that caravan you tube track is pure class..the prog zombies..middle class english duende..
im a bit of a sucker for the choir boy vocals of the canterbury scene so id start there cos well, thats where it started..soft machine, caravan(early stuff only unless you like jazz fret wanking)...solo stuff by robert wyatt(amazing artist)...to a lesser extent kevin ayers.a few of his tracks hold up..hugh hopper went straight into jazz i beleive..

If you're into experimental stuff, then there are 3 ex Soft Machine records which are just exceptional.
Robert Wyatt - The End of An Ear
Kevin Ayers - Shooting at the Moon
Hugh Hopper - 1984

If you are going to be offensive about other peoples taste in music, you cannot get all self righteous when yours is criticised.
except he's not.He is bang on as far as the Ozric's are concerned...
hurrah for the interweb.
Been listening to Pure Reason Revolution and Mew who are both excellent. Never heard of them before about 2 hours ago.
If you think Rick Wakeman take shimself that seriously you really don't know him that well.those focus and tarkus vids are hilarious..proof they didnt all take themselves as seriously as rick "church of england" wakeman did..

Tortoise had one track I heard that was utterly awesome; something about glass houses (!). But I couldn't get into anything else of theirs i'd heard.

I don't believe I did. I believe i merely clarified my position re: Genesis.
I do believe you refered to my suggestions as "all disgusting", which is not particularly friendly or helpful. Niether is it accurate, you might not like them but others might (just as I find everything genesis have ever recorded as offensive). Luckily I do not loose any sleep over cheap insults from cyber warriors.
Fuck me, you're one oversensitive fucker, aren't you?
I find them disgusting, and i'm entirely entitled to think that and post that, as much as you are to disagree. Might I suggest you get the fuck over yourself?

Of course they were, all the hallmarks were there.
I heard someone on Planet Rock describe Kansas as "prog" the other day. Kansas? Prog? No!

Capes aren't a requirement; it's the music that makes prog.
Yeah, yeah I know.
haterz leave ----->
I want epic songs, weird time structures (preferably as many different ones in one song as possible), pretentious and obtuse lyrics, layers and layers of keyboards and drum solos.
Give me the "must haves" from the old guard and some examples of good contemporary stuff which could fall into the "prog" bracket.
Thanks.
Fucking hell you don't like Rick Wakeman too...no wonder you're anti Oi if ya like mind numbing shite like that!

Was it? You should try using smilies in that case because it wasn't clear.
The Internet does not allow us to see each other's faces (unless we use webcams) or read each other's body language. Hence, one person's joke is another person's "what the fuck"?

Their first couple of albums are most certainly prog & IIRC (been years) Point of no return & Monolith are pretty-much bog-standard concept albums. After that, yes they headed into more conventional rock band territory.
Then there was the member who kept popping-up in collaboration with Steve Hackett for a while.
