Spaghetti Prog? Yes!!!Thumbs Up I want a new tag under my name... "Spaghetti Prog Specialist"... Wouldn't it sound great? Wink BTW, we have so many different pasta varieties in Italy, it's unfair we always get stuck with the "spaghetti" tag.

Seriously, though, I think Kansas have the right to be in the Symphonic Prog section. True, in the '80s they made some albums that can be defined as AOR - but then, Genesis mostly made pop albums in that same decade, and no one is suggesting we throw them out of Symph! As to the American influence, I endorse 100% what my fellow team members have written so far. Or are local, "ethnic" influences only acceptable for European bands?

I should be given a title 'Progressive Jizz Rock Fan / Gay Metal Speciallist'.
 
Not really!

In my opinion, negative prog is:
Operation Mindcrime II (Queensryche)
Tormato (Yes)
Holidays in Eden (Marillion)
and a few others I don't even want to remember because I probably had to take the time to toss them out the window. Sorry fans of these albums.

Well, even though it is not a so bad album (2 1/2 stars), OSI's "Free" album was a deception for me.

Bad Prog??? NO WAY!! ...I'm enjoying RUSH and that was an impossible a month agoWink

While I wholeheartedly agree with you that "Free" is a deception, I was wondering, if you rate "deception" with 2 and a half stars, what would be 1 star in your rating system - "rape", "murder" or what ???

Same here! AOR-ish band just plain suck, and Symphony X is incredibley formulaic.

I don't think that there are necessarily bad bands but bad albums. I really hate many modern yes, genesis, crimson, and such. I like Kansas although it always sounded me as if Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad was singing there. In fact all american singers seem to have the same voice as Farner. Nonetheless there are good american bands like Echolyn. American bands I dislike are Starcastle, Cathedral (the old one) and some long Spock Beard songs. Styx is also very uneven.
