Songs that deserve more recognization

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Anything and everything that falls under the progressive rock genre, (i.e. Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Frank Zappa, King Crimson).

Now mind you I'm more apt to listen to modern bands like the ones I named, mostly because the 60s and 70s prog scene is so saturated with rip off bands. Mind you there are still some killer bands, King Crimson and Rush being two of the best, just I like the fact that newer bands are innovating much more.

What? Innovating much more? I wholeheartedly dissagree.

Bands nowadays are combining stale rock stereotypes with their own non-existence of creativity. Every new rock song out there right now sounds excatly the same. The punk rock scene feeds off each other until it has reached the perfect formula of repetition. The pop scene is the same, as well as rap; it all sounds exactly the same, and boring, and bad. Listen to any rock song out there and tell me with a straight face that it sounds unlike the very molds begun back in the 80s!

The music industry is there to make money, bands associating themselves with whiny teenage cliques while trotting out the old repeated notes on loud guitars. Nothing will every reach the indiviudalized and creative extremes reached by early prog rock ever again.
