Well, Sgt. Pepper just reached #1 again in sales, 50 years after its release. So you could certainly say it is progressing.

I'm not a massive Beatles fan, though, for me, it boils down to the 'Prog' vs. 'Progressive' rally.
I do think Sgt. Pepper's is a progressive album - the band surely were 'forward thinking' and experimental in terms of what was 'going down' at the time.........AND popular.......BUT........... ............I don't get all the adulation and praise they receive as to 'the best band that ever lived'....... |

Whether or not threads go on for awhile depends on the quality of the topic and the posts by the members.....and this is not a negative comment on PA at all just an observation. There are many threads here I simply don't find all that interesting....and again this is not meant as a slam on PA....it just is what it is.

It's been a chore for several months......Find another site to enjoy and maybe in the meantime this one will get fixed. What this site has been lacking the past several years is more members, that feeds spirited conversations and threads that take a life of their own. Seems here they die after 2-3 pages.......There are sites where threads can go on for pages and pages, within a day you are looking at 4-5 pages. For me what this does is keeps me engaged in a thread, cause if you leave it you will need to read a ton of pages to catch up. I can leave a thread here and come back couple days later and maybe see 4-5 new posts, not too engaging....Or maybe that says something about prog music, dunno. Also, the thread answer is still NO!

Precisely what I’ve been wondering. It’s getting to the point where posting here is a chore instead of something I enjoy. Is there a way to contact the owner of the forum or whoever designed it and request them to do away with this Captcha crap?

Regardless on personal tastes that comment is as logical as it gets when it comes to historical context: if I hate it, it doesn't exist

I didn’t forget, but I choose to not acknowledge Absolutely Free because it’s Zappa and I do a good job of ignoring what he’s done anyway.

Everybody conveniently chooses to forget Zappa's "Absolutely Free" album (an all time favorite of mine), which came out the SAME year as Sgt Pepper and is actually COMPOSITIONALLY COMPLEX, TECHNICALLY DEMANDING, STRUCTURALLY progressive, EVERYTHING....but there's lots of political satire.

The East Village was indeed very cool at the time, but I was more exposed to the folk thing and coffee houses at the time.

It seems like yesterday I was hanging on St marks place, smelling patchouli wafting from the head shops. Those were exciting times and the Beatles were definitely a big part of it.

I believe that having some first hand experience gives one a leg up on a subject, as the best that those who weren't present can do is claim that those who were there remember events incorrectly. Those not present also fail at understanding the underlying subtitles of the subject.
