@@markmaxwell1013 Thanks! mark... I Kinda messed up the Reply Some!! But in these times, having a Special person, having faith in our Lord Savior and Playing and listening to The music We Love is to me very cool.... I Could have Bit the Dust many times through the years.... Still here at 70 and very Blessed... Thanks for the Comment... My Brother.!!!
Just wanted to say I’m glad I found your channel! You’re helping me get deeper into Prog! I’m a late comer to the genre (mostly because I was born 20 years after prog “started”) and your vids are helping to guide me through this new world! Man there’s just so much good music out there to hear. My giant stack of CDs is growing larger by the day haha. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your new videos!
Really enjoyed your video and story. Thanks for sharing. I agree we gotta carry the torch for next generation. Prog rock music has helped me get through some difficult things in my life... Starship Trooper is one of my healing songs... Take Care...
Hey Scot, don’t fight it. You were out in Earth to spread the Freak Gospel of Prog. And we’re here for it all! Always a good day when I see you talk about Prog and always (always!) you drop a new Prog band name that I’ve never heard before. Much Love and Prog!
@@TheProgCorner Cheers matey..... I LOVED this episode Scott - it is so good to hear the personal relationship between people and music - it's what makes music so very important, and I 100% agree about PROG needing all the love and support we can muster. It is taking over my life too! (side note.... I've tracked down a copy of Disorderly Conduct: Amen!)
Music is redemption, Scot. Our lives are full with the melody of redemption. The bad moments of our lives are full of tonal, flat notes, that can only be filled with the redemptive "peace and love" of the folks who get us. Those folks are our loved ones and the music that gets us. Sigur Ros and the Flaming Lips saved my life after my brother died. Frank Zappa, Django Reinhardt, Yes and David Bowie saved my friends life from further jail and drug addiction. Progressive music will always be important as it inspires, it gives our brains the adversity it needs. This adversity teaches us that life is beautiful, once we figure out the mathematical code to it all. Music = emotion + mathematics. None of us can do it alone.
The Soft Bulletin is a very special album for me. It came out at a very bad time in my life and its impact on me has been profound. As far as Sigur Ros goes: genius.
@@TheProgCorner The line from.the song the Gash, "will the fight for our sanity, be the fight of our lives?" chokes me up every time. A friend and I were trying to develop a rock opera around the Soft Bulletin, unfortunately he took his own life, so yeah the Soft Bulletin. Abandoned Ship Bells from Clouds Taste Metallic chokes me up, too. I met Wayne at Alex Grey's place, Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. Great artist, he did a few of the Tool album covers. Also, Scot, thanks for the share on your past. That type of honesty may mean you are no longer "risk adverse." Thanks, man!
@@TheProgCorner well, Wile E. Coyote fell of a few cliffs. I would contest that he is a hell of alot more interesting than that boring ass road runner! Lol
As a teen in the seventies, I grew up with a steady diet of prog: Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Supertramp, Jethro Tull, Rush. I drifted away from prog in college and towards new wave and punk. Then career, family and other interests took over and I no longer found listening to music a worthwhile pursuit. Fast forward to the lockdowns. I found myself with too much time on my hands (Styx :). I started rediscovering the greats of the past through YT and Reaction channels. Long story short, I discovered new prog. Steven Wilson's The Raven Who Refused to Sing and Spock's Beard's V were two of the albums that relit the passion for music I had as a teen, and for that I'll be forever grateful. So, although I appreciate all types of music, prog will be the music I die with.
The Raven and V, huh? You could do a lot worse!!! I had heard SB’s The Light way back when it first came out and wasn’t super excited about it. After Transatlantic I went back and OMG!!! V and The Kindness Of Strangers killed me. Hooked. ❤️👍🤘
My story is not as dramatic as yours, but has a couple similar elements. I played saxophone in high school band so in my junior year joined a band with some guys and we covered an assortment of stuff like Chicago and Traffic hits; Will It Go Round In Circles by Billy Preston; etc. My one big lead in our show was during the slow middle section of the Doobie's Jesus Is Just Alright. Good times. But we never got past playing field day at the school or the local teen club on Saturday or second place at the area Battle of the Bands. Same thing happened again in college with a different group with about the same results even though I was by then goofing on piano as well as sax and there was more actual song writing. Eventually, rather than let my six years of undergraduate college go down the drain, I got a real job as a production manger ordering print publications for the university. I did that production crap for 34 years, including all night press checks and the like. After the sax sat in the attic for a couple of decades I sold it a few years back. But four years ago I was finally able to retire with a state pension and have been working on building the movie and music collection I always wanted ever since. Life is good! Rock on, Scot! Glad your life was saved so you could become my personal progtologist. Your general emphasis on retro or classic style symphonic prog comes closer to my own interests than anyone else so I look forward to you keeping me informed.
Prog - I'm the Pumpkins fan from Larry's live chat video from today. Since you like Jimmy Chamberlin check out his jazz/rock group Jimmy Chamberlin Complex. They started in 2007. Not many vocals, more of a jam band. You'd probably like it!
Great follow-up! I already posted these words on the first video but prog has helped me through some of the worst times and enhanced some of the best times I have ever had. I think that's how it is with most of us. It's crazy how you can feel closer to people you've never met who share love of the same music than some people that you've known for decades. Strike up a conversation with a stranger and discover they love prog and they are definitely no longer a stranger! Nice to see you fighting the good fight Scot!
Ha, a mention of Disorderly Conduct! I saw you guys a couple of times and am friends with Duke, still, after many years. We do a podcast, with Phil B. also of the punk Florida F, called Easy Synesthesia, on MixCloud. I was hoping of some punk references on the videos. Cheers.
I’m glad I found your channel, your enthusiasm on your channel is… idk, it’s just so fun to watch. But I have a question, where to start with Flower Kings?
Like most great bands, it’s difficult because there are different eras. But personally I would suggest Space Revolver as an entry point. It displays a lot of styles and moods. And it’s one of their more concise efforts!!! And thanks for your kind words. I know I can be a bit OTT…
Can definitely relate to the title cause prog definitely had a huge influence on me haha. For a long time i just didn’t listen to any music at all. Then about 2 years ago i was 13-14 i heard the guitar riff for Bastille day by rush and i was blown away. I listened to the whole caress of steel album. Slowly but surely, i listened to a lot of rush and just prog in general. Then i got interested in other genres. I am definitely grateful for prog. Prog is my favorite genre for music ever. :)
Being completely selfish I'm certainly glad that your trials and tribulations have brought you to this. This channel is exactly what I wanted and I hope that you go on to make many many more videos.
I'm thankful for you, bro. You and your progunderful and progstanding show are special. I'm thankful for Jesus's power in my life. He is the Resurrection and the Life, and prog has been my soundtrack on my journey. I've messed up a lot in my life, but Jesus has never failed me, always forgiven me, and by His love and light has changed me. We all need some light!
Thanks, Charles!!! That really means a lot to me!!! It is very strange where the Lord takes you when you actually listen to Him. Music is the language of heaven. 👍❤️
Yay Prog Corner! Redemption! So glad that you've found your current muse. Really, your wealth of history and nerdiness with the genre puts you in the perfect role to give these overviews -- you know it inside and out. Use that power for good! This is only the beginning, bro.

