yep, much more popular yet still hardly household names. Tull was big in UK too, maybe not quite as big. KC and Genesis were also very big in UK even in the early days.

Fantastic! Accusing others of what you do every day, I wonder why you keep getting thrown off so many sites?

Definition of "rantings of a raving musical lunatic....." God here we go again with the jazz rock, prog, proggy, psychedelia labels that rule your posts for the past 10yrs. It's like a scab that will never heal..... I don't think you have a clue what you mean anymore......sad

Codswallop. I was alive then and prog was most popular from 1971 to 1975. It waned somewhat from 1975 to 1977 (whilst still being popular) but then fell off a cliff until 1983, when Marillion and a few other bands rejuvenated the genre to some extent.

Again - absolute bo**ocks. Pink Floyd were ALWAYS considered to be a seminal prog rock band.

Again, you obviously weren't there, and obviously have no clue what you are talking about. ELP, Jethro Tull and Yes had their greatest selling albums and their highest points on the charts from 1971-1975 -- their greatest years of popularity in the 70s, not 75-77. This is not arguable. This is unequivocal. As far as Black Sabbath, you clearly are out of your league here, junior. Everyone was listening to Paranoid, Master of Reality and Vol. 4 right along with Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Fragile, CTTE, Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery. They were also listening to Deep Purple because Rainbow wasn't a band yet. You are wrong. Everyone else is right. And you are Svetonio about to banned again as eventually as you were the last ten times. |

I must admit, Boboulo's views seem a bit delusional to me. Perhaps history of prog is different where he comes from.

You know what is funny is that I can't exactly remember us calling it Progressive Rock... i think we were just fans of Progressive music... anything that was different to the norm. And yes Black Sabbath was also part of the must have collection. Wow adding Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath does give the big 6 question a totally different outlook :).... just missing Tommy from the Who... regards. Rainbow only took shape after Richie Blackmore left DP.

It was a history I was alive through and very much part of. So, unlike you, I know EXACTLY what happened and when. How old are you, by the way?

You know what is funny is that I can't exactly remember us calling it Progressive Rock Correct. In the late 60s/early 70s, it was just "prog" or "progressive music".

RTF is a decent start, though I believe that's still all dudes. Does anyone know some good female artists or other artists from non-european cultures which could round out the list?

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Here is what Phil Shulman wrote when asked about why they were not more popular in England: The fact is in Europe we were very popular as well but you have to remember there was something else holding us back here (England) my brothers and I were very much remembered as what was called a POP group (S.Dupree) and its very hard to discard those old clothes and people were very suspect of the fact that we would get pissed off at what we were it changed things radically.

It's him....He did the same thing over at Hoffman Forums in the music section on a prog thread, trying to spread his delusional theories about music. Ask him to give you his thoughts on Dream Theater.......basically called them the greatest prog band ever. Then u get sucked into his diatribe about what is prog and progressive and proggy and psych and symphonic and what bands fit where and since they don't fit in one they can't be another. I don't think he is trolling....YET. But it will happen, for now he exists for my comedic relief, so hope the admins leave him be.

Ok, I stand corrected then. Why not just have him locked in a room and have him listen to Justin Beiber and Brittany Spears songs for a few hours?
