Awesome video! One of my favorite bands.The description is slightly off, however, as The American Dollar is usually classified as post-rock/math-rock rather than prog-rock.


I like calling it prog because of the build and climax in most of their songs, but post-rock is also a pretty good label for them.

That's the logo of Gentle Giant, my favourite prog-rock band. I've posted some music by them here.


Heh, reminds me a bit of good old Ludwig-van in this.

I want to know this guy's back story. He seems to have some bitterness towards musicians.

I bet he was once the lead singer/songwriter of some serious, political, prog-rock band, but grew angry at his bandmates for showing up 10-15 minutes late and constantly missing rehearsals to play paying gigs. One day in frustration at not having his bandmates available to help him demo out some songs, he bought a Casio and fell in love.

He kicked his band mates out of the band, threw away his torn jeans, white t-shirts and leather jacket, bought himself a bright yellow shirt with keyoards on it and started his career afresh. His Casio songs were completely rejected by consumers, but they did prove to be impressive tech demos. Soon he was snatched up by Casio to create instructional videos and the rest is history.

I love this band so much -- I mean, the original band, King Crimson, but the Japanese band that covers it is amazing, as well. Prog rock continues to maintain a number one spot for music in my head, and In the Court of the Crimson King is close to ze top of that list. I listen to this song every day.

Cool. Love the prog rock. Are you in to any of the contemporary stuff like Porcupine Tree. It might not fit your playlist criteria, but you might enjoy it regardless.

I'm a mega-hardcore prog rock fan and love Porcupine Tree (seen them several times live). I just posted a new clip here if you're interested. I failed to get 10 votes for this before.

Wow, yet another prog-rock video from Japan. There must be a big prog. resurgence going on over there.

And with that ... on to the front page with you!
