So the Clash saved the rock'n'roul soul of an old progger? :)
Sweet.
And yeah, that "London Calling" album is amazing, ain't it?

O.K. how about this
Punk didn't kill prog. Prog had hit a peak, and was becoming a niche genre, with exceptions like Pink Floyd, Rush, Genesis, Yes, Supertramp, Kansas and Tull. Europeen proggers still kept putting out albums. But the commercial heyday was past as of 1976. Punk jumped on the front pages of the rock media because it was new. It presented something very different from much of what was out there - prog, metal, southern rock, singer-songwriter, country rock. You name it, it was just different. Punk did not however, "kill" any genre or sub-genre. It simply came to occupy its' own space in the musical spectrum.
Indeed, before the 70s were over, new wave had replaced punk as the "cool" music of youth. Soon thereafter, hard rock /heavy metal would enjoy another resurgence (AC/DC, Dio's Sabbath, NWOBHM), the Romantic scene would come about (Duran Duran et al), synth pop,Neo Prog, the American metal and then sleaze / hair metal scene, the 80s dance pop and other sugary music configurations (New Kids on the BLock). Then finally, at the end of the 80s brought about another wave of metal, that morphed into grunge that killed hair metal, brought about pop punk, then boy bands, more prog groups emerging from coutnries outside of the UK, US, Europe, p'o'd chick singers (Alanis) , along with the Spice Girls and then the teen & tween scene.
SO prog is still alive. SO it couldn't have been killed. Punk finally broke in the states when Nirvana hit platinum. Metal keeps re-inventing itself with traditional forms morphing into more extreme versions. Prog has done so in its' own way (Neo, Retro, basically the stew comprised of all that has come before). Most lasting genres have done the same (country with alt-country or No Depression, contemporary country; punk with pop punk to the various *****core sub-genres; even disco with trance/jungle/dance/bass & drum).
So if there remains any recorded material of a musical style (say sousa military marches) that someone out there is still listening too, the music is still alive.
So, ipso fact, prog is still alive. And never died. Ditto for Disco ... unfortunately ... but that's just for me. SOme enjoy it.

Computers. New Wave, and the smarter Prog bands going with it; i.e. Peter Gabriel, Rush, and a handful of others.

Your reply is a perfect example of:
1. Dodging the question.
2. Comparing apples & oranges
3. Not seeing the forest for the trees.
1. You failed to explain why Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull and other prog bands wore these outfits if they were not important in some way. The clothing did not just appear on their bodies. They invested time and money into these outfits (or "costumes"), and yet you argue that they were not important.
2. You are comparing performers with fans, thinking you are proving your point, when you really are just underscoring one of the main differences between prog and punk: that to be a rock performer, you did not need to wear some ridiculous outfit on stage, you could wear the same clothes that you wore on the street. This is a VERY important point, which you fail to grasp. It's not that fashion was important to punk and not to prog. Fashion & style were an important part of both prog and punk. The difference was that the barrier between fan and performer was erased. It was a democratization of style and fashion. It's kind of like going from a system of nobility to a republic. Before punk, the "high style" of prog was worn by the nobles (the performers). With punk, the style was worn by everyone.
As a matter of fact, I am dressed very much like a Ramone right now, sitting here in my office in NYC. I'm wearing a black t-shirt, jeans and Converse sneakers. Not a cape and tights. And there are many more people here in this office dressed similar to me. We could strap on guitars and go play at a club right now. We don't need to "dress up" or wear "costumes". That was one of the points of punk.
If you can't grasp that, well....you can't see the forest for the trees. |
Had a long reply, but deleted it, it0's not worth, you're changing totally the subject, but who cares:
1.- You said there was a Prog fashion: I proved you were wrong, not even the musicians, some of them used COSTUMES like Peter Gabriel (Only after September 28, 1972, because he dressed as in the street before, and created the Fox in red dress costume as publicity), maybe Yes, Jethrro Tull etc, but many other bands like Pink Floyd, Kansas, King Crimson, VDGG, Triumvirat, Banco, etc dressed as anybody else, they didn't required nothing special.
2.- The fact that in Punk, the philosophy and fashion was as important as the music is undeniable, there was a Punk philosophy, a Punk fashion (Yes, fashion is what people use in the street, what people use on stage is PERFORMING CLOTHES, like a clown in a circus doesn't creat a fashion of a red nose).
The rest of your arguments are simply trying to distract things from the point Stonebeard and myself were talking, you have evaded the point, so in my case I will end it here.
BTW: I can't see the tree because you're creating a forest to hide how you changed subjects.

