One of these bands is not like the other. Pink Floyd is in it a different class from the other bands... |
I'll have to mullet over and then decide.

Yes King Crimson Genesis Emerson Lake & Palmer You have a problem. You wanna talk 70's prog rock? Great, let's talk about Rush and Yes, ELP and Kansas. Leave Floyd out of it. It's insulting to them to put them on such a list. On a similarly funny side note, check out #26. :D |

the floyd is "space rock" imo.

If Pink Floyd is Prog, then they are the best Prog band of all time.

Rush is probably the best of this mostly-forgettable genre. I don't really think of Pink Floyd as Prog, but I suppose they are kinda sorta on the edge of it. |

RUSH works for me altho i like Floyd a lot as well.
|
I think a lot of people forget that Pink Floyd was really 2 bands, 2 really different bands.
Their sound in the late 60's with Syd was very different from how they evolved with Waters in charge and Gilmour playing guitar. |

My go to prog rock band would be Dream Theater. But I like those other bands, as well. Surprised Porcupine Tree is all the way down at #49. :hmmm:
On a related note, I believe Geoffe (sp?) Tate was kicked out of Queensryche recently. I haven't really listened to them much in recent years. They were at their peak when they released Operation Mindcrime. Also loved Rage For Order and The Warning. |

Queensryche? Very cheesy 80s band!
Pink Floyd? They are responsible for some of the most bland, uninteresting, boring music ever produced! I am not really a Rush fan, but I can say I like them way more than the other two! Honestly, none of these three are what I would consider 'progressive rock!' |

As far as the topic, Pink Floyd is #1 for me without hesitating. I think I like Queensryche more than Rush, but I like them both a lot. Queensryche is another band I need to look into more of their "deep cuts". I've heard most Rush albums all the way through. 2112 is a masterpiece. |
My top-tier favorite bands of all time (and yes, there's a bit of a cheat in counting):
1a. Yes 1b. Genesis 2. King Crimson 3. The Who 4. Porcupine Tree 5. Pink Floyd 6. Led Zeppelin 7. Rush 8. ELP 9. Moody Blues There's even strands of prog in The Who and Zep. Edit: I went ahead and expanded the list to 10 bands ... although the more I think the harder it is to cut it off. |

You really just inserted them in this debate?

They're more psychedelic stoner space metal. |
Everyone needs their Tom Sawyer fix....
:facepalm: |
Pink Floyd, and it's not even close.
It still amazes me how Rush can have the fans they do. It's just awful awful prepubescent high school crap. Never understood that... |

Changing one member can make a huge difference. Rush is another band that had two different sounds. The first album with "working man" is completely garage grunge from the day compared with 2112 et al because the drummer was replaced with Neal Peart. |

APP wasn't actually a touring band (much). They were/are just what the name says... Producer Alan Parsons' Project. He (Alan) did play a lot but almost never sings. There were guys who appeared on most albums and singer Eric Woolfson (amazingly smooth) was always along as kind of a partner and consistant sound, but a lot of other guest vocalists and musicians came and went. |
Pink Floyd=NFL
Rush=College Queensryche=High school flunkies |

In fact, there's a story in there about how a bald fat man, kind of homeless-looking, sat in the studio for part of the recording of "Wish You Were Here" which was of course about Syd. The band didn't realize until after the man left that it actually WAS the once stereotypical "sexy frontman" Syd Barrett. He had declined that much in just about 6 years. |

