prog rock doesn't suck, some people who make prog rock suck. the only way to stop a bad guy with a prog rock band is a good guy with a prog rock band.
Yes! I should also give a shout-out to Protest the Hero. They've been making feminist music for like 20 years.
Good. It keeps one of the most destructive forces in the universe, horny dads, partially contained within its hall of mirrors and shifting time signatures
Without Prog Rock, where would we get the opening/closing credit music for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?
Checkmate, Libs.
Do you listen to King Crimson? Most people are only familiar with Court of the Crimson King, but they have the most consistently good and eclectic output of their peers. Robert Fripp is not only a virtuoso at guitar, he is one of the few who really redefined how it can sound. While he was infamously hard to work for, when he is with musicians of his caliber they make some truly magical music. My personal favorite lineup is from the Discipline era. Adrian Belew is another unique guitarist, and perhaps he brought some much needed levity to the band. Tony Levin and Bill Buford provide a strong rhythm section as well.
It depends, really.
I like alot of stuff that's "Prog Rock" by non Prog-Rock bands like Opeth's Blackwater Park album, and I like alot of the obvious big names like Pink Floyd & Tool, but it's never been a genre I went down a rabbit hole on or something I say to myself "I think I'll listen to prog rock today."
Blackwater Park is a gem, I'll throw that on while doing laundry today.
Bring back Prog Rock albums with edgy and intriguing album art like a skeleton flipping off the viewer while sitting on a toilet shaped like a devil and surrounded by fire, but listening to the album, each track has 5 minute solos of a musician going to town on a piccolo or fife
People misunderstand Prog rock. They think unusual time signatures and 20 min long tracks are pretentious. In reality Prog rock is about having a silly time because the world is serious enough already.
