Hiroshima and Nagasaka bombings: 65th anniversary to be marked by prayers at Capitol
The Capitol steps have been busy places lately, playing host to everything from announcements about breathable plutonium at Rocky Flats and a new Bill Ritter and Lance Armstrong-touted pro bike race to the celebration of yesterday's Prop 8 ruling. But at 3 p.m. on Sunday, a group will mark two somber events -- the 65th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.
The remembrance is sponsored by the local affiliate of Pax Christi, the national Catholic peace movement, but George McShea, who'll be emceeing the gathering, emphasizes that "the prayer service will be interfaith, ecumenical. Everybody's welcome."
Also speaking with be Michio Taniwaki, a Hiroshima survivor who'll bring home the message that the atomic attacks on August 6 and August 9, 1945, are anything but ancient history -- and McShea notes that there's a local hook, too.
"Within the State of Colorado, there are 49 nuclear weapons on trigger alert, meaning they're ready go to at quick notice," he says, adding, "Our future, or lack of a future, depends on nuclear weapons."

MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Twin Frozr Gaming OC Overclocked Video Card Review
Earlier in the week we saw NVIDIA expand the new GTX 700 series that launched just a few months ago. The latest addition to the series is a $249 mid-range video card named the GTX 760 and from what we've seen from it already, we're impressed with what NVIDIA has done - especially when you consider the price point.
Out of the box we found ourselves fairly impressed with the reference card at stock and even happier with what the model did when we overclocked it. We must admit, though, we did think the model ran a little warm sitting at 83c at load. Because of that we found ourselves really looking forward to seeing what companies would do with retail model with aftermarket cooling solutions.
Like the other GTX 700 series models that launched, we're seeing companies straight away from day one offer us non-reference cooled ones, and while we're sitting on a couple at the moment, the first one we'll be taking the time to check out comes from MSI. Falling under the new Gaming Series, we're excited to see just what MSI has done with the new model which also carries the Twin Frozr name, one that has always been one of our favorite coolers.
While an OC model out of the box, we've today decided to kick it up a notch and overclock the model even higher to see just what we're able to get out of it and see what kind of extra overclock we're able to get over the reference cooled model.
Checking out the front of the box you can see the new "Gaming Series" design. While this is the first time we've seen the new Gaming Series on a video card, it's not the first time we've seen it, as we saw it on the MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming Series motherboard back in May. Taking a look at the front of the box, you can see we've got a very simple and clean design, which we love. You've got the Gaming series logo alongside the MSI one and the model name. You can also see in the bottom left corner it's an OC Edition.
If we take a look at the back of the box, you can see we've got a run down on some of the main features that are offered including the Advanced Thermal Design via the Twin Frozr IV cooler and the higher quality components via the Military Class 4 classification.
Moving inside the package you can see we've got a fairly standard bundle with the quick user guide on the left, along with the main driver CD. As far as cables go, you can see we've got a dual-Molex to PCIe, 6-pin PCIe to 8-pin PCIe and a DVI to VGA connector.

Lance Storm discussed issues with the Hart Legacy Wrestling event that took place back in January during an interview with The LAW on Sunday night. "I was contacted by Spencer Tapley, who organized all the press conferences here in town promoting the show," Storm explained. "He asked me if I wanted to work Teddy's show, saying that he and Teddy were organizing the show. The other two people (John Oniston and Stacey Angel) were never mentioned to me until the show was over and people were to get paid. They dragged out other people going, 'It's all their fault, it's their money.' I was contacted by Spencer alone, booked by him, and I was originally supposed to be paid when I got to the building. He pulled me aside when I got there and said that he didn't have it currently, but he would really like it if I'd still work the show. He shook my hand and gave me his personal word that he would get me my money this evening, and turned out to not be a man of his word at all, lying to me then and continually lying to me for the last couple of weeks. Going as far as to say that he and Teddy were strictly employees. That they didn't own the company and they weren't running the shows, this other guy was, which I think is comical considering that's not the way it was presented in any of the media. I find it all so silly that John Oniston would start up a company named Hart Legacy Wrestling and just employ other people to run it for him. It is absurd. They're claiming that this new show is just a brand new company and is not liable for past debts, which again is ridiculous considering it's the same people running the show. It's the same venue, the same date and card that they promoted at the last show, using the same rings and product that they had obviously gotten this other guy who was no doubt an investor to foot the bill for in the beginning. The fact that they're just running a new show under a new name and don't seem to think that they're obligated to pay past debts I think is pretty much a joke." The LAW airs every Sunday night at 11pm EST on TSN 1050 Toronto, TEAM 1410 in Vancouver and online at liveaudiowrestling.com. RARE: Big E Langston Teams with Ryback in FCW Match

