"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 |
Since when was progressive rock supposed to be easy?
I prefer "progressive rock," but I say prog all the time.

Prog refers to the actual music content in my mind (complexity, so on...).
Progressive Rock refers to any rock music that "takes the music to a new place or new level, hence "progressive."

Isn't it the same as Pop Rock and Popular Rock? Both are the same ain't it? Just a label anyway...

I don't care about the name. Music is more important for me.

I have chose for Progressive rock, but it doesn't bother me really. It's all the same and it goes more about the music, than about the name

Yes, moreover the use of the term "prog" or "progressive" free the genre from the obligatory "rock" counterpart -and rock has become a very vague term-.
It enables to include musics not considered as prog, like in the following sentence:
"Debussy is prog".

A lot of prog has very little in common with rock (especially the groups I tend to listen to), so I tend to opt for prog, unless I'm talking to someone with no prior prog experience.

Some "prog" music isn't rock at all...

Progressive rock and in Dutch: symfonische rock
Still, I do understand the need to abbreviate, so it's prog and progrock, and in Dutch: symfo. I do understand, it's just not very aesthetic. I have a preference for the more "epic" expressions.

Exactly, prog may or may not be symphonic, that's why when you say "symphonic", you cover only the kind of prog most popular groups produce, but far from everything.

Progressive Rock.
In Spanish, "Rock progresivo" sounds pedantic, but "Prog" sounds... like the sound of a frog.
Stupid reply for my post number 600...

No Ivan, because Progressive Rock doesn't have to Progress, it's just a name of a genre. Anglagard or Magenta didn't progressed an inch from the music that was made by the Prog' pioneers in the 70's and both are considered 100% Progressive Rock bands. |
Ah, but that's why the term 'Progressive Rock' is misleading - it gives the impression of being a descriptive term and it implies innovation and movement. 'Prog', however, is just a tag, a convenient handle without the additional baggage. Some bands genuinely do innovate and progress, many others do not. Which is why I tend to prefer to use a simple tag like 'Prog' but would be happy with a better suggestion.
