music from the future that came to the past to save the present

this is devoted to all those progressive artists, ranging back to "sun ra" through "eno" and "can" to "i am spoonbender".

any mention of mike patton will promptly be buried in the namedropping of more progressive artists vin

Led Zeppelin
john lee hooker
buddy holly

and miles davis, though he wasnt very progressive, he was stil the best of his kind

damn you're missing the point. and you're flat out wrong, too.

Cannibal Ox?

Do it's dedicated to progressive artists you like, but not ones you dislike?

vin who said anything about disliking mike patton? i'm still tickled over the drift incident; you know, it was a bit of a joke. please, mention mike patton to your heart's content.

Right, so...let's review the dynamics of this thread.

I made a remark, and you create a mock thread off the back of that, distinctly telling anyone (Me) not to mention Mike Patton, despite the fact that he is eligible for mentioning in such a thread as this regardless of liking or loathing the man.

I then post the assumption that you dislike Patton because the criteria states we shouldn't mention him, and you tell me I can mention him all I want?

I'll admit, not the most thought out of jokes. Should probably work a bit more on the delivery.

vin i don't get it! is the punchline where you lay out the dynamics of a six response thread?

i wasn't telling you not to mention mike patton (don't be silly!); i said that any mention would be buried in a namedrop. there's a real difference--don't you think?

this isn't a mock thread. i love progressive artists...i already mentioned a few of them. do you know sun ra, can, and i am spoonbender? they are very progressive 🙂

How about that band...Faith No More???

No really, New Order I'd say is a big one.

Obviously Floyd is a shoe-in here.

I'm tempted to put Beck and the Beastie Boys in here as well...although I'm probably wrong and they're not really considered prog rock.

Juan Atkins,Derrik May,Kevin Saunderson

and Deliah Derbyshire

not progressive but they certainly fit the title of this thread

juan atkins and deliah derbyshire definitely get a nod, deliah for being a pioneer of what would evolve into the kraftwerk-y sound, juan atkins for evolving the kraftwerk-y sound into what we now call techno.

see, AC? i despise techno.

new order doesn't make the list, because they were just a sonic combination of roxy music/eno and joy division. beastie boys and beck are both possible contenders, because beastie boys were essentially the first rap/rock fusion, and beck is (kind of) responsible for the slacker ethos of 90's culture. pink floyd definitely makes the list.

see AC? i despise pink floyd.

Yeah, don't know why I didn't say Joy division

I think Velvet Underground belong here as well.

I appreciate the attempts to impress, Manor, but they're not necessary.

I'd say El-P, rather than Cannox. As outstanding as the lyricism was on the Ox album, it's the production that really blew peoples' minds. Although it was definitely The Cold Vein that seemed like the record ''sent from the future to save the present'', so officially, it's Cannibal Ox.

Look at that, I just went in a big circle. Like a pigeon, with one mile left, doggy paddling through a bullshit ocean of death, and stuff.

Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come

Of course I don't understand the thread, but I will guess anyways:

Godspeed You Black Emperor
Sigur Ros
Every ****ing thing Mike Patton ever did... hehe, I enjoy me.
The Velvet Underground
Batman, hehe, I get even betterer.

I don't understand what you're suppose to do so I'll just say the song It's the End of the World as we know.
