I'm not a punk specialist:I only know the clash(quite good)and Pil.But I always feel like saying that punk
rock is rubbish because 1st of all the playing is often below average(except the Bad Brains who were a
jazz fusion outfit before),moreover this display of violence,dumbness and sometimes fascism(The Exploited,Skrewdriver....fortunately Jello Biafra keeps his eyes open).I'm not saying that all is negative
regarding this genre but when I hear a punk rock star saying that Yes lyrics are useless it makes me nervous,on the contrary concept albums like TFTOC,Close to the edge,Going for the one.....are useful
because they can give somebody good feelings,dreams,beauty,peace.Prog is really useful to me because I live in a country ruled by a far right wing friendly president who doesn't like culture,human rights or freedom.Moreover this man wants to punish the poor,unemployed,outcasts,leftists...and support
businessmen,stupid football stars or bad singers.Most prog albums or krautrock greats(Ash Ra Tempel
for example)tell me I'm true to myself and this is the most important thing.
