Interesting....I don't agree with some of the bands on there...but still cool. I'm also having trouble with the whole Rush being higher than Pink Floyd bit as well. Toto, Primus, Blood Sweat and Tears and Portis Head are prog? |

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest she wasn't, just that she was higher up than Can, who are without question one of the most influential and brilliant BANDS (never mind prog bands) of the 1970s. I love Babooshka and Wow, and all that Heathcliff stuff. Apparently she wrote it all herself - in her TEENS. Where is she now I wonder...? |

Dream Theater Neo Prog? (Look at the right side) STYX before Anglagard, Rick Wakeman, PFM. The Strawbs, etc? Genesis N° 3??? Should be N°1 at least the Gabriel era. ASIA N° 21????? Should be at leat 210 TOTO Prog? I would say cheap POP instead. California Guitar Trio is an excelent band but not remotely prog. ELO N°12? Not really prog and one of the top in the list.

Even though I can't stand King Crimson I will still rate them as the best prog band ever. There are such things as objective criteria even in music and to be absolutely objective,KC has pushed the bounderies further back and been on the whole more creative and imaginative than any other prog band so I would definitely cite them as the best prog band ever. Personal opinions and subjective notions don't come into it. If so,then IQ (or possibly Genesis) would be at the top of my list but to suggest that either of them have been more creative,original and groundbreaking than KC is laughable. If asked for my personal favourites,seen from a completely subjective viewpoint,IQ would be at the top of my list. If asked what is the most significant prog band ever from a completely objective,musical historical viewpoint,it would be King Crimson,without a doubt. The fact that I would rather listen to a pig giving birth than any of their albums doesn't enter into it. ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

Wrath_of_Ninian wrote about Genesis:
I can understand you don't like Genesis, it's a matter of personal taste, I don't like King Crimson very much or Mahavishnu Orchestra for example, but from there to call one of the most influencial bands in Progressive Rock history rubbish, is offensive. Genesis duiring the Gabriel and/or Hackett era created one of the most unique an imaginative atmospheric sounds, Steve Hackett is probably the most talented guitar player in Prog' and Peter Gabriel is one of the top vocalists, not to mention Tony Banks, who's style is the base for a whole sub genre of Progressive Rock like Neo Prog. When I give hard opinions about any band (including STYX or Boston It's ok if you say you dislike them and you give valid reasons, but I believe they and their fans deserve some respect. Iván |

Yesterday I had a discussion about ELO with a guy there and after a hostile greeting he seemed receptive. Also recieved a message from Drew (The Adm) and seems to be trying to do something good, but I believe too many hands are there and that's why Styx (For example) ended in place 21 even when in the past 5 lists wasn't even mentioned. It's interesting to see the opinions of some people there even when there is no place like Prog Archives. Maybe they have a lot of mistakes but at least they are trying to do a progressive list instead of another mainstream music page, I believe it will get better with some time and experience. But I'm still angry for the lack of Triumvirat, Le Orme, Par Lindh, etc in that list. Iván

