OFF: Re: More Prog Rock Babble

[Troy Harris]

  OH FOR GOD'S SAKE PROG ROCK IS JUST THAT: PROGRESSIVE!

 It is subject to change.  I mean I have an old article that says BLACK
SABBATH are a prog rock band.  Prog bands are just bands that explore
territory, and are usually eclectic.
  I think we have heard enough about certain bands as being "prog".  These
bands are largely now "Regressive" or "history".  They are "prog", but so
are a *LOT* of contemporary bands that would not get a look in on this
list.
  Pidgeon holing bands, in the end, really doesn't work to the extent that
we would like it too.  (Unless the band in question *seeks* to be generic,
like ManOWar want to be Metal, for eg)

  My two pesos,
