WIFE REACTS to IQ - Zero Hour for FIRST TIME | COUPLE REACTION 

Finally, I've found someone reacting to IQ.

Been listening to IQ for about 15 years now and these guys never cease to amaze me with the music they come up with. Simply fantastic, and It's very cool that you two are doing reaction videos to so many awesome prog rock bands.thanks for the cool videos

What is REALLY sad is that so many Prog enthusiasts in the US have never heard of them. They haven’t played in the US to my knowledge in over 20 years, but they consistently put out the BEST music every 5 years or so ! Thank you for featuring them !

Been a fan of IQ since the early 80's. First gig at the Marquee in London. Never thought i'd see a reaction video - nice job :)

IQ is my absolutely favorite band. Listen to anything on EVER, but "Further Away" is what i consider to be their masterpiece! Give it a listen ... a work of art!!! I think their classic lineup of Holmes, Orford, Jowitt, Cook and Nichols produced my favorite works, but they're amazing from any point. You two are huge fun!

IQ is one of the best bands around. This track is a complete masterpiece, but not quite typical of their music. Guiding Light, the last track on the album, is also utterly wonderful.

IMHO, IQ is the finest band that’s active today !

You recommended IQ on a previous Rush reaction. I can’t believe I’ve never heard them. Wow!! Thank you so much for suggesting them. By far the best gift of the year!

I've only recently discovered your channel and I'm LOVING IT, thank you. IQ are my favourite band and this track has one of my favourite lyrics 'Found a girl who's laughter turned me round to face a brighter sun 🔆 '

I love the IQ song War Heroes, and the whole album "Are you Sitting Comfortably?" It had a different singer than most of their albums, but it was still amazing.

Never heard this band, but I loved this! Will definitely check out more...

That outro. Lordy.

Always an amazing band!

Fantastic song... I cry

Beautiful song. 🖤

One of my favourite bands, which is for me a Genesis with guitars in the front, but with a huge sound!!!!! All albums are jewels (got all of them), you are lucky to discover them. Only could seen them live one time... long ago... ENJOY !!! ;-)

WoW! 😎👍 Reminds me a bit of early Genesis (which I love). And that fretless bass sound is so rich. You're showing me stuff I've never heard and I am surprised and very pleased. ThNX & Cheers 🟥🍁🟥

I too got emotional listening to this for first time, in fact, erm, I STILL DO😢😔😊, everytime, wonderful underestimated prog band👍🎶

I LOVE IT😃

I became aware of IQ through Just JP’s reaction site. I bought The Road of Bones, and just love it. I received Resistance yesterday, and have not yet played it. I’m looking forward to hearing it for the first time tonight.

What a great band

Love IQ have most of their albums one of the best is 'Road to bones' , but please react to Marillion 'The Space' live at The Royal Albert Hall with Friends from The Orchestra - check out the words - cool message in there!!!

I so appreciate that you guys do get emotional while listening to music! Keep being true to yourself!

I'd also like to point you to Marillion and their song 'Gaza' live in concert. Amazing.

Hi guys. I strongly recommend you to listen "Sacred Sound" and Leap of Faith", both by IQ

Didn't know you'd reacted to this great band. In my top 5 with Marillion, Riverside, Steven Wilson and Big Big train.

IQ's primary influence (along with most of the 80s neo prog bands) is none other than your new favorites GENESIS! I'd love to see you react to what many consider their uniquely IQ'ish homage to Supper's Ready called 'Harvest of Souls'! Another personal favorite that I just know will touch your hearts is 'Constellations' from The Road of Bones

Nice reaction to a great band. I'd like to put forward three other UK prog bands from the same era.....Arena, Threshold and Pendragon. Also coincidentally a US prog metal band called Zero Hour

They're a really great band. Their live performances are excellent. Headlong from one of their early albums is a must at some point 👍🏻

