i saw Gong live in nyc back in the late 90's, it was with daevid and gilly, so it was like the PHP, You and Angels Egg material, not the horrible prog shit they did after... that was pretty cool.

really? totally not feeling it, sounds completely quantized without soul. no better examples?

King Crimson... saw them once, biggest collection of absolute dorks I've ever seen in my life, total sausage fest as well. dorkiest concert ever, next to Ween and Gwar.

not trolling, just my $0.02. not like I'm going to change anyone's opinion on music.

Just to make something clear..
I still don't dig Genesis, Ozric Tentacles or Rush.

Thanks for the suggestions man. I've already been listening to Porcupine Tree. That tune "Glass Arm Shattering" is fantastic. I'll check out some of that other stuff you recommended.

Tell me about it. Trying to convince someone to like Rush is a losing battle. Either you really really do or you really really don't.

Love Prog. Give me the worst fucking Prog over utterly soul-less Techno any day of the week.

Rush? Prog?

Maybe for 2 seconds during 2112.

Rush = Prog Lite