That is a fine, fine record that gets no love!!!
Scott. You are very sincere. I enjoy your channel. Keep on progging bro!
Thank you Glenn!!! I appreciate that!!!
Since we have the Latin Grammys. I propose you start a movement for the Prog Grammys.
You might be on to something there!!!

Blaming all my personal faults on Prog Rock was really working out pretty good for me.
We all need to find that perfect scape goat!!!
@@TheProgCorner we do. I know all those Dead concerts had absolutely nothing to do with it, so it has to be Prog.
Prog is the only rock music I love. Your channel is great. Keep up the good work, please.
Prog is my #1 drug!!!
Prog Forever!

Prog rock saved MY life. It's consistently ear candy. If I ever move on to anything else my mental well-being will go downhill.

Wow!!! Bastille Day is killer!!! I love Rush. Prog on!!!
Prog ruined and saved your life. Much like the music itself, it's a complicated thing.
Very true!!! Life imitates art or is it the other way around?
Hey Scot! Don't mind me. Just getting caught up on some of your vids. Eventually I will get there. Have a good one.😎
Thanks!!! I really appreciate you and mighty Jim Newstead - my favorite TH-cam channel!!! I’m just trying to do something a little different…
Dig your efflorescent love for Prog. Life is too short. Enjoy and get excited.
Indeed!!! That’s what I think!!!
Being completely selfish I'm certainly glad that your trials and tribulations have brought you to this. This channel is exactly what I wanted and I hope that you go on to make many many more videos.
I am in it for the long haul - having found my place in the world. Finally!!!
did you see Transatlantic at Nearfest in 2000?..i was there anyway.

I think I figured out how to do our Yes episode. What’s your normal schedule look like because I think we should do it soon - maybe next week?
Ha ha I remember the video how prog ruined my life. Very enjoyable videos, bravo
Thank you!!!
I sort of know where you're coming from, although I didn't have quite the same experience. There are similarities, though.
Life is hard so I try to walk on the sunny side of the street!!!
Interesting story Scott. You have just seen my new Van Der Graaf Generator video on my You Tube channel.
So you were into punk...was Bad Religion in the rotation?
The masses of humanity have always had to SUFFER!!!
Absolutely!!! I love them. You Are The Government!!! And Into The Unknown is VERY Prog…