New London — Work began Friday to repair the broken water line that hemorrhaged 8,000 gallons per minute Thursday and threatened the water supply for both New London and Waterford, but crews still have not yet been able to access the pipe itself.
On Friday, crews from New London Public Works and Veolia, the water company that New London uses, were at the scene of the leak, which is off a trail inside Bates Woods Park.
New London Public Utilities Director Joseph Lanzafame said crews have reduced water flow through the broken pipe to just a trickle but have to wait for the area to drain before bringing in an excavator to unearth the defective pipe. "We pretty much have a full shutdown at this point, (water flow is) very, very slow and we're thinking that it's just the pipe draining," he said. "We're going to have to wait a few days for that area to dry out before we get in there, but we have a strategic plan to get it fixed over the next week."
Once the soil around the leak is more stable, crews will be able to access the pipe, which is buried about 8 feet underground, and examine it more closely to try to determine a cause.
"We're going to dig down so we can find the spot on the pipe that is a problem, pinpoint it and take care of the leak," Lanzafame said. "Then we'll cut out the broken section and replace it."
The pipe that burst is a 20-inch transmission line, likely made of cast iron and more than 50 years old. It is one of several that feeds the city's distribution system, according to Lanzafame.
The mayor's office said the city does not yet have an estimated cost for Thursday's response and the ongoing repairs.
On Thursday afternoon, water could be seen bubbling from underground, creating a 10- by 20-foot pond that was about 3 feet deep. The water flowed away into a marshy area of Bates Woods Park.
Though the city does not have an estimate as to just how much water was lost Thursday, Lanzafame said it was leaking at a rate of 8,000 gallons per minute for at least 12 hours. Based on those figures, the water system discharged at least 5.7 million gallons of water.
Because the leak occurred in a remote, swampy area and not along a roadway or in a neighborhood, there was no concern about possible flooding or road washout. But it also meant that crews had to hunt to find the source of the leak.
Lanzafame said Thursday that had it taken an hour or an hour and a half longer to locate the break, the city would have faced "a major catastrophe."
"Residents and businesses throughout New London would have been without clean water for the next month," he said Thursday in a prepared statement.
"If you run out of water in a system, the tanks drain down and people don't have any pressure. Areas of higher elevation would completely lose pressure and draw a vacuum," Lanzafame said. "When you start to draw a vacuum, you're in trouble."
Had the pressure of the city's water system dropped below the pressure of the plumbing systems it serves, the flow of water could reverse and draw possibly contaminated water back into the city's water works, Lanzafame said.
"You don't know what kind of contaminants you're drawing into the system," he said. "When that kind of thing happens, you're chlorinating for months, you have to flush the whole system, you're wasting an awful lot of water and it's very difficult to get the system back to normal."

Everything is pretty First Class in the rooms. Nice fabric, furniture, comfortable beds, plush towels, coffee pots with ceramic mugs, actual glassware (not plastic) triple sheet beds, flat panel lcd, encore movie channels, on demand tv. Beautiful bathroom tiles and marble sinks. Nice large workdesk, pretty views of golf course. Nice heated pool (the best time to swim is between noon and 3pm, or 10-11pm is adult time. Large hot tub, beautiful Spa: massages are a little spendy, but when you can drop that much gambling in 10 minutes, its all relative. For Spa Clients, they have 7-Head Showers(glorious) and beautiful first class locker room with every amenity you could want. This is a smoking hotel and casino. If you do not smoke or cannot stand the smell of smoke, you probably shouldn't go to the casino. They also have more than usual restaurant choices. The Steakhouse is closed Monday and (Tues?) the Cafe is great, the Buffet is pretty standard, plus there is also a Food Court that has 4 different food stands. This is an alcohol-free casino, but that doesn't seem to affect the attendance levels. Gaming floor is ginormous and lots of variety. This is a great get-away for locals, and definately higher class than most hotels in the southern Twin Cities suburbs. Takes about a half hour to arrive from the airport.

*Editor's note: We've updated the post below with information regarding changes in PMI and MIP rules. For the most up-to-date information, please leave a comment below or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll answer your questions!
Many homeowners pay it and many home buyers try to avoid it … mortgage insurance. You may be wondering, "What's mortgage insurance and why do I have to pay for it?" Conventional mortgages have private mortgage insurance (PMI). FHA loans have a different insurance structure, and you pay what's called a mortgage insurance premium (MIP). Here's more information on both, and how they may affect your payments when you purchase a home or refinance your mortgage.
What is mortgage insurance?
Mortgage insurance is required for most home loans that don't have at least a 20% down payment. It's bought and paid for by the homeowner, but it offers them no coverage. In a nutshell, it's there to protect the investor (who buys the loan on a secondary market) if the loan goes into default. There are a couple of different types of mortgage insurance depending on your loan.
Conventional Loans: Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
As part of the loan guidelines set out by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and most investors in conventional loans, a borrower is required to pay PMI when at least 20% of a home's purchase price is not provided as a down payment.
Investors view the down payment as additional evidence that you are financially prepared to take on the debt of a monthly mortgage payment. The larger the down payment, the more you can prove to the investor that you will not be at risk of joining the default statistics.
When obtaining a mortgage, it's important that you find a loan that fits your specific situation and goals. Quicken Loans offers the PMI Advantage program, in which borrowers can choose a slightly higher interest rate to take advantage of lender-paid PMI. Learn more about PMI Advantage.
FHA Loans: Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP)
While conventional loans have more strict underwriting guidelines, FHA-insured loans require a small amount of cash to close a loan. As a result, all borrowers must pay MIP to insure the investor against loss if the homeowner defaults on the mortgage. While there are ways to avoid PMI with conventional loans, there is no way to avoid MIP on FHA loans because the minimum down payment is only 3.5%.
Whether MIP can ever come off your FHA loan depends on a few factors, including when it was originated, the amount of your down payment, and the current loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.
For originations on or after June 3, 2013, FHA requires MIP to be paid for 11 years if your original LTV is 90% or lower, and for the life of the loan if it's over 90%. For more details, visit this post.
MIP amounts were also decreased for all originations on or after January 26, 2015. For more information on the cuts, check out this post.
For loans originated as of October 4, 2010, if your FHA term is more than 15 years, your monthly mortgage insurance payments will be cancelled when the LTV reaches 78%. This is calculated based on the original value of your FHA home loan and only if you paid the annual MIP amounts for at least five years. If the term of your FHA loan is 15 years or less, with an LTV of 90% or greater, the monthly mortgage insurance payments will stop when the LTV reaches 78%. Mortgages with an LTV of 89.99% or less will not be charged annual mortgage insurance premiums. If your loan was originated on or after April 18, 2011, FHA made a change to their MIP factors which impacted the 15-year loan. Now, there is MIP on LTVs greater than 78%. LTVs less than or equal to 78% do not require MIP, however not all lenders have followed suit with the 0% MIP on LTVs less than 78%.
For investors, it's true that insurance replaces the unknown with security. For home buyers and homeowners, the best strategy is to obtain a mortgage that meets your needs, your pocketbook and your financial goals.

