I guess I just don't understand what 'art rock' means. I used to use that term for bands like Bauhaus and Velvet Underground, who were simultaneously in the art world and the music world. The type of band that would be just as likely to play at a gallery as at a club.

art rock  Genre of rock that uses larger forms and more complex harmonies than other popular styles; occasionally quotes examples from classical music. Also Progressive rock.

Once upon a time (and why the need to change and be all encompassing?), in the Uk it was the name given to the music coming from Roxy Music and Be Bop Deluxe, i.e. one end of the Glam Rock brigade, hence avoiding inclusion of Mud, Gary Glitter, even Slade, etc from the other end. Indeed Queen and David Bowie (Aladdin Sane, Spiders period) were also dumped here, while Sweet were just outside. I do believe the term 'art rock' might mean different things either side of the Atlantic - I had one US correspondent swear blind he was using the term in 1966 or 7 interchangeably with 'progressive music'.

If you read the Musical papers from the early seventies - Genesis/Yes/Floyd and ELP were often described as "Art Rock" as well as Progressive Rock...It is used now as a device to separate Rush from Mainstream Prog.....

Art Rock definition has changed since the origins of Prog', in the first years as Swinto well said it was almost a synonim of Prog, but it has changed, and GEPR describes it simply but clearly:

Art Rock

The very border of progressive music in which more commercial styles of music were created at a different angle. Not quite progressive but almost.

Bands

Be Bop Deluxe, early Eno, Roxy Music, etc.

I don't think that Steve Hackett, Kansas or Rush fit here.

I really like Alan Parsons (Project)

Especially the instrumentals they've made

Interested in my reviews?

Anekdoten is even further away from that...Dark King Crimson-ish prog, not even close to commercial.

 Wouldn't want you dead. I love both these groups too. Talk Talk on the strength of their last 3 albums would get my vote. Not sure how Radiohead would fit in. Perhaps a new sub genre could be created for them and similar (actually - are there any similar??) groups

As much as I love Rush and they are my second favorite, on the Art-Rock side, I'm gonna have to go with Kansas.
