 Topic: pop v. prog
Posted: February 17 2006 at 14:12 |
In a recent courtroom battle involvng members of the
musical elite, it was decided that progressive rock and pop should no
longer be considered music. The judge, the honorable Seymour B.
Keanney, layed down his ruling in a landmark decision based on the fact
that too many people listen to pop for it to be considered music and
not enough people listen to prog for it to be considered music.
Critics of this decision argued that this is just a "don't ask,
don't tell" solution to a problem that has extremely important
cultural ramifications. But proponents of the decision were
relieved stating that this puts to rest any argument that we actually
ever gave a damn.

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

In the early 70 progressive was often called "pop music".

Prog rock has been elevated from just mere music to more of an art form of music.
Right?

How can anybody decide if something is music depending on how many who listens to it? If the people working at factories is a right amount of people. Do the noise they have to "listen" to everyday count as music?
Did I fully understand the article?