PMI just seems like such a waste of money….
Pingback: No Down Payment Loans and Low Down Payment Loans: Do They Still Exist? |
We got a conventional loan and had the PMI rolled into the mortgage. Can you still make a tax claim for this?
I have a question on what is considered "the original value of your FHA home loan".
Is this the amount of the original appraisal, or is this the original loan amount? My home appraised for 16% more than what I paid. I have been paying MIP for over 5 years and my current loan-to-value (LTV) based on original appraisal is 74 percent. The bank is refusing to remove the MIP insurance based on a Loan to Original Loan Amount of rather than Original Value of the home.
Does anyone know about this? I have not read anywhere on any website that Original Value is the original LOAN amount. I would think if this were they case they would just call it that rather than Original Value.
Any help on this subject would be appreciated!!
Miranda Crace
Hi Rachel! Thanks for your comment. I've passed your comment on to our home loan experts who will be in touch with you soon.
The LTV always refers to the loan amount compared to the sales price. Example , if you were buying a house that cost 100,000 and your loan amount was 80,000 your LTV would be 80%.
Yolanda L. Quintanilla
I have paid 16 years on an FHA mortgage loan. I am trying yo refinance for a lower interest rate for 14 years. What steps can I take to avoid having to pay for mortgage insurance monthly? The mortgage company has included it.

Difficult and intense, and a lot of behavioral questions. Doesn't matter how you answer and how long you have prepared, they hire the ones they like and the candidate's manager had reached out to the hiring manager to discuss. Otherwise you don't have a chance.

- No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6+ months. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in September 2015.
Drawn out and long process that requires a high level of stamina. Interview was a whole day process that involved meetings, presentation, question and answer and a bombardment of questions on personality, technical skills and behavior. You felt like you were under a microscope and they were looking for any weakness in your abilities. They seems to want someone really specific for their job and I highly doubt they could find someone perfect to fit that role. But overall an intelligent group that wants people who fit their culture and will place a person under stressed conditions to see how they react.

The interview process was fairly easy and fair. I interviewed through a recruiting agency and it took a couple of days for the agency to call me and set up an interview. On the day of the interview I was greeted by two managers and was asked fairly simple behavioral questions. There was only three questions and a short writing prompt at the end. It took them about one week to get back to me and I was able to get the job.

Great rub. My boyfriend doesn't drink coffee and thought the rub sounded "weird" but now he asks for these burgers all the time. I have also used the on tri-tip and pork tenderloin and both were excellent. Typically, I use smoked gouda for the cheese which I think works great.flag if inappropriate
These were amazing! And that's coming from a former vegetarian. I did do a few tweaks...I used 1 lbs grass fed organic beef packed into 3 patties. I used the full amounts for the rub and made sure to give each side of each burger a good coating. I also took a yellow onion and carmelized it in the bacon drippings. Topped it off with some Sweet Baby Rays tangy BBQ sauce and it was so delicious. I did use some smoked mozzarella on two for the cheese lovers but found that I wouldn't have even noticied had I skipped that part. Overall, this is now my go-to burger recipe for years to come. Highly recommended.flag if inappropriate
Oh my gosh! This was absolutely delicious! This is the best burger I've ever made! Must curb enthusiasm...but really this was so awe inspiring and I'm not a huge burger fan. The coffee rub can be tweaked depending on the spices you have available. I didn't have freshly ground coffee so I had to use instant (blah) and I can only imagine what it is going to taste like when I get beans. I caramalized my onions as per other reviewers but this burger could stand alone without condiments and be great. Gonna try it with steak tonight.flag if inappropriate
I cant eat bamhurgersflag if inappropriate
Loved it !!! great flavorsflag if inappropriate
Impressed that the recipe was so easy and tasted so good. Excellent rub and I wonder it will work as well on steaks which take longer to cook.flag if inappropriate
Amazing recipe for burgers! I made spice rub and used the chuck and sirloin mixture (not grass fed though). I was generous with the spice, as other reviewers suggested, and rubbed all of the spice on both sides of the burgers. I carmelized the onions. All of the guests loved them!flag if inappropriate
Delicious burger with a kick. The coffee in the rub also helps to combat food coma.flag if inappropriate
Absolutely delicious! Followed the recipe precisely except for the potato rolls and smoked cheese, which are just impossible to source in rural Ireland. Reminded us of home. YUM!flag if inappropriate
We all really enjoyed this burger but I expected more flavor. I think next time I will put the rub on both sides and see if it better meets my expectations.flag if inappropriate

Best Progressive Rock Bandsfortnight
The Top TenXW
Pink Floyd... Pink Floyd.. Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd! One of these bands in wich you see all the members of the group, that make they job really good. Very underrated band, for me they should stay at the same place were everyone put Led Zeppelin, cause this band really deserves it. All knew the "Another Brick in the Wall", "Comfortably Numb" or "Wish You Were Here" but not only on this songs Pink Floyd ends. They made so many excellent albums like: Meddle, Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Division Bell- all of them have something unusual something special. Without this special thing, I feel my world would be more empty then it's now. Long live the Pink Floyd!
Along side Jethro Tull they started back in 1967. Before David Gilmour joined in 1968 the band consisted of members Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Roger Waters and Syd Barret. They where involved in the psychedelic, underground druggy scene and had singles such as Arnold Lane and See Emily play. Other bands either played on the same stage as them or where around the same time such as jimi hendrix, The Move, Roy Harper ( who sang on have a cigar). Syd had a LSD drug problem and was replaced with gilmour in 1968. I thought gilmour introduced prog to the band with such master pieces as Dark side of the moon, echoes, Shine on you crazy diamond, Animals, the Wall and the unreleased film soundtrack called Zabriskie Point. Putting two great writers together like Gilmour and Waters together in 1968 is like putting McCartney and Lennon together you know your going to get great music. In 1983 the band returned to the studio to record the final cut, an album that was sung about the Falklands War. ...more
So glad that Pink Floyd is number one on this list. They are the pioneers of progressive rock and have made the best prog albums ever. Dark side of the moon, the wall, animals, and wish you were here are master pieces. On a side note glad to see Rush at number 2. It was a hard decision to pick between these two prog gods - dchamblin42
Most other bands influenced by this myth band!V35 Comments
Dude! 20 studio albums, started in 1968 and never broke up! They have the greatest rock bassist, greatest rock drummer, and one hell of a guitarist! I know some people are not big fans of their lyrics, and they weren't as commercially successful, but give them a chance. They have some powerful albums, especially albums such as Counterparts, Test For Echo, Grace Under Pressure, Fly By Night, and so on. For 40 years they have been a band, and took a 6 year hiatus but have never called it quits. They always find ways to try new musical styles and make their next album better than the last. Listen to Geddy Lee's bass solos and Neil Peart drum! They are wicked awesome! And don't forget Alex Lifeson's solos. Powerful stuff in all of their albums. They deserve the #1 slot! They are not only the best prog rock band, but in my opinion the best band ever!
Here we are over 40 years later and Clockwork Angels, the album and the book just blows the mind. They are probably more influential now than ever and seem to just get better. Some people have had a hard time with Geddy's voice from the earlier days but it was always pure and certainly always progressive as their entire approach to the music they have produced. Glad that they finally were given the credit due to them in 2013 with the rock hall induction, a successful tour and an album of great new material. Keep bringing it Rush, we can't wait to see what is coming next!
A modern day warrior mean mean stride todays tom sawyer mean mean pride. Come on! That's poetry! And the music is beautiful! Rush has the greatest drummer, bassist, and a heck of a guitarist. They're great to their fans and have no off stage drama at all. And the lyrics speak to you. They get you thinking. And the music, gee whiz, where do I start? Anyway, I believe that Rush isn't only the greatest prog rock band of all time, but they're one of the greatest bands in general.
Rush is THE best rock progressive band everV54 Comments
The Band released their first album back 1969. It was called as From Genesis to Revelation. And I thought it was repetitive and dull. Around this time the band focused more on music related to religion. They started prog a year after 1969 joining Fripps unique sound. The Band members are Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett and Tony Banks. Peter Gabriel helped provide strange lyrics and outfits with masterpieces such as Selling England by the pound, foxtrot and Nursery Cryme. He left the band in 1975 after being offered a role in a film and his wife was pregnant. Though Gabriel left, Collins agreed to sing vocals. They released albums such as Trick of the tail and Wind And Wuthering with songs like Earl Of Grey and Dance on a volcano, which both had reprises. He invented guitar tapping but some people say Van Halen did. Hackett left the band after the Wind and Wuthering sessions. The band continued to perform without him.

