Hey... what is everyone's favorite heavy guitar progressive rock / fusions
albums... new or old? I am not talking about "progressive metal" here such
as Dream Theater, but referring more to the likes of say Rush, Steve Morse
Band, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bozzio Levin Stevens, Fourth Estate, stuff like
that. I'm not sure if you guys like to lump "progressive rock" in with
"jazz fusion", but to me there are a lot of similarities, and I love all of
it. I think with a lot of this music, there is no true clear distinction as
to whether its "fusion" or "progressive"... I'd say that there is a
"cross-over" with a lot of it. "Progressive fusion" perhaps??? Take the
Dixie Dregs for instance... what genre are they? Progressive? Fusion?
They don't seem to really fit into these categories, yet the music is very
progressive and fusiony. They are indeed "rock", but they should not be in
the same bin as AC/DC!!! Well, regardless, I am curious as to what
everyone likes in terms of heavy guitar progressive fusion type music
(albums specifically), and hope to learn about some new albums that I have
perhaps never heard before. Make your lists as long as you want. Thanks a
lot. -derek
