| Radiohead is an obvious - but controversial - example. Talk Talk started as an excellent pop band (I love their second album), and moved to excellent prog rock. |

Most of the prog bands which were creating the genre started out as a non-prog (ofcourse), like Genesis and Yes. Their 1st albums from sixties aren't "prog" musically, at least not in the way than their albums from early 70's?

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't most Prog actually Pop music in the seventies? *scratches head* -------------

If you see pop as simply popular music: yes. ...but then even some black metal can be can be called pop in these days... ------------- "Music is a moral law - it gives wings to the mind, A soul to the universe, Flight to the imagination, A charm to sadness, A life to everything." - Plato |

Incubus can very much go prog. Their "Odyssey" song on the Halo 2 soundtrack is very prog, and they can very easily move further into that direction, ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

They already have. Their newest album has a few moments where they recall Rush (esp. The guitarist, Mike Engzinger and his solos.) If you want a good example of the way they are probably headed ( I hope), I suggest the track "Sick Sad Little World". |

Perkele, now I got it! Tuomari Nurmio Finnish rock musician. His career begun at the late 70's, but he started adventuring in art music seriously at 1992 with his "Hullu puutarhuri" (The mad gardener), which has some longer songs and "Hungry tribal marching band" doing non-timesignatured bigband noise. At 2002 he released a live CD presenting the material of his new band "Tuomari Nurmio & Korkein Oikeus" (Judge Nurmio & Higher Court). This was an agressive and cacophonic trio, who's music was desribed as a clash of KING CRIMSON and BLACK SABBATH. His latest awesome record is done with ALAMAAILMAN VASARAT, and it's included in progarchives! Nurmio is very talented songwriter and lyricist, and has also a very good artistic taste. But I'm not sure if his music is very accesible to those who don't understand finnish... He educated himself as a judge, but he has done his living as a musician, without working a day as a judge. Therefore it's higly respectable, that he has been doing real culture without selling his soul to the music industry! |

Do the lyrics of "The Mad Gardener" have anything to do with the "Song of the Mad Gardener" from Lewis Caroll's (the man who wrote the "Alice" books) novel "Sylvie and Bruno"? Here the lyrics of the "Song of the Mad Gardener" in Caroll's novel: The Mad Gardener's Songby Lewis Carroll |
| He thought he saw an Elephant, That practised on a fife: He looked again, and found it was A letter from his wife. 'At length I realise,' he said, 'The bitterness of Life!' He thought he saw a Buffalo Upon the chimney-piece: He looked again, and found it was His Sister's Husband's Niece. 'Unless you leave this house,' he said, 'I'll send for the Police!' He thought he saw a Rattlesnake That questioned him in Greek: He looked again, and found it was The Middle of Next Week. 'The one thing I regret,' he said, 'Is that it cannot speak!' He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk Descending from the bus: He looked again, and found it was A Hippopotamus. 'If this should stay to dine,' he said, 'There won't be much for us!' He thought he saw a Kangaroo That worked a coffee-mill: He looked again, and found it was A Vegetable-Pill. 'Were I to swallow this,' he said, 'I should be very ill!' He thought he saw a Coach-and-Four That stood beside his bed: He looked again, and found it was A Bear without a Head. 'Poor thing,' he said, 'poor silly thing! It's waiting to be fed!' He thought he saw an Albatross That fluttered round the lamp: He looked again, and found it was A Penny-Postage Stamp. 'You'd best be getting home,' he said: 'The nights are very damp!' He thought he saw a Garden-Door That opened with a key: He looked again, and found it was A Double Rule of Three: 'And all its mystery,' he said, 'Is clear as day to me!' He thought he saw a Argument That proved he was the Pope: He looked again, and found it was A Bar of Mottled Soap. 'A fact so dread,' he faintly said, 'Extinguishes all hope!' |