Rush and Dream Theater?! Goddammit guys, look to your roots. The bands that defined prog and brought NEW ideas to the table, instead of mining what the '70's bands have done. Rush is just combining the whimsy of Genesis with harder stylings of Yes, while Dream Theater is just a "harder" version of mid-70's King Crimson, without the improvising ability but with "shredding". All hope for Prog Rock is lost if this is really popular opinion. Genesis is my favorite because of the consistency of albums from Nursery Cryme to Winds and Wuthering, the best stretch of albums in Prog history. But it could have as easily been King Crimson.
Trespass to Seconds Out is an amazing run of albums. Peter Gabriel is in my opinion one of the greatest singers in the history of rock. And Phil Collins' drum playing on those albums... Certainly the best prog rock drummer after Mr. Bill Bruford. He is just a beast and isn't just hitting the drums. He plays clean runs in some of the hardest time signatures. Genesis like other prog rock bands has extremely talented musicians. Pink Floyd is overrated as hell. The most talented members in that band were David Gilmour and Richard Wright (RIP). They made good music but it wasn't exactly what I would call prog. They were art rock, and had some prog songs (Animals), but were more psychedelic and experimental. Rush became hard rock when they made Moving Pictures. I'd say the top 3 would be Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson. But this is all my opinion.
Supper's Ready alone should put them at number one.V25 Comments
3 compositions (Close to the Edge, The Gates of Delirium and Awaken) are the best prog rock suits ever composed. They are perfect and cannot be even compared to each other (each of the 3 is a different one). The other songs are also remarkable. The 80s did not affect the band so much as the other prog bands since 90125 is a very good album. The later works showed the return of the old quality (especially in the Key to Ascension) - Mind Drive, That That is, Homeworld, Dreamtime and Fly from Here (and even Endless Dream) are still very good pieces of music.
Even though I entered the world of Prog through means of other bands such as Dream Theater (which is still to date my favorite band of all time), as far as strict prog rock goes, it was not until I finally encountered Yes, that I came to find love with prog rock's purest soul. The classic one. The one that really inspires great things just by listening to it.
What? Yes should be at number one, all of the above are good but not as god as yes! They are the best! They are so creative and it is an out rage that they are number 7, more creative than any of these fantastic bands, they are good but yes edges them slightly

