So, I noticed a lot of whining and complaining about all these bands in the archives that "aren't really prog". Well, I've got a few things to say to all of you. This is a prog-rock website. As an avid prog-rock listener, I like to hear music that is similar to prog. If I go to any other site, they're not going to say "Queen is related to prog" or "The Moody Blues" are some of the precursors of prog". Only Prog Archives actually specifies similarities to prog music. I like to have these prog-related or proto-prog bands on the site because ONLY HERE can I see their relation to prog music, and why I might want to check them out. Also, it's not like Prog Archives is misleading site viewers. They specifically say that these bands are either prog-related or proto-prog, not progressive rock itself. If you really don't think these bands are prog music, why don't you stay out of the proto-prog/prog related sections of the site? You don't have to click the link. And finally, don't you think it's a good thing to know about the roots of progressive music and bands influenced by progressive music? It's very enjoyable to listen to, and it does have a connection to progressive rock. So if you're really so aversed to having music on the site that isn't entirely progressive, just stay out of those sections and you're all set. But maybe ya'll could learn something about good music that can be and sometimes is progressive. |

It's good to hear that some folks agree with me. You'd think prog fans would be more open-minded about music. Or maybe not. What do I know? |

Wise words I|I|I|I|I, but I'm going to close this thread now. This section is specifically for discussion about bands in those categories. |
