Recommend me some progressive rock similar to 70s Genesis?!
Question: Recommend me some progressive rock similar to 70s Genesis!?
I'm a huge fan of Genesis, but am ready to branch out!. My favorite Genesis is 70s era, right after Peter Gabriel left the band (Trick Of The Tail and Wind & Wuthering), but I do like some of the mainstays of the Gabriel era (Musical Box, Knife, Fountain of Salmacis and the like)!.
I know there must be some similar awesome music out there that isn't by Genesis!.!.!.help me out, who do I need to look for!? I know about the super-popular songs by Yes and Rush, but is it worth looking for their more obscure stuff, too!? That's how I got to these albums by Genesis, from the more popular stuff like Mama and Abacab!. Honestly, it's a little hard to type in "Yes" to Youtube and expect anything to come up!.!.!.so help me out!

This is going to be fun and a reallly long answer so I'm gonna reserve My spot now and then edit it all in
Ok First!. Yes Albums I heartily recommend
Time And A Word
(Has the amazing songs "Time And A Word" and "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Required" on it)
The Yes Album
(IMO Yes's Best Effort!. Includes My fave Yes song "Starship Trooper" and the superb "I've Seen All Good People")
Close To The Edge
(Not a bad song on it!. "And You And I" is one of Yes's very best Prog Epics)
Relayer
(Has the incredible "The Gates Of Delerium/Soon")
Tales From The Topographic Oceans
(You need this entire album!. The songs work best together as a whole)
Drama
(Only a die hard Yes Fan like Me can appreciate this vastly different Yes!. But the song "Machine Messiah" is, IMO, one of their best!. BTW Jon Anderson is not on this album!.)
90125
(Most Yes Fans hate this 80's Version of the Band!. But I honestly enjoy the tight, compact, poppier sound it offers)
Related to Yes I'd HIGHLY recommend the Band Asia!. They were a Prog Supergroup comprised of Steve Howe (Guitars, Yes) Carl Palmer (Drums, ELP) & John Wetton (Bass, Uriah Heep & King Crimson)
You need their debut album "Asia" for certain!. If You like it, go from there!.
I would also recommend these Prog Albums to You
King Crimson-In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson-Red
ELP-Tarkus
ELP-Brian Salad Surgery
Van Der Graff Generator-Pawn Hearts
These are just the basics of Prog!. I know an awful lot more if Your interested!. Fell free to Email Me!.
Smiley and Fonzie would also be a great help to You!.
I'll be back to snap some Youtube links in for Ya!.
