You'd be kicked of the site sooner than that for blasphemy...AngryWinkLOL

More on topic: just checked the article and the reactions on the Guardian site. I did recognize a few quotes that were also posted here, as well as a few familiar names. Looks like we have some defenders out there...

Well, I understand the point: that great bands are often labeled quickly and hastily, without much regard for the music...but, the author clearly doesn't understand enough about prog to really write this article.  "Prog-rock pit falls"?  What a joke!

Well, even David Gilmour doesn't consider Pink Floyd to be prog.

Huh? His "speech" is quite controversial, in the way that he says one thing and then denies it in a subtle way or maybe not..

that was a rather painful read because it was stupid. ;P I wonder what the songs Atom Heart Mother and Echoes are, if not prog.

summary for those too lazy:

1.  I love Pink Floyd
2.  I hate most other "prog"
3.  Therefore, Pink Floyd cannot and are not prog.

Some stupid hack on the Guardian website has deemed it necessary to attack our beloved prog all over again:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2008/oct/08/pink.floyd.not.prog.rock

He obviously doesn't have a clue what wonderful music falls under the prog umbrella! As usual, the best thing about this silly article are the reactions from those who come to prog's defense - including yours truly.

Rock on.

ADMIN EDIT: made reference into a real link.
