put up a theme poll - neo-prog, 1971, Canterbury, prog-metal, etc

then when a theme is chosen, we PM you albums

then a poll for which album

then we discuss the chosen album

Meh, I'm not a great fan of genres and sub-genres. I know for instance Marillion are referred to as neo-prog and sometimes Mostly Autumn as Canterbury scene, but to me it's all prog, and I wouldn't know how to subdivide it.

But themes? Yeah, maybe. How about, let's see... mythology and legends? Too broad? Whatchaz think?

Oh, you mean every prog album that's ever been released? Yeah, that's a bit too broad.

Right. How about prog albums with long keyboard solos ... oh wait.
Okay then, prog albums with pretentious lyri.... hmmm.
Prog concept albummmmsssss I give up. Someone help me out here...

How about Krautrock? German prog!

Or... we could just nominate albums without going through the laborious process of picking categories...

The easiest and most straight-forward method that I use in metal wars, is for each member (or in this case club member) to pick a topic and then pick the album or albums. In this case what you could do is have just one person (by lucky dip) choose the topic and then have the others voting for the album choice, it just cuts out one voting segment and gets us quicker to the action.

I´m in, sounds cool

OK guys, it's a new week, so before this dies a slow and painful death, let's have some nominations. **** categories, let's just get some albums in the mix, huh?

I'll throw in Gazpacho's new one, "March of ghosts", which I haven't yet listened to, but I enjoyed "Missa Atropos" so much I'm sure I'll like this...

Anyone needs the album just pm blah blah... :)

I'll go ahead and nominate the No Wave-inspired Killing Time by Massacre.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...illingTime.jpg

It's usually hailed as a RIO masterpiece and features instrumentation similar to that of noise rock and the No Wave scene... relatively aggressive, atonal/dissonant, exhibits strange time signature, etc. It is also often considered to be a precursor to math rock.

i'll pitch in and vote this one:-

heavier than its predecessor, not as technical, doesn't have a stupid "narration" running throughout, more cohesive and coherent story

One of my favorite prog albums from outside the core-classic prog bands.
