Mykesbass Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 OK, I know that genres are a flawed concept, and that top 3s chop and change, but just for fun, and to possibly broaden my (and hopefully others) musical horizons, give me a Genre you love and 3 tracks that represent it. Feel free to duplicate other people's suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost* - Black Light Machine Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here IQ - The Narrow Margin Must give these a go - hoping someone will do a non Neo Prog suggestion, one Genre I've never really explored and really should (especially as I was once big into Jazz-Rock).

Twas not a choice against him though; I simply don't know his stuff, and chose Alpert simply because I could remember his name. The other two tracks have followed me my whole life. Do you happen to know essential James Last tracks for me to visit? Edited March 2 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other twotracks have followed me my whole life. Do you happen to know essential James Last tracks for me to visit? Actually that's a bit of a problem as it wasn't so much about individual tracks with Last. His big success was with albums such as Non-Stop Dancing, and a whole James Last 'A Go-Go' series. Happy Heart was the only single of note. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean a prog suggestion that is non-neo? In case: Some demanding Gentle Giant. IME this requires close listening, but gets better on each listening. A pretty song by the mighty Van der Graaf Generator: Other songs by them might be less pretty, but they're always expressive. A randomly "chosen" song by Magma, live in 1977 This one wasn't written by drummer Christian Vander, the band's main composer, but by bass player Jannick "Janik" Top.

Jackroadkill Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Stoner rock: Bringing the "go big or go home" vibes, let's start with Kyuss and the superb Demon Cleaner. From the sublime to the ridiculous (but fun), with Monster Magnet's Space Lord And let's finish with the mighty Clutch, and Electric Worry. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
