 Topic: yes=hard rock
Posted: May 26 2006 at 15:38 |
Speaking of Yes, They are not mentioned on a promo for the Midnight Special shows done in the 70's, early 80's.
Eddie Money is, Olivia Newton John is, AC/Dc is, Ted Nugent is, Jim Croce is etc.
Heck, if Floyd or Tull had played (maybe they did) they would have been ignored as well.

There's little difference between hard rock and cheese rock. But it is clear where this album stands.......camenbert.
still.......good album.

If I recall, the opening riff to Owner of a Lonely Heart is about the only think on that album that IS Hard Rock.

"Yes" to Hard Rock - "no" to Prog Rock. Or at least that's what VH1 says...

Any one was expecting Metallica wins it, hehehe. Next time as they've won the Grammy, Lars Ulrich said: "Thanks to Jethro Tull not releasing an album this year". One of the greatest moments in music-television.

I guess they're using "hard rock" as a generic term to encompass everything that isn't pop. Shows that they know!

A wild guess: VH1 is a video channel, I'd say they base this on the opening guitar riff on "Owner Of A Lonely Heart".
I see their point. If you think about it because...
OK, I'm joking, just another media outlet trying to make a list to please viewers/readers and just showing how out of touch they really are.

Well the mainstream media uses that term for most things in the 70's. ELP, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson...
Its easier than saying Prog-rock I guess...

They wouldn't dare do something like that. Uttering such a phrase would bring certain terror upon their establishment.

the reason yes are there is because the list supposedly culls bands from the hard rock, metal, punk, and classic rock (if that's even a genre) labels.
Yes are sometimes labeled as a Classic Rock band. hence the reason they are there.

Of course, my favorite mislabeling of a prog band was when Jethro Tull got a Grammy for "Best Heavy Metal Album."

Fire up the flux capacitor ! We're taking this Delorean through all four dimensions.
What is the future of prog ? Genesis reunion ? I'm not telling!That could upset the thyme/space continuum.
