Joe Muscara Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Nice! The section about album covers really has me rethinking my fandom of prog rock though. What's with all the butts???

Tonysounds Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 That is great!!!

MonksDream Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Effin' brilliant! Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Loving Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 That sounds like/looks like the prog-rock that I have always known. Especially the half-@ssed philosophy and being better musicians than the rest of us! Yeah, and what is it with those bare-@ssed album covers? "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

SK Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Funny stuff. :grin: Now can somebody, and maybe someone who plays the music, tell me what the term "progressive" rock means? I know many of the bands that fall in the category, but how do you know when it goes from rock to progressive rock?

NewImprov Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 It's simple really: Rock: All the guys in the band think they're superior because they get more chicks than you do. Progressive Rock: All the guys in the band think they're superior because they can play more notes than you can.

SK Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 ask Wiki, search the web or don´t care. Well, thanks for the instructional, but it was a friendly question for amusement. So my answer from your choices will have to be, um, I "don't care". You're right that the words themselves mean nothing, but your list includes rock, jazz, bebop, etc. which are defined by well known idioms. Adding a word like progressive to something doesn't say anything. To me, it's the same with the term "jam bands". When any band features a soloist, for that moment it becomes a jam band, or improvising, right? This is all OK - just an observation.

When any band features a soloist, for that moment it becomes a jam band, or improvising, right? This is all OK - just an observation. To me, a jam band is a band that plays mostly recognizeable "memory" versions of tunes that usually (but not always) feature (frequently extended) solos that are probably not present on the original version of the tune. A jam band would be comfortable trying to play a tune at a gig that they've never tried to play together before. The term obviously also applies to bands that grab an instrumental groove and go/improvise, but the latter definition borders on/can frequently cross into jazz. I tend to think of prog rock as pieces of (typically rock-based) music that contain (but are not limited to) something unusual...length, uncommon voicings/time signatures/instrumentation, etc., and/or have strong ties to classical music. FWIW, I actually kinda consider A Day In The Life to be one of the first pieces of prog rock. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
