I just pulled out some of my old music, and found something I forgot I even had. Anybody else remember Bruford's Beelzebub, Sahara in the Snow? If you haven't heard it, give it a listen.

Re: Bruford
Wed, February 6, 2008 - 3:16 PMHis solo stuff before Earthworks? Good stuff. Bruford anywhere, with anyone is magic!
As a drummer, He's in my top-3!
Strangely, the list actually works out alphabetically...
Bozzio, Bruford, Collins... Call me a Prog rock junkie....
Wha?... Somebody call me?....
UK anyone? -

Re: "UK anyone?"
Tue, June 3, 2008 - 11:22 PMI have that album, too. It's *awesome*. And I mean *every* song. But my favorite song is Nevermore.

Re: Bruford
Wed, February 6, 2008 - 5:08 PMBruford's One of a Kind album w/ Holdsworth, Berlin and Stewart is one of my all time favs. His stuff w/ UK with Wetton, Jobson and Holdsworth rocks too. -

Re: Bruford
Thu, February 7, 2008 - 6:46 AMI love "Gradually Going Tornado".....some people don't like the Jeff Berlin vocals, but I think they add a wonderfully unhinged quality to the already deviant music. Plus, serious fretless bass playing, of course. -

Re: Bruford
Sat, February 9, 2008 - 3:01 PMYeah those two previously mentioned Discs are pretty much the shizzznett. I am not real crazy about his Earthworks stuff. I thought Earthworks would be a bit more "Tim Berne-esque".....a bit more avant jazz. It is pretty much just middle of the road type jazz (plenty of that to go around already......I am more into Ornette Colman and John Coltrane when it comes to jazz). I am still pretty nuts about his mid-period King Crimson work (Lark's Tongues, Starless, and Red). I must be a purist because the later KC stuff really doesn't impress me as much either (except for maybe Discipline.....and BOY, did I hear that too much). -

Carl Palmer and alan white of YES would figure as right up there-don't you think? -

Re: Bruford
Sun, February 10, 2008 - 8:06 PMOh HELL yeah.....What the hell.....How about Neil Peart (maybe that one's a little too obvious). While we're at it....Nick Mason is completely underrated as a drummer, as was Mitch Mitchell (THAT guy continues to blow my mind.....I listen to alot of Jimi at work).....then again Mitch was not exactly considered Prog. Remember Pierre Moerlin? Just about any Gong record he was on was pretty incredible as was Billy Cobham from the Mahavishnu Orchestra. -

Re: Bruford
Mon, February 11, 2008 - 10:13 AMBozzio, Bruford, Collins... are MY top 3 prog rock drummers. Just a personal preference. Certainly Alan White and Carl Palmer are up there, but maybe in the top ten. I'm more of an Alan White Fan than a Carl Palmer fan, no disrespect to CP or any body else listed.
If we were to launch a Dialog about top 10 drummers... it would include Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, and maybeLouis Belson. The tippy top of such a list would reside one Danny Carrey, and he's certainly progressive in his rock playing abilities.
So let's get back to my man Bill Bruford! -

Re: Bruford
Mon, February 11, 2008 - 11:21 AMBruford, Collins, Cobham. My Holy Trinity. Hall of Famers for me would include Stewart Copeland, Carl Palmer, Tony Williams, Vinnie Colaiuta, Carter Beauford, Dave Abruzzese, Chester Thompson & Alan White.
All of these cats are badasses. -

Re: Bruford
Sun, February 17, 2008 - 12:30 AMWhat about Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, Transatlantic, and Yellow matter custard? He's a kick-ass drummer! -
-
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Bruford
Sun, March 16, 2008 - 10:17 PMI think Portnoy is too much of a Neil Peart knock-off myself. Doesn't trigger my prog switch at all.

Re: Bruford
Mon, February 11, 2008 - 7:00 PMAn under appreciated drummer, and one of my top five, is the late B.J. Willson of Procol Harum. His work on songs like "A Salty Dog" and "Broken Barricades" are examples of using the drum kit as a lead instrument.

Re: Bruford
Tue, June 3, 2008 - 4:32 PMOh yeah, Gradually Going Tornado is a fantastic album. And you're spot on about Jeff Berlin. It took a few listenings, but now I love the interpretation. And yes, SERIOUS fretless bass. -

Re: Bruford
Tue, June 3, 2008 - 4:40 PMI have and love the album, but only the songs with vocals. I hit the "next song" button every time one of the instrumentals starts.