Hi ! Little challenge for you : They made a concept album (Subterranea) which IMO is at least the same level as The Lamb from Genesis. This represents 2x 50 minutes + listening but this kind of jewel must be listened to from start to end to get the quintescence of it. Will you be able to react maybe first half then the other ? Not a lot of reaction channels will make this. For sure this represents long videos but I do think IQ fans in particular and prog die hards in general will be in heaven with this. It would be pleasant if you react to separated tunes from this album anyway, but reacting to first half as a whole then the second would be really great. hope you'll consider this some day ! Keep up with spreading good taste to the world ! Cheers from France.

you must listen to IQ - The Road of Bones

Another excellent reaction to a first class band in IQ. I feel they maybe fly under the radar globally and are not that well known? To my mind they really deserve a place in the top ten prog bands around today.... Keep it up you guys... Cheers Bob

Never heard of this band. WTF. So beautiful. I admit I'm embarrassed to say I'm ignorant about them. Thx for the introduction

Love IQ. Discovered the last years after I found out about the band Haken. Great albums by both bands. Maybe for the future: The epic song Anesthetize, live in Tilburg by Porcupine Tree.

I wasn't familiar with IQ before your reaction but when I listen to this is reminds me of a couple of the slower Eric Johnson songs of his album Ah Via Musicom. I also hear some Marillion and Spocks Beard influences. It's an interesting mix of sounds.

And the sax solo sounded very Al Stewart

Closer by IQ is a great song, as well!

First time I've ever listened to IQ. i did because you suggested to

Born Brilliant or Harvest of Souls off their cd Dark Matter are songs you should visit.

Marillion Gaza live is amazing.

I've never understood the need to immediately discuss what other bands a newly discovered band sound like. It is a given that if the new band falls within a particular genre, they are going to sound like other bands within the same genre, not because they are derivative of the other bands, but because they follow the norms of the genre. Having said that, IQ certainly tried to produce music closely related to what classic Genesis produced, and Peter Nicholls adopted stage theatrics similar to those of Peter Gabriel, performing with his face completely painted, as did Fish with Marillion in their early years. The musicians with both those bands had grown up adoring the music of Genesis and wanting to create the same sort of magic for the listener. I love the music of IQ, but would prefer to note how it differs from anything that came before it rather than dis its creativity by claiming it is derivative of what came before it. Peter Nichols voice is unique and emotionally compelling. Mike Holmes is the most overlooked great guitarist out there being ignored nowadays. Those two are the core of IQ, while the drummers, keyboardists, and bassists have changed over the years. The key to being a great band is to have great compositions, and I think most of the songs of IQ flow from the minds of Nichols and Holmes. The music of IQ is labeled "symphonic prog", and the label is very accurate. The things which set them apart from other symphonic prog bands are, in my mind, the lyrics and what I feel is some deliberate progginess in their songs which interrupt their natural flow. The lyrics are about as obtuse and poetic as you can get in a song without being named Jon Anderson. 90% of the time I have no idea what Nichols is singing about, but it sure sounds nice. In many songs the drumming seems strange to me, as if the drummer deliberately misses a beat just so you'll notice it's not there. Or the time signature changes subtly just for the sake of a change, and only for a moment. The music is so smooth overall that some of the transitions just don't work for me. The song would have been better without those prog affectations, which seem to have been shoe-horned into a very lovely song just to meet the definition of prog. These are all nit-picks, though, on my part. I love the music of IQ. My favorites include; "The Wake" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C8aKokqQDJA.html (from 1984! Nichols' singing was a bit unpolished when he started out); "The Seventh House" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wCDnQTWQ8Ls.html (A brilliant anti-war diatribe presented against the backdrop of WW I veterans; Nichols in face paint) "Guiding Light" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9uLauUUIMOU.html (How has your first love fared over the decades? What if things had been different?)

You really must react to their album Road of Bones. For me their seminal album, which is absolutely majestic

The most beautyful in this song, I think, is that the theme played by the acoustic guitar in the middle section is the same as the start of the electric guitar solo (that then improvises on that theme) at the end. I just think that works so good. BTW, other band suggestions (in the realm of IQ and Marillion) are Arena and Pendragon.

I think you'd love the Polish prog band, 'Riverside'.

Nice tune. Have heard some IQ but not this track. Thanks!

Leap of Faith? Ever?🙂
