today on the way to work i listened to The Dark Side of the Moon. i enjoyed it, but i'd like to listen to it without the stress of driving so i can look at the lyrics at the same time. but i was still wondering what your thoughts on the album are :)

One of my all-time favorite albums 🌑

This is one of those records that's always praised as one of the greatest albums ever made, even outside of the progsphere, but honestly it deserves all the accolades just for being such a timeless piece of art. For me this was also the exact moment when Pink Floyd just fucking nailed it as a band, and the start of what I think are the band's four greatest albums all back-to-back (Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall)

It's actually an album I often recommend to people who are interested in getting into the progressive rock genre, since the concept of it is so universal and it's just very pleasant to listen to overall. I won't go into a deep dive on each song here since I assume you would prefer to form your own opinions during your next listen, but I am very glad to hear you wanted to share your first listening experience with me ✨

Quiz Time: How well do you know DREAM THEATER?

Dream Theater needs no introduction, and if you are into progressive metal, you probably crossed your paths with them. So, let’s play a game – how well do you know Dream Theater? [os-widget path=”/progsphere/how-well-do-you-know-dream-theater” of=”progsphere” width=”620��]

11. Yeah yeah this is the long song genre, so what are some of your favorite prog rock epics and why are they so important to you?

Three that immediately come to mind for me are "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd, "Supper's Ready" by Genesis, and "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van Der Graaf Generator

Pink Floyd means so much to me, and their songs were basically my introduction to prog rock epics. "Echoes" is also high up there for me because of how beautiful it is but Shine On holds a very special place in my heart. Every time I listen to this song now my mind goes back to pleasent teenage memories of listening to it on my dinky ipod nano headphones in the early morning, or on windows media player while watching the psychedelic light show the program creates alongside the music

Supper's Ready is just a goddamn classic through and through. Not only do I pride myself with how I can sing the whole song by memory, but also I still get endless amounts of enjoyment watching the Shepperton Studio's live performance of it from 1973 (I can watch Peter Gabriel's antics forever I swear <3)

A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is easily my favorite narrative song of all the prog epics I've heard, as in it tells a cohesive story from beginning to end. Lyrically it's just so well-written and engaging, switching from dark to beautiful to panic-inducing at all the right beats! Also the Belgian TV broadcast they did of this song back in '72 is something I watch more than is probably healthy for me lol

12. Is there a band or album you feel is overrated?

I honestly can't think of a specific band or album that I feel is given TOO much attention in the progsphere, but that's probably because I'm wise enough not to actually engage with any of the forums in Prog Archives. I just really can't get annoyed with even the mega popular prog bands because so few people online and irl talk about them with me that even hearing someone proclaim In The Court of the Crimson King to be the best album ever gets me excited

22. What is the weirdest goddamn prog song you've ever heard?

"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" is pretty high up there, not gonna lie XD
