@simonmoon I had never been a big Prog fan, but in the last year or so have really enjoyed it. Some older, like (Peter Gabriel era) Genesis and a lot of the newer bands like Porcupine Tree and Riverside. Fun stuff!
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

@asvjerry, @johnnotkathi, @simonmoon Okay this old guy will listen to some early Riverside tomorrow. |
I was stunned with my first battery transistor radio when i was 14 61 years ago, i remember my impression as yesterday, walking and listen to Otis Redding... I just discovered blues with him but i did not know it yet... I became conscious of the blues existence with John Lee Hooker and it was Hooker who touch me more than the blues itself... These two singers were "cool" as ice spewed by a volcano ...

Peter Grimes in interesting, but I prefer my singing to be in song, rather than the spoken word. I guess Belshazzar’s Feast is in English, but when that many voices are singing en masse, it can make it very difficult to understand. Maybe opera is not for me. This is more my cup of tea and would be more of a "Rock Opera" using some more modern instrumentation. It is not a collection of songs, but rather tells the story of travels through the after life and reincarnation. |