I did not mean to 'offend', and if you truly are upset, I apologise. Being a prog fan, I thought you might be used to such comments, especially in the public arena, but clearly my devastating repartee ("they're rubbish") cut through the tendons and stuck spikes in your nerves. If you are genuinely seeking a debate about why I feel this way about Genesis, I'm afraid this response will be a disappointment, as I have no real intention of decrying a band I rarely listen to these days (although Turn It On Again was on in IKEA the other day). To respond to your points individually however, firstly I would agree that they are one of the most influential bands in prog, though why this means we should all love them is beyond me. In many ways they showed how prog bands can evolve into pop bands, and this is an influence I could have done without. I notice you define clearly the 'good' era from the 'bad' era - but it all comes under the 'Genesis' banner as far as I concerned (you'll notice I didn't make this distinction). Secondly, to simply praise the guitarist, singer and keyboard player is not really saying why they they command respect. I could name many guitarists who I think are more effective than Steve Hackett, but didn't think it would convey what I was trying to get across in my simplistic statement. Finally, I think Genesis are 'rubbish' because I have not made it to the end of one of their albums (both eras) without at least one of the following occuring: 1. Falling asleep 2. Opening a Reader's Digest magazine 3. Turning On TV's 'Countdown' (Again...) 4. Getting really annoyed that all these people can produce (with all their talent and money) is mediocre, overlong slabs of complex but ultimately bland rock fodder, which cannot stimulate the slightest inkling of emotion in my being. The reason this is the case is because I am ME - and NOT because all Genesis fans are wrong. If you want to take this further, perhaps on another thread, I could try and borrow back the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, and we can debate its merits in a civilised manner, without recourse to the word 'rubbish'. In the meantime, I suggest you take my original post in the context in which it was written - it was a warm and no-harm-intended reaction to an earlier post denouncing the Top 100 chart, and in particular Genesis' positioning at No.3 (or whatever it was). Similar, if less explicit comments were directed at other bands, without (may I add) the type of reaction I got from yourself. I hope this exchange has not tarnished your impression of me Ivan, as I try to be as honest and objective as I can. I understand the point you are trying to make, and had I given such a response on a Genesis thread, then you would have a case. In this instance however, you'll notice that virtually everyone else ignored the comment and got on with it. Best wishes

Wrath_of_Ninian: I never disputed your right to dislike Genesis, I only disagree with the use of the word rubbish: Rubbish: 1 : useless waste or rejected matter : http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=trash - TRASH You don't need a reason to say you don't like Genesis, it's enough to say it's not suitable for your taste, but if you say it's rubbish, you're saying most of us in this place listen trash and this implies we have a terrible taste. I've read many posts of members saying they don't like Genesis, some give reasons and some don't, but none of them insults the band and our personal taste. There was a post about civilized discussions, I'm not sure if it's there still, but would be a good idea for everybody to read it. Yes I'm used to even worst comments against not only Genesis but against most prog bands, but those insults come usually from ignorants POP lovers who don't know a word about progressive rock, but in this place we're all Progheads and a bit of courtesy among each other is not bad. By theway, I took no offense, but I saw flamming discussions start for less than this, and that's what I'm trying to avoid Iván |

Just read your post again Wrath of Ninian and you said:
I can only answerfor myself, so I copied my post and as you can see the only hard term I use is cheap POP when talking about TOTO, even when it's hard I don't say it's rubbish or trash, only qualify it as POP and according to my personal opinion most pop is cheap. Iván wrote:

Ivan, I think you are taking this a little too far now, but in the spirit of politeness, I'll respond. My comments are in bold. First of all you objected: "Rubbish: 1 : useless waste or rejected matter : http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=trash - TRASH You don't need a reason to say you don't like Genesis, it's enough to say it's not suitable for your taste, but if you say it's rubbish, you're saying most of us in this place listen trash and this implies we have a terrible taste." Quoting from your original complaint: "saying they are rubbish without explaining why, has no senses. This is a discussion forum and in order to have an intelligent discussion we should give reasons. It's ok if you say you dislike them and you give valid reasons." Surely this is a contradiction? Do I need a reason or not? When you've decided, let me know. As I said earlier, I'd be happy to provide some. Secondly, dont quote dictionary definitions at me - they dont mean anything. Language and its meaning are constantly evolving, and besides its patronising and inflammatory Finally, you wrote: "All I do is to write what I believe are mistakes, bands that are not Psychedelic even remotely others which are not prog, etc, but there's not a single insult. Now don't worry, I'm an old stubborn fart when talking about Genesis." Clearly you are Genesis fan who has (contrary to all your previous correspondence) taken offence to me casually labelling them 'rubbish'. I have apologised for the remark, I genuinely didn't think anyone would be in the slightest bit bothered (or interested) by it, and didn't even pause when writing it, but you have proved me wrong. I suggest you track back through every other thread in search of similar confrontational prose, and bring other cuplrits to task. I must say, as a new member to this site, I have already had some intelligent exchanges, some hilarious comments made, and more importanly, I have found out about strands of prog that I knew nothing about. Opinions are important, but so is enjoyment and interaction. If someone wrote that Robert Wyatt was 'rubbish', I would laugh, and either ignore it or counter with something equally mindless. Your enthusiastic rebuttal of what was a harmless remark, has reminded me that there some people out there who will always take things too far. There was no malice intended against Genesis fans, or the band themselves - I know that my record collection will no doubt mirror the vast majority of Genesis fans' prog collections anyway - with the exception of Genesis of course. I think you have already taken this too far, and I seek closure on the matter forthwith. Besides, its boring for others who are genuinely interested in this thread. Best wishes |

