Prog Rock for Life

Thanks! New material... mmm
And what about Irish prog? Is there any good irish group to recommend me?

The ones listed in www.progarchives.com are

DR. STRANGELY STRANGE Prog Folk
FRUUPP Symphonic Prog
GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT Post Rock/Math rock
HORSLIPS Prog Folk
LOUDEST WHISPER Prog Folk
MELLOW CANDLE Prog Folk
MUSHROOM Prog Folk
SLEVIN, JIMI Prog Folk
TRACER AMC Post Rock/Math rock

I have only heard four of these Mushroom, Mellow Candle, Horslips and Fruupp. I would highly recommend Mellow Candle. As you can see a lot of Irish prog is very Folk biased

Are they're any out and out Irish prog bands around. God is an Astronaut are great and all but you know what I mean....

As for Spanish prog I picked an Iceberg album, Tutankhamon, in Barcelona a few years ago, very good I seem to recall but haven't listened in ages

I have listened to God is an Astronaut and I like it. Specially Forever Lost

but I need to listening to them with more time and dedication.

I have founded an only song from Mellow Candle called Silver Song
http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=a42997a but I'll try find more songs to give my opinion

About spanish prog.. here most people don't remember (or they've never known any about spanish prog) any band, but if you like ICEBERG (great!) you will like another good and quite unknown band called ATILA. It's very difficult to find songs of these groups. Here is a good Atila's song

Can't believe we got this far into the thread and no-one mentioned Marillion yet. I know they're not overly thrilled with the tag, but if you like prog you'll probably enjoy at least some of their stuff.

Of the newer bands, Frost* and Tinyfish are worth a listen.

Oh harsh, harsh Ron.

Did you not shed a tear to the sound of Kayleigh? Have you not bounced up and down to the sound of Market Square Heroes? :pac: I found them a bit "lumpy" or was that just the lugubrious Fish?

One of thier better tracks
