Please, don't even dream in Cream


Hmmm. Hendrix is far more progressive than many bands we include on this site and as a Proto-Prog candidate I believe he stands up against the best of them. I would be perfectly happy with Cream for Proto-Prog too.

Excellent picture! (Jimi's bio picture) In the dictionary where it says sensual it should have that picture and one of his guitar solos, ha ha.

I really hated his early guitar histronics and fake sex acts, horrible! I bet he wouldn't have enjoyed being reminded of that when he was over 40.

He looked so much better when he dropped that nonsense and just stood there and delivered the goods, as in this fine pic.

Jimi is almost the definition of proto-prog. Not prog himself, but an inventor of many of the elements that are essential to prog rock as we know it.

Yes he played alot of blues too, but there was diversity in his music. His expansion of what rock could express, the colors available to the player, all were important for prog as well as other genres.
 
He's here so I suppose there's not alot to discuss.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Thasnks man, I know M@X and I'm sure he appreciates all the honest opinions even if he doesn't agree with them.
 
If something has made this site Nº 1 is the variety of opinions, if we agreed with everything, the site would be boring and already closed.

As Ib said before, no more talk about Jimmi from Me,
 
Raff has said it well, M@x has requested his addiotion and we can't say no, and as usual, once a band is added, i say nothing about them.
 
As a fact, even when i'm not convinced, Jimmi won't affect the credibilityof the site or upset me (If we were talking about the bee Gees, well, that would be different Wink), because many people consider him Proto, maybe i'm wrong, maybe not.
 
Cheers

You really can't be serious, Ivan. You don't think tracks like The Wind Cries Mary or 1983 are prog?

Ever heard of Hawkwind? I hear Jimi all over their music. I got sneaky feeling there's some sort of prejudice going on in you that anybody who has a rep of playing blues is automatically discounted.

He has the right to make his wishes known, and we should appreciate the fact that he doesn't add artists himself, but asks first. Therefore, if we can't live with the fact that he might every now and then ask for a  band or artist that we don't consider prog to be added, I'm afraid there is nothing else to be done but leave. No use in tearing each other apart, or trying to prove a point after the fact.