This set of diseases are most often aggravated when psychotropic drugs such as LSD are introduced, but anything can trigger episodes at any point in a person's life. For example, poor nourishment can trigger these diseases and often does; "BIPOLAR DISORDER Individuals with bipolar or manic-depressive disorder often have an underlying imbalance of slow oxidation and often copper imbalance. In addition, they often have a four highs pattern on a hair test or others indicating extreme stress. The combination of these two traits leads to the common pattern of days of high energy followed by a period of very low energy and depression. This can be corrected in most cases with nutritional balancing science in a relatively short time of months, usually, and with relatively little difficulty if one is willing to follow the program carefully. SCHIZOPHRENIA Copper imbalance, mercury toxicity, manganese toxicity, cadmium toxicity and other imbalances are associated with schizophrenias. Most respond beautifully to balancing the body chemistry. Results can be fast, but may take longer if a person is far out of balance. Copper and Schizophrenia. Joan, age 18, was a patient in Scottsdale Camelback Hospital with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. She responded poorly to medication and psychotherapy. Tissue mineral testing revealed a copper level of 40 mg%, about 15 times normal. Joan was placed on a diet and nutritional supplements to reduce tissue copper. Her condition improved so radically she was released from all psychiatric care within six months, and returned to high school the following September. Excess tissue copper stimulates the biogenic amines, neurotransmitters associated with depression, anxiety, mood swings and schizophrenia. Copper imbalance is quite common but goes undiagnosed because the tissue mineral test is not often done. " http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/em...d_behavior.htm |

Rush is my prog rock go to band, burnt out of Floyd. Don't get me wrong, they are an amazing band and are responsible for some of the greatest music ever I just can't hear it anymore.
Love Queensryche, saw them last year (or what's left of the band) live here in Nashville. |
I'm not clicking on that link because I think it'd piss me off even more than a lot of the posts in this thread have.
Pink Floyd is my favorite of the three prog bands in the thread title, fwiw. |

Rush was my first concert (my sophomore year in HS). It was the Permanent Waves tour and I really liked that album (and still do). I wasn't a huge Rush fan though and only owned PW and 2112. I didn't like Tom Sawyer when it came out and fell away from listening to them after that.
My 18 year old son has really gotten into classic rock and I bought him 2112 and Rush's latest greatest hits CD to give him a taste of what they are like. I like hearing the songs again but I still probably wouldn't seek them out. Pink Floyd's The Wall came out my soph year and I loved that album and about wore out my record. I still love that album though Wish You Were Here is my favorite PF album. I call myself a Pink Floyd fan but in reality I basically just like Meddle, Animals, Wish, The Wall and Dark Side. The Final Cut sucked, the post Waters stuff is okay but not great and I'm not enough of a prog fan to get into their early stuff (though I know most of the songs). I didn't like Queensryche when they came out and haven't heard anything to change my mind. I am not a big prog rock fan (never liked Yes or ELP) but I still have some records of some of the bands on that top 100 list like Uriah Heap and Eloy. Eloy is okay but I mostly bought the record because I liked the album art (the artist did a lot of metal album cover art in the 80's) and it was clear vinyl. :D |

There is some good video footage documenting that whole session. From the "crazy guy" vocal capture of the staff RM to the woman that, without tabs or any real musical guidance, nailed the maternal yet haunting female vocal during "the great gig in the sky".

The early Floyd stuff isn't prog, it's psychedelia.

I think the distinction, at least in my mind, is in the METHOD.
Prog rock produces increasingly complex and interesting ideas through application of musical theory and technique. Syd Barret produced increasingly complex and interesting ideas in a completely random, non-technical way, much like other psychedelic songwriters at the time. |

You just have to be careful with strict definitions, otherwise someone gets the impression that Boston is "progressive rock". :D |
How is Queensryche even in the conversation?

That top 100 list has Styx and Primus on it. I'm not enough into arguing over what is and isn't prog rock to know for sure but those two wouldn't have been the first to spring to mind (the Beatles either).

That said, they have two albums that are quite good (The Warning and Empire), a self-titled EP that is GREAT, and their album Operation: Mindcrime might just be the very best rock album of the 1980's. |

Pink Floyd by a lot.

three totally different bands with three totally different sounds. Sitting around a campfire after midnight is Pink Floyd time. Cruisin to a fishin trip is Rush time, workin out is Queensryche time.
