Some people will always want the world to bend to their own contrary view instead of them yielding to the world's view. They must travel through life with much difficulty, I surmise.

Right? It must be exhausting holding your limited views, and genuinely thinking they're rational and complete, then acting superior to strangers on a music website as a result!

Pink Floyd is prog rock.

Voted no. Pink Floyd were a Psychedelic rock band that, in their long career, have touched other genres as well, from Experimental music at "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" via Heavy Rock at "The Nile Song" to Progressive rock at "Money".

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

Svetonio/boboulo, you have used this one off example, for years, in order to backup your claim that the genre of prog rock was established in the 60s. Please supply an academic statement to backup your contention for the origin of the term prog rock that you and only you constantly argue. Perhaps Franetic Zetetic can help you as he is similiar in mentality and reasoning to you

Pink Floyd is prog rock.
Correct!
Just like all the other people who spend their entire time here commenting on the same thing every day on the American Politics thread, complaining about Trump, snubbing people who have different view to theirs and apparently forgetting that this is a music site not the "I hate the White House" website.

^This proves my point. Agree about Boboulo, though.

Yes but I'm afraid that you are another with questionable logic so it doesn't help.😂

From my point of view you have questionable logic, so we're quits. Handshake

Ok, I'll drink to that. But to get back to the topic, over 80 percent of members voted that Floyd is indead prog rock. It's time for the minority to accept the voice of the masses. Otherwise, they will end up haunting this site forever, like Svetonio, trying to convince members that swing music is progressive and that the Russians built the first synth in 1934.

I can agree with that.
