Anyone care to elaborate on what the term "head music" means to you if it is a term you currently use? |
for me.. it is ... music to get stoned to... like early Floyd.. ADII Hawkwind..

That is how I would see some other PA entries now that I have looked at a few.
It would seem the Aussie use is less chemically fuelled as a lasting definition ... but may have been when the phrase was first coined

I am not sure of the extent of the use of the term "head music" outside of Australia (and outside of the late 60's, early 70's). This has always been a nice, generic term used in Australia for music "you have to get your head into".
To my mind "head music" kinda sums up "progressive" in a sense of not being in the popular music mainstream ... music that has stepped (progressed?) outside of the norm.
Hmm, does this sound like a serious point not meant for the Just For Fun forum?  |
It was moved from the music discussion thread...

yeah, i generally agree with what your saying although being complex doesnt mean your progressive or innovative.
i'd never dream of saying to anyone that i liked 'prog-rock' cos i dont, i just like alot of the music thats reviewed on this site.

Stoney I'm with you, let's get the pitchforks and torches!
Actually I'm kind of with lappy too. It's a necessary evil, but people see it as a stringent set of characteristics instead of a nebulous umbrella-ella-ella. hey.
