Prog snob

It's a live improv recorded in Providence in 1974 just a week or so before the Red sessions, not a piece written for the record. The original recording is longer. Based on what you have said, I suggest Islands next and going forward chronologically. It foreshadows the Bruford-Wetton era.

Is this on the USB drive? I would love to hear it

Fail!

Sadder still to watch it die, Than never to have known it.

Are you sure you're interviewing PFM? I dont see a Toronto tour date for them. But Goblin is playing on 10/26.

I would guess that the violin puts some people off. It takes Kansas' music to a different place than some prog rock fans are willing to go, despite the idea that one of the things that makes prog "proggy" is the inclusion of non-traditional rock instruments. I imagine some people would have a problem with Jethro Tull's flute for the same reason. Disagree. Progsters who don't appreciate Kansas view it as one step above Lynyrd Skynyrd and Marshall Tucker. Has nothing to do with the violin. Sure it can. With those people, perhaps, they hear the violin and they think "country fiddle" or "southern music" or "John Mellencamp." Crimson, PFM, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Ponty all have violin and all are adored by prog fans. But Kansas is too boogie for many. I know some who consider Kansas, and Rush for that matter, redneck rock.

No, I should I have phrased the question better. But those bands were popular before Oasis. I was expecting artists that began in the last 10 years or so.

Saw this on another site, thought it was appropo here. "Re: Scale most common in punk rock? Those bands played mostly in straight major keys. It is a very large part of why they sound like the ****in' Archies."

Sure, but those guys are almost ready for the senior citizen discount at the KFC. Who are recent that have a shot at such a noble honor. Of course I mean rock and/or musicians.

There have always been pop stars...always will. Bigger picture, rock and musicians in general aren't as large of the pie as they were or should be.

I don't agree. Your approach to this is too academic. I think the important thing above all else is how someone responds emotionally to a song/album/artist. If millions do then I think that means as much if not more than merely starting something new. Anyone can dislike something and call it generic or bland, but if millions are adoring and valuing the work of an artist and their music has helped make someone feel richer in life or understood, I think that should be taken into account. Sounding like someone else is fine of your music has heart and soul. And it depends on each listener to decide for themselves if what they are listening too is worth it. It will be interesting and sad to see who the hall is electing in 25 years based on current music trends

Yep, Eno should have been in long ago

Gilmours influence on Rothery is profound. Dave has one of the most emulated sounds I can think of.

Cardiacs for the last 3 years. Opeth from 2001 to 2007.

Favorite, best, versus and poll threads.

Geddy never would have joined but do you know who tried out for METALLICA after Burton passed away??? LES CLAYPOOL! He was too eclectic for them. Obviously. Didn't Claypool used to play an upright, electric bass? Or was I just in such an...ahem...weird state of mind when I saw them open for Rush on the Presto tour that I imagined it? YES!
