^ I was struggling for the right word ... by "Standardist" I mean persons who would only call a band "prog" if there is an historic basis for doing so (e.g. the band has been called prog for like a decade). Nothing wrong with that - and I'm one myself! But I voted "Progressionist" because there are many bands which I wouldn't call "prog", but nevertheless would like to see them together with the prog bands. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

Mike, is this purely theoretical or have actual examples of these sites? ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

^ My own website would be an example of an "Abstract Progressionist" website ... any kind of music can be reviewed & rated there (even non-prog, but you can filter it out). The archives are an obvious example of a "Standardist" website - with a few exceptions (which venture into "Inclusionist" territory). I suppose the other types are purely theoretical ... but from the various discussions I gather that maybe people exist who would love these alternatives. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

Although my center of interest would be the first two options, I'd feel quite limited because of the time frame (especially in regards with the 60's, but also the 90's).
The next two would actually please me even less for some odd reason.
the last two are probably the better solution but both sorts can be a bit too wide-scoped:-Your inclusionist idea is probably whet PA is because of prog-related and proto-prog, but remains rock -your all inclusive progressive music is the most frightening one because, we'dhave to include Edgar Varese, Ornette Coleman, Philip Glass etc...

^ you have a point there - the archives are "inclusionist" because of the prog related/proto prog genres. But then again these bands and albums are "singled out" and clearly marked non-prog, so these bands are kind of included and rejected at the same time. As for my own website: In the end it will be all these websites combined in one - you'll be able to filter out genres, prog related bands and ultimately any other criteria (it's all just tags) and even time periods. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

and don't forget all that stuff from Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and even Pharoah Sanders, John Coltrane et al.
 Also Santana might be included (which, IMHO, just because of Caravansarai should be) in that case.
as far as I see, I seem to be the only one to categorize himself as inclusionist... that is for a web site type, of course... in listening I'm a strict purist (sticking on to the seventies, along with other related genres of Rock, such as psychedelia and early heavy rock...) ------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |

I think that by including Ornette Coleman (free jazz) I was encompassing most of jazz's exploratiry forms.

I was waiting for that one!!Then we can add Moondog and Terry Riley.
Zorn's inclusion on the Archives must be baffling to a few "conventional prog rock" in the conservative sense). Some of Philippe's inclusions must seem that way too. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| I view myself as a so-called Abstract Inclusionist. However, I think that people who view themselves as such in reality often are one of the other "kinds" (in lack of a better word), depending on their definition of Progressive Music. |

Yeah; let's include them all:

Blue Oyster Cult
Rainbow
Santana (coming soon

If I'm totally honest, my favourite option would be the first. I'm a genre purist and the type of Prog Rock I enjoy if the stuff from the late 1960s and early 1970s, and music that sounds like it (from goups such as NUOVA ERA, FLOATING STATE, MAURY E I PRONOMI, THIRD QUADRANT and so on). But I don't lose any sleep at all over the fact this site has broadened its coverage, especially as different people like different things. One can, after all, ignore what one is not interested in.

I wish there would be "All progressive but only progressive music" site, kinda snobish and exclusive site, where bands like Queen, Beatles, Deep Purple (with all my love to them) would not be allowed, and the word "metal" would not be ever mentionned in context relating to music.

http://www.everybandintheworld.com - www.everybandintheworld.com is pretty a pretty abstract progressionist site. the archives def leans to the more inclusionist since there is jazz-rock/fusion, prog-related and proto-prog, prog metal, rio/avant guard, etc... ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm
