Gianthogweed posted:Here's a cover of the Jethro Tull classic "Witch's Promise" with a female lead: I'm am the biggest of Tull fans, and I found that cover unsettling. It was good, but it's always weird to hear a Tull cover, especially one that wasn't from the early "blues" days. FWIW, Joe Bonamossa does a pretty good cover of 'A New Day Yesterday'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWx-3fiG7mk

BigFactory posted:I'm baffled that Joe Bonamassa has a big(?) career. I'm not un-convinced that he was invented to have inoffensive HD concert footage to play in Best Buys and on HD cable channels. He's big in Europe. He's also a good guitarist.

BigFactory posted:There are lots of "good" guitarists who I never want to listen to. Aping Clapton licks isn't interesting to me. Well, to be fair, Clapton was a contemporary of Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, Alexis Korner, John Mayall, etc. Bonamassa was influenced by British Blues. It's only natural that his sound would be pretty similar.

Gianthogweed posted:I do enjoy Anderson's more recent solo material better than the later Tull stuff though. He's definitely embraced prog with his new band. Rupi's Dance and TAAB2 are quite good, and his most recent one, Homo Erraticus may have been the best thing he's done since Stormwatch. All of this. I liked Secret Language of Birds quite a bit as well.

Paladinus posted:Saw Ayreon's Electric Castle live yesterday. Wasn't expecting to hear Marillion's Kayleigh that night, but it was a pleasant surprise. John de Lancie's rhymed narration was extremely goofy and forced in places, so I'm kind of mixed on this aspect of the show, but other than that it was amazing. Even though it was their fourth show in four days, it was obvious the whole cast were really enjoying themselves. Especially Damian Wilson. The man is almost 50, but is at his peak performance as a vocalist. I’m an enormous fan of prog, but haven’t listened to a fraction of prog metal, primarily the usual suspects. I had never heard of this album until this post, and it absolutely loving amazing.

DoubleCakes posted:I revisited Abacab from Genesis yesterday and after it mostly not leaving an impression after listening to it a few times over 10+ years, it's starting to click with me. The big standout is "Keep It Dark" which has that deep guitar lick on the rhythm. Yeah, Abacab is pop rock but its still pretty proggy and I'm ready to embrace the later era Genesis. Even if I don't like the albums as much as Lamb Lies Down or Trick, they're still pretty solid and very listenable. Big Big Train is fully exceptional. It's funny that you note the similarity in sound to Genesis, as David Longdon, the lead singer, very nearly became the replacement for Phil Collins when he left Genesis in 1996. BBT has, within the last year or two, joined my top 10 all-time prog bands. Notably, the band also includes Nick D'Virgilio, former of Spock's Beard, and Rikard Sjöblom, former of Beardfish, and Dave Gregory of XTC. Edit: Addendum.

DoubleCakes posted:By the way has anyone checked out that grand Odyssey: The Greatest Tale album? I gave it a skim but wasn't feeling it. I just think it's impressive that a handful of prog bands came together and made a nearly four hour album. I praise the idea, but the band lineup was pretty average. Edit: If you want a better example of this kind of thing, I would recommend trying to find "Peter and the Wolf", a prog collaboration featuring the likes of Phil Collins, Bill Bruford, Manfred Mann, Stephane loving Grapelli, Garry Moore, Andy Pyle, Brian Eno, just to name a few. If you can find a copy, it's a great add to any collection.

Seventh Arrow posted:I saw a post on a prog FB group about what he thought were the best albums of the year. I have no idea how good or bad they are but it gives me lots to listen to! The Flower Kings album was fantastic, but the Big Big Train album was probably the best of the lot. I can confirm that the Eloy is fantastic as well. DOT is the best DT album in years, and Steve Hackett is the King. The Yes album is pretty good, but nowhere near that good.

I just listened to an album from 2016 that somehow sneaked under my prog radar. It's a collaboration between Jon Anderson (Yes...duh) and Roine Stolt (Flower Kings), from a plan that they apparently hatched while doing one of those prog cruises. It's sumptuous as gently caress. I'm really hoping they do another. I couldn't really find a single track on YT, so here's like 3 or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwM6rREoOoU

I'm really hoping they do a full reunion with Hackett and Gabriel before one of them dies, but that seems less and less likely with each passing year. Get ready for two exciting hours of non-stop Abacab and Invisible Touch.
