and we start with News From Nowhere and their new album Five Fathom Round. "Five Fathom Round is an epic narrative album-length piece divided into three acts which tells the tale of a city doomed to destruction. Written in Swansea and Bangor over roughly seven months and recorded at Paperstone Studios in Nottingham, the album represents a fulfillment of News From Nowhere's progressive ambitions." jethrotull.proboards.com/post/41646/threadwww.facebook.com/NewsFromNowhereBand?fref=tsand since the lead singer and guitarist is on the Forum maybe he can tell us which bands influence their music. Love the extracts from the album, the subject matter and the full prog presentation package. Wish the album well!

Swedish band Moon Safari.
In the genre of symphonic prog - with beautiful harmonies.

A latter day PIL album...called simply 'PIL' or known as 'generic', really Johnny Lydon and guest stars like Ginger Baker and post-punk New Yorkers 'The Golden Paliminos' was very, very Prog !

Oh I missed this thread, sorry! Well I must say that, for me, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Gryphon, King Crimson, and other classic prog bands are some of my biggest influences. But I've also been influenced by newer prog bands like Porcupine Tree, and traditional British folk music. Influence is a strange thing. It can be manifested in many ways, and usually not quite in the way that you might expect.

I think part of it and not meaning to sound patronising in any way is us oldies are sufficiently proud that the next generation appreciate what we did and going on to produce the next generation of prog.

It's not patronising, I don't think. It's important to be aware of these bands and everything they accomplished, in my opinion.

There are a lot of great metal bands out nowadays influenced by the prog rock genre who may not necessarily classify as "prog". One I think Tull fans (and fans of prog bands) may really like is Ufomammut (WARNING: the very beginning has a particularly unpleasant brash and messy guitar bit, so make sure your speakers are not very loud at all, after that bit the song is great): Another one (and one of my personal favorites) is the mighty Electric Wizard. Mostly influenced by Sabbath, but with much more texture and depth--the leader of the band has cited many great 70s prog bands as influences: That is if your Genesis-loving @sses can handle it!
