Yeah I know that, duh. However Textbook was talking about the difference between rock and pop, so when you replied him it looked like you were acknowledging that context, not the sociological one.  Smile

Wasn't prog popular in its heydays ? Genesis, Yes, ELP, KC all charted back in the seventies. To some extent, you could say that prog rock (not sure the term was used in the seventies), was popular music then.

And I would agree with you. I believe there was even an issue of Melody Maker calling Yes ''The people's band!''. And some Prog is still popular today (Radiohead, Tool, The Mars Volta, Peter Gabriel). But if we are gonna talk about Pop the musical style, I would say the closest thing to 'Prog-Pop' we may have here is Crossover. Since a lot of Xover bands have heavy Pop undertones, it makes the most sense that some of those groups would appeal to the mainstream. 

In other words, I'm saying we don't need a 'Prog-Pop' section on the site. Xover is good enough.

Art-pop is often used to describe pop bands/artists with some progressive leanings (Kate Bush, Dalbello, 10 CC, Peter Gabriel, Tori Amos, David Bowie, late Beatles, Barclay James Harvest, Björk).

I don't know much about Gorillaz, besides the excellent music videos I've seen.

Here's our Crossover Prog band byron doing a great cover of Gorillaz' Feel Good Inc. in their early days:



And here's a Prince cover while we're at it: http://www.trilulilu.ro/transp/6473977e90779c

Thing I like about Albarn, and you can see it both in Gorillaz and his label Honest Jon's, is that he has no regard for genre. If he likes it, in it goes.