LMAO, I don't take it too far, I said I'm an old stubborn Genesis fan. My whole point is that I've been here for a bit more time than you and I've seen terrible quarrels for less than this.
I don't see the harm in quoting a dictionary, specially when English is not my first language (As I said it 20 times or more) and I use the very often. I don't know if it's your case but sometimes people uses words without worrying for the real meaning of the words, from wher I come from if somebody calls trash what another one loves it can be taken as an insult. Just to end, I believe insulting other persons taste is terrible but if it's done with no valid reason it's even worst. There's no need to insult what others love, that's my whole point. Let's there be peace. Iván |

Well Prog_Bassist, I see TOTO more like POP with some Jazzy moments, they are good in what they do but I don'tbelieve it's Prog'. As an anecdote, I once had to go to Tacna (A small city in the frontier with Chile), being that the trip was planned for 2 days and it was by plane, I didn't take any music with me. But there the company had some problems and I had to stay 2 weeks, so I rented a car that had cassette player (so I could cross the frontier to Arica - Chile the weekend and buy a cheap TV set), but Tacna is the f*cking a$$ of the world and coudn't get a decent cassete for the car, everything was salsa, Enrique Iglesias and Backstreet Boys and I hate all that music, but could buy a pirate compilation of TOTO in the market and hoped to buy anything better in Chile. So I stayed one week with the damn TOTO cassette, in those days I learned to hate that band, when I crosse to Chile the first weekend, the situation wasn't much better and I bought In the Hot Seat, which I never heard before and learned to hate for another week. That's one of the reasons why I don't like TOTO Iván |

We all must realize that taste, likes and dislikes are all subjective,
no matter what type of music we are speaking of. Don't complain or get
offended if you're favorite band is too low or not even on the list,
although Snow Dog may be angry since BACAS MUCHAS CRAPIOLAS is not
represented on the list.... Anywho, just listen to what you like, I myself don't really agree with the list, but I'm not getting worked up about it. Just my thoughts. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste. It is a process of expression." -Merleau-Ponty |

I'm not absolutely offended ! I think that the bands that i've listed should be in the list, but not because they are my favorite, because they are GREAT PROGRESSIVE ROCK BANDS. |

I wasn't directly referring to your comments, although they did sound a bit negative to me. I was replying to my thoughts about that list. I think though that some of the bands you listed or referred to are unkown outside of your country (or at least Europe) or they only have one album, like in the case of Khan, who I really like by the way, which makes them "less important" to some people. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

If you check the site more closely, it has the following statement: "Disclaimer: There is nothing 'Official' about these lists. They are compiled by the 'editor' using the stated criteria, and revised considering the competent suggestions of visitors to this website only." The singular use of the term "editor" implies to me that this is just one person's opinion, so that should clearly be taken into consideration when determing the validity of the data. Unfortunately the way the site is designed, it gives the impression that this is something that was researched by multiple people, when it appears it really hasn't, although it looks like the editor may be open to suggestions as the list appears to be changing. When you go to Prog Archives, for example, it is clear that a lot of effort has been put into the top 100 list here by a real community made up of fans and experts of the genre. It's all about determing what a reputable source is. |

I always knew that Yngwie "the Rhapsody Guardian X" Malmsteen was so
much better and progressive than WatchTower or Gordian Knot.... What a crap list. |
