i love prog and everything but....BLACK SABBATH ROCKS! my favorite non prog band. they were influenced by yes so clearly its beautiful...*tears*
prog to me is being ahead of its time....not just having moogs, classical music, and insane licks.......the grunge bands are a great example to me... same with the the old punk bands
the who, sabbath, steely dan, the pretenders, xtc, rem (pre suck ass), missing persons, the b52s, tears for fears, the clash, sex pistols are my good ole non prog bands
nirvana, pearl jam, foo fighters, red hot chili peppers, crossfade, coldplay, tool, nine inch nails, greenday (before suckass POS mofo american idiot came out), and some really new ones-fall out boy, alkaline trio, and silverstein......ya
but id rather listen to their great grandpappys crimson,floyd,yes, and rush anyday
come you proggers out there spill yer guts!
