 Topic: Styx
Posted: November 26 2005 at 16:03 |
I don't always pay attention to who has been added to prog archives, some make me mad others i can only shake my head at....but Styx? Now i can't stop laughing, i'm laughing so hard and loud that i expect an ASBO any minute now. I can't control myself, i've never pissed myself laughing, but i have now. I need to get a catheter, this is so funny.
Why are Styx prog?. I use to have most of their albums, and i'm still waiting to hear prog (see Kate Bush also), typical North American middle of the road band, aiming at every audience, but prog.
This is my view, and i stand by it, there is so much crap that people are sticking in here as prog, that there rae probably only about 30 bands in the whole music universe that need to be added in here, before every band since time begun has been added.

As Styx are categorised as "Prog Related", I don't see the problem!
..and it may be a good idea to change the title of your thread...

Prog Related
Prog Related definition
Rock and Pop Bands and Artists after 1970 who were not truly “prog” (as that term is generally and broadly defined, even by the site), but who were clearly not “mainstream” or simply “rock” bands.
A wide subgenre that encompasses two kinds of bands/artist, that either consist of progressive artist that strayed away from their progressive roots into mainstream rock or were influenced by progressive rock.
Even though the music by these artists is sometimes unrelated it had things in common with prog music in that it was very structured and even adventurous, sometimes hard or heavy, sometimes mellow, strong melodies, good hooks are an integral part of most of the material. Sometimes these artists pioneered other rock genres.
Though most of these artist can't really be considered progressive themselves, their relation to progressive music is not to be underestimated.

But i really agree... I mean, we have to stop at some extent. cause pretty soon we'll have rap, R&B, country bands all in Prog Related because they had a long song (OMG A LONG SONG. THAT IS SO PROG) or they had ONE SONG with odd time signatures...
But I understand, the website HAS to do this to keep it alive you know... get more people in it... But by doing that, they're kind of changing the world of Prog! I mean, theres like this urge to add new bands on the archives to make it bigger... But every future addition will be a step further from prog whether u like it or not

You don't need to see, you need to hear that they are mainstream, deadly boring, bland and definitely nowhere near prog. Music to shoot your neighbour for playing.

Nor me... I think there are other bands here like Triumph that are much less prog than Styx are. Also, Styx have been here for about a year or more I believe...

lol yea.. I agree that some bands are worst than Styx, and Styx have always been known to be "art rock"... But there are most defenitely ridiculous bands on this website. and like I said
"I mean, we have to stop at some extent. cause pretty soon we'll have rap, R&B, country bands all in Prog Related because they had a long song (OMG A LONG SONG. THAT IS SO PROG) or they had ONE SONG with odd time signatures...