ROTFLMAO!!
I love your synopsis. Very very funny.
And I absolutely agree with you on many of your points.
1. The recent success of bands like Green Day, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, AFI, etc etc etc, proves that punk music is not "underground" by any means. Now, as a fan of old-school punk like the Clash, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Buzzcocks, etc, I don't particularly care for these newer bands, but they're clearly modelled on those earlier bands.
2. The continued money-making tours of bands like Genesis and Yes prove that prog fans are still alive, and the neo-prog bands prove that there are still prog artists. So prog (the fans and the artists) was not literally "killed" by punk. It was a metaphor. What a lot of us were saying was that the advent of punk and new wave dealt a serious blow to prog and sent it reeling. Many of us believe it's never fully recovered, even to this day.

I must admit that Punk killed prog is quite a myth.It would be more fitting to say that prog was "bankable"
from 1970 to 1973 nothing more(the famous Vertigo label had little means).After major companies left prog music and it's true that some musicians gave credit to it releasing self indulgent records(Tangerine Dream's Phaedra or Amon Duul 2's Made in Germany) and all of you remember or know that Pink Floyd and Yes began making mainstream stuff by the end of the seventies to get larger audiences(such a crime).But I can give various examples of rock critics far from being earnest regarding prog:Yves Adrien was a big Magma fan(former Rock'n Folk journalist)in the beginning of the seventies,praising them anytime but when punk came to the fore he began to blow their music away,saying it was sh*t.I also remembered Robert Fripp saying in an interview(summer 2000) that from 1975 to 1992 NME men didn't care about KC music.As I often say,some rock critics are bad musicians who like fame too much but Prog is not dead(and must stay smart,complex and smashing)!

Every time I see a picture of Peter Gabriel I think to myself "MAN!,

and then it moves onto "THIS is what prog is about" and then it moves to "how could something as bad as punk rock kill something as good as this?", finally concluded by "god, punk sucks, peoples taste in music disgusts me".

^A masterpiece of an reply 
Damn I still don't get why some people are devoting 30923 pages to basically say "we like punk and prog is dead".... Now punk killed prog? Again, this website is full of necrophiliacs then... How morbid we are... we not only see dead people.. we love dead music!.... And then we criticize ourselves for liking it!!!! And of course, those close-minded musical bogots that think is actually PUNK the one's that dead... oh... how close minded....
I, for one, I'm happy with my very much alive prog... and happy with the fact that the only punk that you can buy in mainstream stores is emo-pop-punk, as opposed to prog which you can still find, at least bands like TMV or The Flower Kings or Spock's Beard... now when a major retail chain carries one but not the other, it basically tells you: commercially, one is DEAD, the other one may not be next to Mariah Carey in sales but there are still people that buy it that don't have to come from the deepest undergrounds in London....
And if punk is alive in the underground, good for those who love it! But please, either declare yourself a lover of dead creatures or recognize that prog is so alive that commercially succesful bands start to make "proggier" music (read: Coheed and Cambria, for example)...
Damn, even MTV emo-punk bands are trying to "wise up" their music like Panic at the Disco! (which I don't like by the way) whose latest album is halfway Sgt. pepperi-ish or My Chemical Romance whose latest album is a mix of queen and pink floyd....
Who is the dead one here?

Prog was born wider, accepted blending of cultures, influences, Punk was born more restrictive, even from their Garage - MOD roots, or you were MOD or you were against them, you even had to dress like them.
There was a fashion, a philosophy around Punk, something that really wasn't as important in Prog, in the 80's you saw a hard punk and you could identify him, something that didn't happened in Prog, not even in the 70's.
But this is secondary in the thread Stonebeard, I believe the stylistic identity was lost, but that's my pont of view.
