most unwanted popgroups/artists on PA - Progressive Rock Music Forum

^ yes, how easily we forget that Prog ruled the world at one point, however briefly.. heck, Passion Play was #1 on the US charts for a time, does that make it a pop record? ...maybe so Shocked

I did not know PP made #1, weird. LOL

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I voted Beatles. Can't I ever escape their smug grasp? They're everywhere I go!!! I want to feel safe here at the PA.

Also, I'm quite upset that Kate Bush is on the list...and someone voted for Her!!! She is genius.

seconded. Kate is a class artist just need to listen to The Dreaming. I also think Tori Amos is 'nearly' her equal but not quite. But the Beatles are the one of the most original and forward looking bands of the 60s and noone should ever forget that

was that just an Am augmented minor 9th i heard? nice!

If Coheed and Cambria were up there I'd definetely vote for them.

But no. I picked Muse.

I know most of these bands and I agree with most posts saying that most of these bands / artists have some prog elements and as said before this is why we have the prog related sub-genre.

I devide the list to 4 parts :

1. truely prog bands like talk talk (their last 2 album are fully prog) and moody blues who actually started it all.

2. Bands or artists in the begining of the 70's who was part of the revolution in popular music and were very influencial to others like Bowie, Deep purple, Led zeppelin and even the who (which I personally appreciate less). In a way Jefferson airplane also fit here with their american folk that was quite unusual at the time.

3. Bands with very few progy moments like the beatles (A day in life) or Sypertramp (School, I find the rest of COTC quite shallow and boring).

4. The doors - I find them not prog at all.

However, their inclusion (all of them) does not ruin the site at all. The only band that it's inclusion could cause a problem is the beatles since they are so popular everywhere but if that did not happen yet it will probably never happen.

omri

There are many, many more bona fide prog acts who I like far less than anyone on this list yet, somehow, it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of this site.

Don't like a certain band? Then don't read about them, don't spitefully review their albums, don't start negative threads and polls, find something better to do with your time.

Whoever voted for Roxy Music's exclusion = your doorbell will ring and a sulfurous , sexily-clad siren will grab you by the scruff of your neck, plant a wet kiss on your nose and proceed to whip you senseless while listening to the Bogus Man on a loop ! The proggiest sex you ever had! hahahaha

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

why is she sulfurous.. gas problem?
