Is Prog Underrated?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Like most art/genres that in one way or another falls between two stools or more it tends to have a harder time than the "purer" art forms. Its not rock, not jazz, not classical, not academic, not from the streets... so yeah I think its pretty safe to say that its underrated by many who refuse to give it an actual chance. But then again its kind of overrated by the "prog-believers" so I don't know. More than anything its misunderstood.

	The question isn't "What is Prog?" But the answer is: "Not quite everything!" (:

	^ Agree 100%. But does prog being outside of rock make it more of an art form than being part of rock? Its just your opinion, but I'm curious to see how prog is perceived by both prog and non prog fans. And I assume you're part of the former.

	Well, Prog has most definitely had moments where it definitely is rock music. However, there have also been moments where it came from left field and has had moments outside of rock music

	Is prog just the b*****d stepchild of rock or does it have a real musical pedigree in the outside world?
