that the Russians built the first synth in 1934.

LOL! You're so funny. Well, there would hardly be the electric guitar if there wasn't Nikola Tesla who was born as an ethnic Serb [Russians and Serbs are the same people genetically] in the family of an Eastern Orthodox priest, forget the synth.

You can find the answer in the book by Svetonio Boboulo titled An Alternate History Of Everything.

Numbers don't lie. 70 members voted yes compared to 14 members who voted no. That settles the debate until the question is posted again, two months from now.

Fixed.

Overall I do think Pink Floyd were making progressive rock music, although in late 60s early 70s they called it psychedelic pop music, "prog" or "progressive" label was not being used that early on.

I'm afraid that "progressive" label was being used that early on. This Decca's V/A LP has been released in 1969:

You seemed to have quoted my click bait........Your deformed vision of progressive music has caught up to you. Since you claim that the term was in use before the late 60s, then by default early Pink Floyd is progressive music/rock music, psychedelic music in how Pink Floyd played it is under the progressive umbrella.

This picture you have used on other music sites.........Find something else.

Jose, please post this early 70s album in all the Svetonio/Boboulo posts in the other threads. Pictures and drawings are the only thing he will understand.

And no, I don't consider Rush to be prog either.

Rush is much more prog than Floyd.

Nonsense. Rush never did anything that wasn't done previously, nothing groundbreaking, nothing new or innovative.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

This is why people make fun of boomers. "rUsH nEvEr DiD aNyThInG tHaT wAsN't AlReAdY dOne bEfoRe," really? I hate this small group of armchair contrarians, likely hunched over their desk with cheeto dust all over their fingers just terrorizing YouTube comment sections and forums about how all music past the year 1976 is crap as they turn on Close to the Edge for the 100,000th time.

Although to be honest, post 1976 music has far more innovative things on offer than Rush. Tongue

(Another site on which I am has a "run away quickly" smiley, I'd have liked that here...)

No, Pink Floyd isn't prog because prog doesn't exist. We can close down the site now, thank God.

...seriously, threads like this make me want to find out where the servers are and go there with a crate of dynamite myself.

Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to.

Look, little boy, I realize 12 year olds have relatively little experience, but when you can't refute what I said with anything but cute little meme-worthy jargon like the asinine "you guys are all so cringe", I suggest that your mother send you to time-out away from her PC.

The previous poster stated Rush was "more prog" than Pink Floyd and I pointed out there is nothing progressive, revolutionary or earth-shattering to Rush's music. If anything, it is a reiteration of elements already provided. If you can't provide anything to refute it, shut the f*ck up.

No offence, but why don't you prove your own point before lecturing others on the art of refuting?