If you're a big of prog fan then you must agree with me that they are indeed number 1. I always thought that back in 1969, in the court of the of the crimson king started prog. There are different reasons why they are number 1 such as: the greatest prog album of all time In The Court Of the Crimson King. Some of the best prog songs their ever was such as: 21st csm, larks tongues in aspic I-IV, Discipline, fractured etc. They have a very different sound that introduced: melotron ( basically a orchestral kind of thing in a box) Violins, Organs, horns, bells, saxophones. I all ways thought if it wasn't for the beatles we wouldn't have sgt pepper and if we didn't have sgt pepper we wouldn't have king crimson and the genius that is Sir Robert Fripp ( who was the only member not leave the band), sitting there in the corner like a mad scientist guitarist. And that's what introduced prog and is the best prog had on offer in my own opinion.
Pink Floyd is my favorite band and has been for years, but no band has done as much for progressive rock as King Crimson. Fripp is a genius and this band should have the recognition they deserve.
And Dream Theater, really guys? Also Porcupine Tree over Yes, ELP, and King Crimson? Hahaha and Grateful Dead even on the list? Oh wow, my sides.
Oh no Jethro Tull or Gentle Giant? I am so disappointed.
Come on they've got to be higher than this. Pink Floyd is obviously number one but this should be at number 2! I love them because of all the variety in their music. I mean listen to different parts of their career! You can hardly tell they're the same band! Their first period of music in my opinion was from 1969-70 with their first three albums. ITCOTCK is very complex and innovative. Remember this was 1969, progressive rock was hardly in its infancy yet. Lizard is a very weird album with strange lyrics. In 1971 they released Islands. I love the jazz-rock style they went for here! The title track is beautiful. From 1973-74 they started to make heavier and more experimental music. In 1981-84 they made more new wave and a little bit of pop music. From 1995-2003 they got WAY heavier than ever and made tons of industial rock and some songs could even be considered progressive metal. Now that they've reformed again who knows what direction they will take!
I was recently introduced to Prog and "In the Court of the Crimson King" was the first song I heard. Also, I'm writing a paper on Prog Pioneers and King Crimson caught me as well. Genesis and Pink Floyd are other bands I enjoy.V18 Comments
Dream Theater introduced me into the world of progressive metal/rock and I will be thankful forever for that. I would like to say that Dream Theater is one of the best bands in the progressive music scene, incluiding complex song structures and beauty flowing between every arrangement. For instance, the song A change of seasons introduces you completely into DT's world and it really seems as if it was shifting seasons. And the wonderful Octavarium... If I had to choose one song to listen to for the rest of my life, I would choose this masterpiece. So please, don't be scared because of its 24 minute long duration, and don't give up if the first time you don't like it! And if you don't like it after several listens, just check up the lyrics... They are so moving!
The first time I listened to Octavarium, I was completely blown away. How could five guys produce music instrumentally of such a high standard... All virtuosos on their instruments. I then went on and listened to the rest of their catalogue of albums and soon realised this band were very special in prog circles. I just love their ability to play long complex numbers with huge instrumental sections... Which I think epitomises PROG ROCK
I started listening to dream theater when I was in high school... My music life change! I like dream theater, no! I really really really like their music... I always listen to all their song... I collected all albums... So I want to be number 1!
Best of all timeV36 Comments
Most of these bands are OLD. Worn out groups from the 70's that people have been sucking on for a long time with nothing new. Porcupine Tree, on the other hand, has been around for quite some time and just keeps getting better and better. Don't trash 'em until you listen to them. They get in your head and then you just can't stop listening to them.
Steven Wilson is a genius. If you want something new in the vein of Floyd that'll rock your socks, give these guys a try. You won't be disappointed.
I couldn't agree more. Been listening to these guys since about 2005 and just can't stop. Once I started they very quickly moved up my personal chart until I could no longer say there was another band I liked more than them. There are bands I like just as much (Pink Floyd) or almost as much (Marillion) but if you start with the "In Absentia" album and go forward from there you'll be hooked. Then, go backward from In Absentia and really enjoy yourself with Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, Signify, etc.
I dare you to find a tune you don't like.
Porcupine Tree should be at AT LEAST THE TOP FIVE. Their songs have been great, and they are STILL running great. Yes, they might have been a little psychedelic rock before, but now they've shifted and I think there are a hell lot of people who would agree Porcupine Tree should be at the top. LIVE UP TO THEIR NAMES. THEY SHOULD BE AT THE TOP BRANCHES OF THE TREE, DAMMIT!
Steven. Wilson is a musical genius.V31 Comments
I've always thought that ELP was in a class by themselves. Their album Brain Salad Surgery is almost a concept album.
Emerson lake and palmer are just the most beautiful sounding band EVER! I find that they have the warmest sound and it is so surprising how much sound they can make with only three people! The best would be to listen to ELP on a record player with surround sound. They are just exceptional especially in their live acts! Go Check Them out!
ELP may not be the best progressive rock band, but they're definitely better than Porcupine Tree, and Dream Theater. Simply listen to Tarkus, or Pictures at an Exhibition, or most of all Karn Evil 9. This is THE progressive rock band, their music screams prog rock, and they embrace it.
