Progressive rock?

Any fans of Progressive rock fans here? I am really into it though it can get a bit self indulging and pretentious at times. Though prog rock is not as popular as it used to be, their are still tons of great prog rock bands around. European Prog rock is doing very well, so is Progressive Metal.

I'm a Genesis fan.

"I'm a Genesis fan."

Rush are pretty cool at times.

Genesis (69-76), Pink Floyd (71-79), Rush, Steve Hackett. So yes, I'm a prog fan.

I'm not a big fan, i go for the simpler stuff like punk

Both, and when I say both I mean Phil Collins "And then there were three..." etc. not the later poppy stuff."

Dream Theater is prog rock.. more like Prog Metal.. but they still are, then you have classics like floyd.
So yes. I do listen to prog rock

Muse are Alt-rock/Prog-rock.

They are also completely awesome.

I'm a punk fan so philosophically I can't be.

Supertramp is the best mix of classic prog/rock I've ever heard.  They're progressive without being even slightly pretentious or self-indulgent.

:O I forgot to mention Jethro Tull!

I feel I've disgraced my name as a prog fan.

I appreciate some good Prog. We all know that it wouldn't be anywhere without Rush.

"I'm a punk fan so philosophically I can't be."

I like the Mars Volta, are they considered progressive?

":O I forgot to mention Jethro Tull!

Here are a couple of progressive rock bands that I listen to: Rush, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Yes (a little bit)
I will try some bands that you guys have mentioned here.

I don't know what you'd consider progressive, but sure. Yeah.

I love Yes, Pink Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins, Rush, and Jethro Tull. So, yes

"I love Yes, Pink Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins, Rush, and Jethro Tull. So, yes"

I do like Coheed & Cambria and Muse. I'm pretty sure they both count.

I would not call Smashing punpkins prog, but thats just me I guess."

I like Progressive metal.....

I like it! By the way, I am listening Wish You Were here, the CD not the song, right now. I was listening Meddle a few hours ago.

Dream Theater is my absolute favourite band, so I liked me some prog. Also occasionally like some Mars Volta, Coheed & Cambria, Pink Floyd, and Rush.

I am a huge prog fan. I nearly live for prog.

Favorite band:

• Genesis

  (from the 70's to the 90's. Yes, I might be the only fan of both phases.).

• Mike Oldfield (more like New Age, but similar to prog)
• Rush
• The Alan Parsons Project

• Dream Theater
• Pink Floyd
• Emerson, Lake and Palmer
• Jethro Tull
• Yes
  

I happen to think Pink Floyd is one of the greatest rock bands ever, and they're considered proggy (which I shall agree with), so there ya go. I've heard Mastodon was considered prog metal, which I'm starting to come to terms with (their albums are pretty conceptual), and I like Mastodon a lot, so that's another score. I like a whole mess of Progressive stuff. I'm not too crazy about it when some of the stuff gets a bit too pretentious, but I've learned to respect and give love to that sort of arty rock (a lot of them are awfully talented musicians, after all).

Progressive is great.
