I would never consider Primus to be prog, but many others do! ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

Primus is not prog. Iron Butterfly is not prog (except for Inna Gadda Da Vidda). Rare Earth is not prog. |

I know many consider Primus to be progressive, but I find them to be truly amongst the most boring, repetitive, and derivative hard rock bands today. And whilst Iron Butterfly did play a few shows with King Crimson, I would never consider them to be a truly progressive band for similar reasons; they are more accurately "moderate art rock", likely having more influence on Heavy Metal than on the Progressive bands of the time. I am totally unfamiliar with Rare Earth. ------------- Cheers! |

None of the above.......... are prog ------------- 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 |

The guy who works in my local used vinyl shop played me some Rare
Earth. The five minutes or so I heard were kinda proggy, but I really
haven't heard enough to say if the rest of their output was too. Iron Butterfly's early stuff was psychadelic. Their later stuff was rock with occasional slight traces of prog. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

I love Primus, but I can see where some would find them repetitive and perhaps even boring. But derivative?!?! Please tell me what other band sounds remotely like Primus.

Primus are not at all derivative. Their motto is "To defy the laws of tradition", and you only need to read the lyrics of "Year of the Parrot" to see what they think about plagiarism: In the year of our lord
