At this point I’m just recommending my favorite jazz albums, because you definitely should check out the genre if you like prog, especially King Crimson.Ĭharles Mingus-The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady: the jazz masterpiece with the most complex and “proggy” composition, although it would be more accurate to say “Red” is the prog album with the most Mingus-y style. Pharoah Sanders-Karma: unbelievable spiritual jazz album. Definitely read the backstory of the title track. Brilliant short album with two 10ish minute songs that’ll get you grooving. Brilliant pop songs.įela Kuti-Expensive Shit: Fela pioneered the style of Afrobeat, which mixes Nigerian music with jazz-funk. Should be way more popular among prog fans imo.

Janelle Monae-The ArchAndroid: ok, a neo-soul concept album about a messianic android in five suites WITH OVERTURES literally called Metropolis. Tyler, the Creator-Igor: moving to 2019, here’s an album with extremely detailed and complex production that’s popular, ambitious, and fantastic. You’ll love the dense grooves, and honestly, this is the one album that I cannot fathom a single person disliking. Stevie Wonder-Songs in the Key of Life: I mean, these songs are all perfect. Prog fans will love the perfect flow between songs and the super grand arrangements. Marvin Gaye-What’s Going On: Rolling Stone actually gets it right with this at #1 overall. Italicized albums are especially recommended! (Yes, many of these are VERY popular, but there’s a good chance most people haven’t heard every one of them.) Pick any genre, and I bet you’ll find something amazing there. So here’s my list of non-prog (or borderline) albums that I think any prog fan would love. I’ve definitely hinted at this in previous threads, but this time, I know the material a lot better – not just recommending based on one listen and only knowing a single album in a genre. I picked some of my favorite albums I’ve discovered within the past couple years in many different genres that would especially appeal to you guys. I’m really enjoying my exploration of tons of new music in a huge variety of genres, and I thought I’d make a list of recommendations specifically curated for the open-minded prog fan (hopefully, those exist!). Hi there again! You might remember my previous posts, including my tournaments, lists of songs and albums, etc.
