I’m on the edge of my Prog Seat! This is my favorite type of show, where you guys take a whole year, or the A to Z of Bands that you did, or a whole country (“French bands” or whatever). These episodes dump whole lists of information on us and leave me scrambling to write down notes. I’m taking notes right now! You’ve mentioned IQ too many times , so I’m listening to some IQ and it’s really good!

Playing fast and loose with definition of prog perhaps but I'll say 1 Levithian by Mastodon 2 Ta Det Lugnt by Dungen 3 Madvillany by Madvillain 4 Spirals in Hyperspace by Ozric Tentacles.

[@daanthing6002]

Big fan of the first two. I'll check out the other ones.

[@ykmgeedee]

Madvillainy is essentially hip-hop (which I'm usually not that into) with multiple people with multiple aliases. In a vid, flipping through albums and stop at a Gentle Giant so perhaps that's a nod to that band. Spirals in Hyperspace is slightly colder and less organic than most of their jam-tronic Hawkwind-ish albums. Have fun!

great show guys loved that luis picked INDUCKTI i have that one too but not too many people know about it IQ -DARK MATTER EVERGREY -THE INNER CIRCLE AYREON-THE HUMAN EQUATION INDUKTI ENSLAVED -ESA

[@knightvisioniixv]

Enslaved's music serves as the perfect soundtrack to winter, and also for days of all seasons with heavy downpours and slaty skies. I got into the band by way of the video review Pete did for Heimdal coinciding with its release last year. I loved it upon first listen. Bought more albums from the band (I don't own them all at present), and enjoy each of the ones I have; Isa is excellent. My personal favorite, at the moment, is In Times. I was pleasantly surprised to see someone in the comments mention Orphaned Land; I believe they are more known in areas outside of the West, and I suspect that the band's music will not appeal to everyone. Talk about a metal band doing some interesting things! Mabool is an excellent album. I own the limited edition boxed set called "30 Years of Oriental Metal." My having found this band (last year) was due to serendipity. I vail my hat to Mr. Alvarez - Madvillainy _is_ all that. Always was! I have it on CD. Great show.

[@Orange_Affinity]

Those IQ and Marillion albums are so dope.

[@jimmypage2843]

A quick search of the Google machine gives me a number I liked, some that were ok/disappointing, some I have to revisit, and some that were WTF. I'll stick with only the prog albums without mentioning too many. 1. Marillion - Marbles, nothing comes close to this one, it's right at the top with Brave as my favorite Marillion album. 2. 3 - Wake Pig, great album that fits that weird niche band that sadly falls by the wayside. Joey Eppard is one talented dude like Damon Fox from Big Elf. 3. Proto-kaw - Before Came After, this sounded more like Kansas than Kansas did for some time. Of course with Kerry Livgren that's going to happen. Good album. 4. Indukti - S.U.S.A.R. - very good with some heaviness to it, didn't quite like the one that came after as much and they seemed to have disappeared from the map. 5. Orphaned Land - Mabool, this is one of those albums that were like I don't know if I like this because it's so different, like the first time I heard Remedy Lane or the Perfect Element Part 1. Then it's this is awesome once you "get it". And speaking of PoS, I remember buying BE at PP that year (maybe from Old Man Prog?), they hadn't even seen it yet before them signing it as it wasn't officially released yet. Daniel Gildenlow was a day late so I didn't get him to sign it until another time. They played nothing from it at the show. But I drove up that year so I got to listen to it on the way home a number of times and it was what the fuck did I just listen to? Talk about disappointing after Remedy Lane. It takes to the last few songs before it ever gets going. It was Gildenlow indulgence at its peak. And it still is a what the fuck album twenty years later. p.s. George, I know it's going to be one of your favorites, but AngrA isn't prog. 😉

[@georgelamie7001]

😆Mostly, no. They do have 3 albums that many see a fair amount of prog elements in though. And hey, I don't see anything proggy about quite a few of the bands that the other guys mention on these shows, so fair game! Be sucks, outside of Nihil Morari and Martius. Goldenblow indulgence for sure

[@jimmypage2843]

Goldenblow 😂 Daniel not Ken of course. Agreed on all points. Iter Impius is probably the best song on BE and that was written by Frederik Hermannson. Fun fact: I used to give people crap on the old DT board back in the day that AngrA was not prog when people tried to convince me they were. So I wore an AngrA shirt to the DT RCMH show where I can be seen wearing it I believe during TSCO. 😂

For some context of how far removed these choices are from audiophile orthodoxy, and what was deemed "relevant" at the time, here are some releases that repeatedly pop up when you Google "Greatest albums of 2004": Smile, American Idiot, The College Dropout, Good News for People Who Love Bad News, Franz Ferdinand, and Funeral. Big shout out to Chuck for mentioning at least one album a newcomer/non-prog fanatic would know if they're still an album geek. Madvillainy is awesome!

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

These aren’t what was deemed ‘relevant’…this is a prog rock show, a genre that is as far from mainstream as it gets. Not sure what your expectations were. It’s called In the Prog Seat for a reason. And it’s ‘favorites’ of 2004, not most popular.
