Growing up my father was a huge prog rock junkie. He used to copy his albums onto tape so he could listen to them in the car. ELP, Yes, King Crimson, etc...and all sorts of obscure groups I can't even think of right now. I don't listen to much prog rock as an adult (unless you put Pink Floyd in that category)...I guess I've had my fill. Anyway, was prog rock a nerdy thing in the late 70's/80's?  Speed |

Was a HUGE Rush fan since the late 70s. Buddy of mine was always a bigger Yes fan. But we both loved prog rock and traded LOTS of tapes of various prog bands. Our love of prog rock gave way to prog metal. I spent most of the 80s in rock/metal bands playing Rush, Queensryche, etc. At least those were the COOL tunes we played when when weren't stuck playing Poison, Skid Row, etc.
Last prog band that I got seriously into is probably Angra. SUPER talented band from Brazil. Like Dream Theater (when they could actually write songs) with two awesome guitar players. Still love prog rock and metal, though I've been listening to, writing, and playing more acoustic guitar stuff these days like new age and flamenco styles. |

like new age and flamenco styles. Check out Rodrigo y Gabriella They're AWESOME. Love 'em! Other favorites in that style include Lawson Rollins, Oscar Lopez, Strunz & Farah, Pavlo, etc. My favorite flamenco-puro has always been Sabicas. He was the Segovia of flamenco IMO. |
