   It used to be called "progressive" initially. Since language lazynness is a global trend, it logically was reduced to "prog". The next step is no word at all. Better produce progressive CDs with a dedicated smell then

	I really don't care wheter it's called "Progressive Rock" or "Prog", but the shorter version is more convenient to use, while the longer one tells more about the music itself.
	You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice

	I chose other. But instead of having some new crazy idea, it's more like they're exactly equal in my mind. It's true that "progressive rock" has a possibly more persuasive or elegant tone, but prog is easy to say, which is the point. It's an abbreviation. Do you dislike abbreviations or something? :P

	The name prog is something I put up with , personally I much prefer it to be called Progressive Rock , to me Prog sounds unattractive and subdued, where as Progressive Rock has a more descriptive meaning about it and suggests a bigger impression , what do you think ? do you prefer to call this genre Prog or Progressive Rock or maybe something else?
