These guys broke trail! Musicians today would not be where they are now...collective unconcious

The greatest impact over musical techniques and styles , after the early 70´s . Am I wrong ?

I can totally disagree with you as well. I didn't grow up on any of this stuff. I was a twinkle when these guys got together and wee when they broke up. The prog/fusion era in the 70's is one of those rare anomolies like the Baroque period or living in Germany during the lives of Mozart and Beethoven. It will continue to go unlauded for several decades more until the popular market picks up on it again.

Thanks TCAWhAt for the tip. Listened to several tracks of both at imeem"dot'com. Really happy to know and have them in my playlist. They are definately interesting. Very progressive agressive guys who like having fun being talented. Peace

Awesome show! Love the musical irony in the title of this song too

I will agree with you there. I think the 80's and 90's brought out a lot of garbage, and that kids now just don't appreciate real art in general as much as they used to. There is definitely a lot of psuedo everything nowadays... but there has been a steady influx of cool music within the past few years. Try searching "Tera Melos" or "Maps and Atlases". That's only 2 bands, but it's a start, and if you don't like them, then hopefully, at the very least, it will open you up to some other bands.

Yes I can't totally disagree. I always searching for that extremely skillful and creative band in very unusual places. Over the years I found a few but still say overall it was a very original different era than than what young listeners are going through today. I think that most from recent generations are unaware or accustomed to creative and unique music as before. I grew up appreciating Fellini in film and Miles in music,etc. Many today have less attention span overall to abstraction n arts

There are plenty of new and interesting musicians out there, you just need to look harder. And to say that no band could ever live up to the music of the 70's.. You have an attachment to the bands you grew up with because while they were not only doing new things, they were a part of a very special time in your life, just like many teenagers today are going through the same thing. There are many scenes full of interesting and fresh msuicians who continue to experiment with sound.
