actually, i've been into fragile lately...great album

Yeah, "Fragile" is fucking excellent. Th song "America" that was posted is actually from the re-release of "Fragile".

yeah, i got that one on the fragile i have, i need to buy me some early yes when i get the money.

I've got some early Yes stuff done live. If you'd like, I could up it later.

Feel free to check out the other 2 tracks. I think they're pretty damn good.

i will in a little...

Yep, the board starts getting busy this time of day.

mpc's a weird audio format i've never seen before. i had to download Cog to play them.

Have you checked out my contributions sonikold?

i'm going to. i do love 70s yes and am not ashamed to admit it.

i've been trying to go easy on the DLing lately cos i don't have much hard drive space left... i'll have to delete some shit i don't listen to first...

I'm uploading right now a King Crimson concert from 1996 in mexico city, sounds really great, just give me a few minutes please........

THANKS!!

No problem Dom. It was my pleasure. Enjoy

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of later Yes stuff, but I can't get enought of their early shit. Well, just let me know what you thought of them. I tried uploading that live Yes, but my computer is old, & has shitty little kinks to it.

De nada Everyneurotic :) always a pleasure!!

I'm on my way to upload a new show, this time Roger Waters "Goodbye Mr. Pink Floyd" featuring old Pink floyd songs and some Waters songs...
just give a few hours :)

Damn You! You make me jealous.

mega bump!
just wanted to sy that i have been on a mega prog trip recently.
been listening to a lot of yes (some stuff is awesome some less so.)
roundabout is a fantastic song
i have also been on a major rush kick.
my younger brother is obsessed with them and i have known them for years, but i just burned a pile of their albums and am loving it.
2112
moving pictures
farewell to kings are all amazing albums.
unfortunatly i think that their new stuff is crap.
but they used to write amazing things-if only geddy lee would sing a little bit less

rush are fucking amazing. i had almost all of rush's records on vinyl from 1974-1987 (only missing two. but then a flood hit my house and i was only left with one of their shitty records, i also lost over 200 other records). 2112 is one of my favorite records.

My brother is more into prog than I am. I really only dig early King Crimson.

^I think that's our keyboard player.

yes rules!!! that said, i don't like the production in most of their albums, and much prefer their bootlegs.

by the way, it's 70's yes, after 1979, may gawd have mercy on their souls.

if you want to hear the absolute best progressive band, check out thinking plague...

Early-Mid 70s King Crimson is where it is at.
Bill Bruford, David Cross, Robert Fripp, John Wetton.
Live these guys would blow your mind.

i have never been into progressive rock at all. however, if u wanna consider krautrock progressive (i dont but whatever) i love many of those bands (espceially can, neu, faust, amon duul, and kraftwerk), i also dig queen, well bohemian rhapsody, and oddly i dont like rush but i love rush-live in rio. i like pink floyd before they went prog (basically dark side of the moon and beyond) and ive always been bored by king crimson. dream theater makes me wana puke. so yes, i dont like progressive rock, but i can see how some people, especially virtuosic musicians, would dig it. i guess i get turned off by it because i cant read music and have always just taught myself to play instruments (guitar, trumpet, and to a lesser extent, drums) by making sounds that i like and getting used to it.

My favorite thing, and the most inspiring thing to me, is the newer King Crimson stuff where they have two guitarists each trading notes between the speakers for every song . I love that shit.

I grew up with Prog. I was at boarding school from the age of 10 to 15 from the late 60's to the early 70's. All of the sixth formers were really into their UK Prog records and a few stuck with me. Artists like Gentle Giant, Man, Wishbone Ash, Curved Air, Focus, Pete Brown & Piblokto, and Osibisa.

I'll upload a few of the records I grew up with.

First - Gentle Giant - Three Friends

The fact that Magma has not been mentioned in this thread only proves that none of you know what the fuck is up...
