They'll be saying that Opeth is not Country and Western next. |

Hey Andy.
Now if Pink Floyd covered an Opeth song, THAT would be worth writing about. |

to the rest of the world I have little doubt Floyd are not considered Prog when compared to the Tulls, Yes's and ELP's.. Floyd saw huge popularity not just with the DSotM period but also with the Wall which was one of the musical events in the early 80s capped off by the film (an enormous draw for the midnight crowds all through the first half of the 80s), people liked these records not because they were Prog but because they were, well, Pink Floyd, a total original and a band that knew how to produce their music and sell their drama.. I don't know of any prog band that saw their level of hugeness, even at ELP's or Yes's peak.. sure Floyd were a progressive rock band but they flourished because they were liberated from "Prog", not a part of it

As it oftentimes happens, I guess PF was deemed prog AFTER the fact, wasn't it? Were people calling PF "prog" when prog bands were still in their prime? Or is it an after-the-fact thing the "prog" labeling of PF?

I like the reference in the comments when someone says that his way of seeing thing is that way:
He hates prog, like pink floyd, pink floyd is prog Punk killed prog, Genesis survived punk, Genesis is not prog! I could easily bring that argument agains't Progarchives like that: A member likes Iron Maiden, he likes prog thou..., Iron maiden is prog or Prog related when in fact it's only metal! This goes both way, it's not because a prog fan likes something else then prog that he NECESSIRALY NEED to make sure that what's he like his prog related in someway!!! Completly ridiculous!! |

Not so. I was around in the 70's. By 1977 or so, the term "progressive rock" was being widely used.

That's still after the peak of many of the founding giants. So just slightly after-the-fact, then...

Rubbish discussion. I've just finished listening to Meddle. If Floyds are not prog, we should remove from the site artists like Mostly Autumn, Tangerine Dream, Camel, Marillion, Caravan, Soft Machine, Eloy, Vangelis (very different people) that have been more or less influenced by the Floyds during different periods. |

Well, most people don't get things in general, so I'm not surprised this clown is any different...
Plus most folks' only goal is to be accepted by the masses, therfore they get "progphobia", to fit in - nothing's new under the sun... Edited by XunknownX - October 14 2008 at 18:53 |

Most people are much more accepting of interesting and progressive music than many people here would have you believe--dare I utter the p word?

'Pink Floyd not prog'???

- if not Bach, then inspired by some other Baroque composer, in much the same way as Procol Harum's White Shade of Pale was inspired by Bach's Air On A G-String. Due to Wright's keyboard arrangements (and, I would argue, Mason's anti-rock drumming, which at times borders on concert percussion), many of Floyd's pieces have symphonic elements, in an eclectic sense rather than a Symphonic Prog sense.
