But the idea is OK, if a genre so big was too hard to manage, then it's better to split it.

Actually, as I noticed, the definition of Crossover Prog was initially thrown in place of Prog Related. By mistake, I assume. Wink
BTW, doesn't the word "crossover" mean the same as "eclectic"? Confused

I understand the Moody Blues and Radiohead in crossover prog, but I don't know if I agree with the Tangent being in there. They don't seem very "mainstream-influenced" (except for "The Sun in my Eyes.") No one I have ever talked to in real life has ever even heard of The Tangent. It's very difficult for me to agree with that move, but overall it is a change for the better.

Perhaps all the bands have not yet been changed to their final spots, so I will not complain, for now.
Prog... It's good.

generally I think this is a good idea, I always felt uncomfortable with King Crimson and VdGG being listed under "Symphonic Prog"

dang. BaldJean be me to it; I'm fine with the new changes, as long as the bands mentioned in the subgenre's summary are actually in the subgenre....
 
obvious mistake, and I'm sure the Art Rock guys are still getting it sorted outWink

another mistake: "High Tide" in "Crossover Prog"? have you ever heard them? they are the prime example for "heavy prog"

In case you missed my earlier post, Jean, I said
 
All art rock bands are still listed as Crossover at this time, aren't they? Eclectic and Heavy are completely empty right now, just let the fellas do their thing.

Gentle Giant is mentioned as an example in the Eclectic Prog definition whilst they're in Crossover Prog at the moment. It looks like all the bands that previously were in Art Rock are now in Crossover Prog. Obviously the transformation isn't complete.
Patience people... Smile

Please, leave the guys from the team work, they have only given the first step, this is a work for months, I know how hard it is, leave the particular cases for the end,
 
Now lets focus ins the general fine tunning, they still have to check each and every band as they been doing very proffesionally, so if a band is bad labeled, that will be corrected when the time comes and al the structure is ready.
 
If we start asking Hey X doesn't belong he re but there, wer're not helping them, still there is work to be done with the structure.

So how about a simplified explanation for my humble IQ?

ECLECTIC PROG - good old messy bands like CRIMSON and GENTLE GIANT.
CROSSOVER PROG - easy listening prog (but not prog related)

So let's say, Pavlov's Dog dog are crossover, and Wishbone Ash, slight less prog are on the other side of the line and they remain prog related. Right?

And heavy prog is Tangerine Dream I guess...that damn equipment must've been very heavyWink

I just wanted to explain the difference between "crossover" and "eclectic", since someone had mentioned they were the same

As I said:

Yea guys I seriously doubt the people working on the changes are even listening to your opinion on which band belongs in which subgenre right now.

"heavy prog" would be bands like High Tide or Uriah Heep

However, I'm very glad because of that category..for the sake of Uriah Heep, Birth Control and many others!!

Not only was this thread thuroughly confusing, but it's also added more to argue about. As you can see above.
 
I hope those in charge figure out what to set in stone though - goodluck.

Yup. So do the people who work on the subgenres, since there already is a Prog Metal subgenre. If you meant "I think prog metal should be subdivided like Art Rock," then I agree.
