Where does it live?  Moreover, I'm gonna find the big ugly blanket who coined the term progressive for any of the music we like here and kill him to. But in a nice way. Here's a fun household experiment I learned on the Disney Channel: Step one: Replace the terms "prog-" and progressive" with "kinda complex" Step two: Realize that these arguments about prog and progressive are 6 pounds of stupid in a 5 pound bag. Step three: Take up thy stethoscope and walk You have finally made me crazy, you b*****ds.  ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

I agree
but the site is dedicated to this sort of music perhaps it is a necessary evil (i hate that term btw lal) that we define it even in a cursory manner so that we may add certain bands to the site that aren't Rammstein ------------- FREEDOM OF SPEECH GO TO HELL |

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. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

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.

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?

A search in PA for "head music" reveals that a few people use the term in reviews, etc. I imagine it means to them kinda the same thing as it means to me.
Anyone care to elaborate on what the term "head music" means to you if it is a term you currently use?

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
