Which literary genre do you think has had more influence in prog: Science Fiction or Fantasy. ------------- If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks! |

Well Tolkiens Fantasy has been very influential but it has no relation to "science"

At least from the ones I've heard i think that fantasy has inspired a
lot more than science fiction. And the fantasy lyrics are not so cheesy
as the scienes fiction ones

| Maybe "fantasy oriented sci-fi?". I think it flourished in the works of HAWKWIND. Also "Olias of Sunhillow" is a some sort of fantasy/sci-fi themealbum. BO HANSSON did his own musical version of "Lord of The Rings", I heard it long time ago, and I just got myself a copy for relistening! |
