. Check it out at the 2:24 mark...

Progressive rock is Emerson Lake and Palmer right?

Yes.

Some. Mostly earlier. Tull, Floyd, King Crimson, Yes. This doesn't really speak to me. Then again I'm only listening on my laptop which is shitty-tinny.

Eric Burdon and the Animals.

I tried ELP but they just jerk off wih their instruments. They are more concerned with being complicated than with sounding good.
I like Yes much better.

Haven't heard Animals as Leaders before... will have it on during my busy work tomorrow. Thanks for the tip, SF!

I approve these shenannigans. The time sigs are standard, though. It's the rhythms in the drums and bass that makes it sound more complicated.

King Crimson is classic and epic Prog:

If I were to be honest, progressive rock is probably third after God and my family. AaL guitarist Tosin Abasi is one of the few true modern guitar heroes worthy of the term.

Agree! He's one of the best today!

*thumbsup* I've never heard of him till now-and googled-I agree with you. Terrible shame technical skill like that doesn't become popular except in prog/shred fanboy circles.

Read Keith Emerson (RIP)'s autobiography. They went much farther than that.

I know there are haters out there, but I'm a Rush fanboy. One of the best trios in any genre and many of their songs have libertarian themes.

Prog fans appreciate Yes.

Yep. They say it usually starts with Ayn Rand. Actually, Neil Peart might be more accurate.

"I know they always told you selfishness was wrong/Yet it was for me not you I came to write this song"

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there
