Let me in because prog is pretty OK.
If you don't then I'll call up my buddy R. Fripp and he'll guitar you into submission.

@Alex:
I believe you could easily teach at least an intro course and I'd sign up for it.

@Textbook:
I'm surprised at how good of a section 1:34-1:47 of CttE is at being a section (if that made sense).

I'd be up for it.

And LOL

at your application.

If this actually takes place on a sub-forum (rather, a forum of its own, but reporting back within the confines of a thread here to keep it organized and accessible), who will make the forum? Or will it be set up entirely on PA?

There's quite a bit of organizational crap to sort through in order for this to work; but it could work, and it would be awesome if successfully implemented.

PROG 535 - Seminar in Genre Nomenclature

Course Description: Learn how the best genres are just made the f**k up. Topics include, eclectic prog, crossover prog, Canterbury, and heavy prog. Students will research rock movements in depth, and with regard to history and cultural interaction of various national rock bands and arbitrarily draw lines that will forever stereotype the bands in eyes of future progressive rock fans.

If we can get one of the admins around here to make a sub-forum, that would be ideal. If not, someone will have to create the forum. I have no problem doing this unless someone else really wants to.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

LOL, Well said.

My nomination is an elective, you get to choose one of two classes:

Symphonic Prog 315a: Why Phil Collins Ruined Genesis

Or

Symphonic Prog 315b: How Phil Collins Saved Genesis

Strangely enough both would be taught by a professor only known as Rael who has a tendency to teach in costume.

-------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob-------

I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms.

Your have been accepted to PRU, not because of your knowledge in prog not because I think Mr. Fripp will pull through with guitaring me into submission, but because he'll find some way to pull me into a lawsuit or something.

As the one who probably knows my taste best around here, am I fit?