No band can come anywhere near their musicianship or Greg Lake vocals!V8 Comments
They Started off as a folk band 1967 and the singer/ piper Ian Anderson has been with them ever since. The band started progish on the second album and have carried on this style ever since. It was 1967 Anderson started playing the flute and quickly taught himself how to play. In 1970 the band had reached success with aqualung, a concept album about a tramp. Ian Anderson said that the album was never intended to be a concept album and still says it isn't till this day. Glenn Cornick left the band after the aqualung sessions to go on and do other things, he would eventually become a member of Bob Welsh's Paris band. After hearing people say that aqualung was a concept album Anderson decided to make one. Thick as a Brick was released in 1971 and is one of the best concept albums to listen. Both sides of the albums where one song each, split into several sections. Most Progressive rock bands do this anyway such as Emerson, lake and palmer's Tarkus, pink floyd's Atom Heart Mother and Yes's Relayer. Thick as a Brick told a story about a fictional boy called Gerald Bostock. The album cover opens as a newspaper. That's the thing about progressive rock the albums cover artwork is a delight to look at besides listening to the songs. Tull's other albums are: A Passion Play a strange album with stories that include a hare who lost his spectacles warc child: would you like another cup of tea dear? Minsrel in the gallery album describes has something to do with anderson's divorce fro his ex wife jenie. Jenie wrote the song aqualung. A very creative Band.
Simply the best progressive rock band from my perspective. The Masters of diversity! They visit so many different genres and are able to pull it off, in a spectacular way. The musicianship of all the band-members are simply mind-blowing at times, since they all are quite familiar with two or three instruments beside their main instrument. That's way I've "named" them the Masters of Diversity!
I do like King Crimson and Yes quite a bit, I do like Rush and Pink Floyd but I think they are overrated, but I love Jethro Tull because they do one thing well that that most other progressive rock bands only act like it's an afterthought, make their music fun. Thick as a Brick and Aqualung are both awesome albums.
Excellent excellent excellent band that brought prog some mainstream successV11 Comments
Like many of the bands on this list, Tool is known for having a sound that is extremely build-upon. Tool has quite a lot of layers in each one of their 55 or so songs, and the listener really begins to hear each one the more they discover the longer, harder to digest songs in Tool's four-album discography. This discography also includes one extended play and one compilation album, and with only four band members, Adam Jones, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, and Maynard James Keenan, this alternative metal band has been able to replicate and change a certain sound that they have been able to retain for nearly twenty-five years.
Their first full-length album titled Undertow explores themes that are not later shown in other albums. Ideas of disaster, abuse, hatred in one's mind, and even deeper elements of disaster in certain tracks, such as the fifteen-minute "Disgustipated." One song that explores these themes very well is the 10th song on the album titled "Flood." A nearly five-minute intro prepares the listener with an atmosphere of impending doom. When Keenan's vocals kick in, one can already see the devastation that overtook the situation that the singer places himself in. Keenan's lyrics suggest looking for higher ground to avoid the lurking flash flood behind him. When he finds that he did not find the higher ground that he believed to be, he mutters, "I was wrong/This changes everything." Despite very little instrumental accompaniment, this part manages to be one of the best transitions on the entire album.
The band's second album, titled Ænima, is praised for showing Tool's turn away from the raw sound that Undertow supplied. This album is also notable for it's heavy use of transitional tracks, giving the listener a one to two minute foreword to the upcoming song. Some of these songs are later revealed to be pranks on the listener, such as, "Useful Idiot," and "Die Eier von Satan," while others are simply meant to supply an atmosphere for the listener, such as "(-) Ions." Ænima gives the listener themes of abandonment, out-of-body experiences, and early themes of transcendence. The song "Pushit" puts the listener in an uncomfortable state of being pushed to the breaking point. Keenan retells his experiences of being pushed around by the people he loves in his younger years. Even the people in his own house push him to the point of running away and never coming back.
Tool's seminal LP, the one that broke past the barriers of being an underground band is their third studio album Lateralus. This album continues on the previous theme of elevation to an higher form as a person, both spiritually and literally. The midsection of the album explores the everyday troubling events in life that, when built up to a maximum point, create a emotional breakdown of the receiver of these events. The real outlier of this album is definitely the eleven-minute song ...read more - BurstingFlares
They truly do have one of the strongest lineups of all time. Rush is as strong as well. And Dream Theater. That's just speaking in terms of raw talent. Then you have people like Pink Floyd who are insanely artistic. Tool is amazing with this as well. Best altogether band for a long, long time.
Tool is one of the most original bands I've ever heard, I must confess I only started listening to them about a year 1/2 ago, but ever since that happened, I've become fairly addicted to them, and the song "schism" is definitely the main reason they got my attention, never in my life have I listened to a song and couldn't think about anything else for a month, and back then I didn't know about all the other great ones like "vicarious", "sober", "Lateralus", etc... yeah tool deserves to be on the top 10 greatest progressive rock bands ever, no doubt about that.
The best rock band of all time.V19 Comments

