Prog movements? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

oh man.... you are on the fast track to collab-ville hahahhahahahha

great post.. and other do think that way as well

The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip

As an idea I have been often pondering (it's weird how much I can think about this site during everyday life...), the site could have as a parallel addition to the sub-genres: geographical movement categories.
Example of the sort of movement I'm talking about would be the early 90's Swedish prog movement, with bands like Anglagard, Anekdoten, Paatos etc., or the Japanese Zeuhl movement with Koenjihyakkei, Ruins, Bondage Fruit, etc., or even Krautrock and Canterbury would sit more comfortably in such a category.
There would be a link or button that you could click on so that an alternate menu to the sub-genres could come up that would have all the different prog movements listed, all the bands would have a listing in sub-genre as well as a different listing in movement.
This way it would be easy to find bands that are similar (I know that this is paradoxical within a prog website

) without having to add any more sub-genres to the already cluttering sub-genres menu of the site. It could even potentially clean up the sub-genres a little...

I know that I'd be very interested and greatful to have such information from the prog-experts here on geographical prog movements, something that I think is all too often overlooked and could possibly even unlock different groups of fans, instead of the hoards of sympho maniacs, we could have new fans who particularily appreciate a movement such as the 'early 90's Swedish prog movement' (with a snappy name perhaps?).

Maybe (though getting more complicated) there could even be a sort of search engine where you could select from different search menus (in the style as the message writing menus like 'font' and 'size' - the little tab menus), geographical area, sub-genre, era, and so on.

I believe movements to be very important, importance mirroring that of the sub-genres.

	The main Italian prog expert of the site is heading this way... Even though he's not Italian at all!
