More accurately: Art Rock was split it into Heavy, Crossover, Ecletic, Prog-Related and "Not Needed on the Voyage". Proto Prog was never "Art Rock"
 
As far as I can remember: Proto-Prog and Prog Related were already there before Art Rock was split up. Art Rock was divided into Heavy, Crossover and Eclectic Prog.
Long before that Prog Related was split out from Art Rock if my memory serves me correctly. It's been mentioned before and it will take me forever to find the relevant quotes. Proto Prog was never part of "Art Rock" but Prog Related was.
 
I tend to remember it as someone else does.... Proto and Related existed before the spilt of Art Rock
 
But does it matter nowadays???

One person's opinion.  The following sub-genres should be axed; or made into sub-sub-genres.  I foresee the following:

RIO/Avant-Prog - Rename Avant ProgRIO is a sub-sub-genre.
Krautrock - Merge mostly into Psychedelic/Space Rock; maybe some Avant Prog.
Rock Progressivo Italiano - Merge mostly into Symphonic Prog.
Zeuhl - Merge mostly into Avant Prog.
Canterbury Scene - Split out as appropriate!  This was never really a genre.  As the name indicates, it was a "scene".
Indo-Prog/Raga Rock - Prog Folk?  I have no idea...
Neo-Prog - Merge into Symphonic Prog and some Crossover Prog.

Interestingly enough I think having the three metal groups split as they are is appropriate.

 
This is an interestting idea (one that I'd advocate, along with less restrictive genre definitions/descriptions in order to be more inclusive), but this would upset greatly some private property owners, who would have to share their gardened fences... Sadly (very sadly), that's a no-no for many!!

Of course they existed before the split, but that's not what I said.
 
Before November 2005 many of the artists that were in Prog Related after that date (Peter Gabriel, 801, Alan Parsons, etc.) were in Art Rock.... in essence Prog Related was created from Art Rock.
 
However, it does not matter at all.

To complement what Dean rightly said:

- In the early days of Prog, Art Rock was just another name top call the genre.

- Before  Prog Related was created Art Rock was the equivalent to Prog Related, and as a fact it was like that everywhere

- Then we made Art Rock Change on august 30, 2006, with this definition:

Quote ART ROCK

Not a sub-genre “per se”, more a category; being that bands included in Art Rock may have very few things in common other than the fact that they are all 100% Progressive Rock. 


The term Art Rock has evolved from being a synonym of Progressive Rock in the early 70's to being considered the borderline between Progressive Rock and mainstream in the 90's. However, the term changed again with the new century and these are the characteristics of the bands that will be included in this category:

 

  1. 100% Prog bands
  2. Bands that are beyond the limits of the sub-genre parameters or
  3. Bands that have evolved through their career so much that they crossed different sub-genres without any single sub-genre being preeminent over the rest or
  4. Bands that have characteristics of two or more different sub-genres and can’t be reasonably classified in either or
  5. Bands that simply are one of a kind and for that reason can’t be included as part of any sub-genre.


The main difference with Prog-Related is that in this second category the bands included are not career Prog bands or are simply non Prog bands that have influenced or been influenced by the genre.


Prog Archives accepts that it’s a very generic category but we believe it is necessary to avoid creating an endless number of sub-genres for each eclectic band that appears.


Iván Melgar Morey - Perú

- When Micky and Raff left the Symphonic Team, they took care of Art Rock and being that the genre was incredibly big, they asked to split it into
  • Crossover
  • Heavy Prog
  • Eclectic
That's the story of Art Rock in PA till now, and i hope we don't resurrect it, because it was always ambiguous.

Iván

Please Ancient Tree

Proto Prog and Prog Related  are not, never were and will never be part of Art Rock.

I believe this is clear enough Smile