Caught them live in 1970 playing to a sparse crowd, not ready for what we were about to hear! Unlike any band heard before. Totally enthralled with their multi-instrument skill and complexity of the music. Some of the songs take a second, third or forth listening but once you " acquire the taste" you're hooked. "Playing The Fool" may be the best live prog album.
When you really think about it, any real prog rock rock fan cannot deny the incredible musical dexterity of the Giant. Overlaying rhythms and vocals with the most complex compositions of any of the prog groups ever in existence. I am a big fan of the obvious proggers such as Yes, Tull, Crimso, UK and ELP, however GG is unmatched in many ways and each album offers a new height that the band reached at the time of release. While each album from 1970 through 76 were at one time my favorite, nearly 4 decades later my vote goes to Octopus for being the quintessential Giant offering. Check them out if you haven't yet indulged and acquire the taste! Eric Haubner
Missed a chance to see them in the 70's when I didn't know who they were - regretted it ever since - AndyBasic
I Love Kansas. Not quite like any other Prog band. They have a violin and a more orchestral sound than most prog bands. They aren't early enough to be a Prog pioneer, so they just sort of took the concept in a different direction. Sort of like Pink Floyd but in a different direction. They are certainly the first good American Prog group and somehow that is perceived as bad by some. I won't lie and say the Kansas kept making the best music ever into the 80s and 90s, although some of their later stuff is fine. I just like Kansas in the 70s more than any other band at any other point. Choosing a longer standing band with a less impressive peak is like picking a sour candy over a chocolate. Who does that?
And I don't think they get enough credit for their hot period because A. they started in nowhere America.B. They started in the mid 70s as opposed to late 60s. And they had cooled off a few years after people had finally caught on to how great they were. Listen to their first 3 Albums. They are just as good as the next 2, which are the only ones people know from them. Because they hadn't caught on yet.
Kansas is one of the few bands that I have purchased every things the original six members have put out, together and individually. There is just something about them that I can't get enough of them. While I agree that all the bands in this list have a place in the top ten, I think Kansas is in the top 5.
This band is absolutely brilliant, lyrically, and instrumentally. Miracles out of nowhere has lyrics that capture your soul, and the captivating solo is so good.
Kansas should be up there with RushV12 Comments
What the hell did I just saw near the end : System Of A Down?! Seriously?! It's said progressive rock! Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Dream Theater, but it's more metal than rock, and I don't have to vote for Pink Floyd, they're already first. Marillion is too underrated and a really awesome band, the Misplaced Childhood album is just a rock prog monument. Nothing else to say, just listen to it, you'll see.
Glad to see after so many years of complete obscurity especially in the US that Marillion are finally starting to get some consideration and respect. It's deserved, and although they've only had one truly classic album in the last 15 years (Marbles), they still have occasionally great songs on their albums, and the original 8 to 10 albums will always rank them in my top 5.
Such a varied band - they don't really belong in a single category. Every album has its own style, and these guys are so creative and astoundingly brilliant I can't put it into words. Musical masters.
Should be in top 5 without any doubt.V16 Comments
This highly under-rated band deserve to be up there. Still making new music and touring, their hey-day was the 1970s - great mellatron influenced prog rock albums such as "Once Again", "Time-Honoured Ghosts", "Octoberon", "Gone to Earth" (3rd most successful album of all time in Germany, 1st being Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here") and "Everyone is Everybody Else". A Lancashire band but immensely successful all over Europe - played a free concert to a live audience of 250,000 people in West Berlin and were the first UK rock band to be invited to perform (to 175,000 people) in East Berlin. Currently touring in Japan.
I find it incomprehensible that it has been necessary for me to add BJH to the bottom of a long list of lesser-known bands. Still going (in 2 different guises) after 45 years, they were in the forefront of the prog rock trail blazers of the late 60s and 70s. They achieved prenomenal success all over Europe (if not the UK) and played a free concert to 250,000 people in West Berlin. They were also the first western rock band to be invited to perform in pre-Glasnost East Berlin - to an audience of 175,000 people. Their album, "Gone to Earth" is officially the third most popular album since records began in Europe's biggest music market - Germany (Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" being number one). Their classic albums, particularly those made in the 60s and 70s are sublime.
Fully deserve a high placing in this list. Saw them live in their 'John Lees Barclay James Harvest' guise (the other 'splinter band' being 'Barclay James Harvest featuring Les Holroyd') as recently as December 2013, following the release of their excellent new album, "North", and they were even more impressive than I expected. Also, imagine my surprise when I switched on my television on Christmas Day, whilst on holiday in Germany, to find that they were putting on a special Christmas Day concert for the channel in question - all this 47 years after they were formed! A much bigger British band than people realise!
Discovered them when Time Honoured Ghosts came out in the mid - seventies and still love them today. Looking forward to October in wolverhampton for John Lees' Barclay James Harvest and the new album!V12 Comments
Well there are other very good prog artists: Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Yes, VDGG... But Camel is the most emotive prog band. Apart having good musicians (Peter Bardens, Andy Ward and Doug Ferguson at the beginning then Richard Sinclair, Mel Collins, Kit Watkins, Colin Bass, Ton Scheerpenzel... ), the leader, guitarist and composer Andy Latimer is one the best musician ever: everything is in his guitar playing emotion (Lady Fantasy, Ice, Never Let Go), power (Rhyader goes to Town, Lunar Sea) and virtuosity (Candle Hour, Rajaz, Air Born). This could definite the whole band!
What can I say. Like The Beatles use to do, Camel capitalized on. In most of their songs, you get Rock, Classical, Orchestra, and other aspects of music all in one song. Loved how they could do a 9 min song and make it seem like only a few minutes. You hear the effort, and great care of the band in all their music. They used a lot of instruments and the small details really stand out. Not overdone either. The Vocals few though they are, do give a haunting feeling that goes with the music.
Camel's music is melodic and beautiful. Although they use 5/4, 7/4 and other time signatures the music is never complex just for its own sake. Quite a few talented musicians have been part of the band over the years, including Peter Bardens who did much to establish the distinctive Camel sound and Andy Ward, the wonderful drummer on all their 1970s material. But its the peerless Andrew Latimer, a wonderfully emotional guitar player and flautist and talented composer, who is the heart and soul of this fantastic band.
Just getting into them and I love them so far! - SammySporeV10 Comments
This isn't even prog rock. It's alternative/experimental/electronic rock.
Every song is different and is about completely different topics. They're not all about drugs, alcohol, sex, or girls. Just meaningful stuff.
One of the greatest band except that they are not a Prog Rock band.. - splash-silence
I don't now well radiohead its progresive rock band
OPETH ARE GENIUSES NOT ONLY IN PROGRESSIVE METAL but also have the sweetest progressive rock ballads like Harvest, Burden, In My Time Of Need, Benighted and more and more...
Opeth, deserves to be in top 5. Masters of modern progressive rock/metal. Probably one of the most versatile bands of all time. A very unique sound, Jazzy metal drumming, Creative heavy riffs along with acoustics and kickass bass player, Mikael Akerfeldt. GENIUS PURE GENIUS!
Highly underrated. I find them to be the most interesting, complex and original band of the last few decades. I especially appreciate them for not being preoccupied just with sounding "so metull hurr durr" (not that the other bands necessarily are, but some fans would want them to :D ); fascinating harmonies, always surprising, delicious, original and fresh on every level. Not swamped in cliches; a Music that is both intelligent and atmospheric
They're so awesome and underrated! They have amazing albums like: Still Life, Heritage, Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, etc. - IronSabbathPriestV10 Comments
The most creative and inventive band ever, thanks to Hammill's talent and his brilliant mates. Maybe underrated due to its complex compositions.
"Man-Erg" Need I say more.
A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers upon your list for not hearing VDGG as the ultimate Prog rock band!V6 Comments
They started the "Art Rock" progressive movement. - JervisTetch
They're one of my favourite bands. However, there is no earthly way they can be considered progressive rock. - PetSounds
The best prog rock metal has had to offer. Ex-aequo with Opeth. Musicians made of what the Rush' guys are made.

I have stayed here before because of how cheap it is and it has decreased in quality. The bar has closed, the store is rarely open, the pool is dirty, and the mini-golf course is run down. All the numbers in the room that were provided were no longer in service and it was hard to get some late night food.
I would stay there because of the free shuttle to Disney World & back. But I would not take younger family or anyone who hasn't been to the Orlando area before. It's not a good impression of the area.

We then drove back to I-10 and headed east. We arrived in Poinciana at about 1 PM and began the arduous task of unpacking the car, taking care of a long list of tasks that had gone undone for the last month and resupplying the frig and pantry with the usual staples.
