Yes, British prog is awesome.

I think PROG was defined in the early 70's by the
British, I think PROG was evolved by the Gremans in
the late 70's.

The British found much appeal to the english
speaking audience. The Germans moved the vocals
out of the way and made a global audience.

Albums by
Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Ashra, Edgar Froese,
Eroc, Annexus Quam, Conrad Schnitzler; Schicke,
Fuhrs & Froeling, Michael Rother, Holger Czukay,
Kraan, Johannes Schmoelling, Michael Hoenig and
Klaus Schulze easily compete with the best from
Britian. Of course if you dont listen to the specific
best albums by these artists then you may judge
them by lesser progressive efforts.

Wonder what a german thinks if ELP's Love Beach
or Yes's Drama or Genesis's I Cant Dance is all he's
ever heard by these bands?

These artists fall into category referred to by
europeans as Kosmiche musik, it is the continuation
and development of British Progressive and
American Psychedelic movements and NO it is not
NEW AGE, the term didnt exist for over 10 years after
this music was being produced. YES, New Age
evolved out of Kosmiche, like Neo Prog evolved from
British Prog.

Remember all cultures should have a chance to
interpret psychedelic music based on their
experience, intelligence and cultures.   

KNOW YOUR PSYCHEDELICS

Yes the GERMANS are good with PROG too!!!!!!!!!

so are other countries too!!

But I feel the UK has contributed to a lot of the development of it!

Its not just Prog Rock, but the whole experiment with modern music has been led by the British. Someone in this discussion also said it-- its definitely a cultural issue; its how the British culture had led the British youths of the sixties to explore, experiment, excell and express themselves. Other societies had other cultural impacts in other times. Certainly music also worked as a counter-force against the depression that affected the British society following the second world war. All other rockers of the world in one way or another simply followed or got inspired by what the British musicians were doing.  

There's over 80% of british prog in my collection, so, I think I very like that.

 Hay Im with progman for this battle although I must defect through bands like Dream Theater, Rush, Kamelot, suncaged, Zappa but primarilly we rule when it comes to prog rock, we got it out there, we made it accessable and cool, we invented rock! All 3 heavy rock, heavy metal and prog rock via psychadelia but still we rule with out our prog no other conutry would have got their prog movements up and running so quickly (yes I know this alil bias and ignorant but Im British/English and Im proud) The Tudors ushered in the modern world, we bilt the modern world, we WERE the modern world (remember that USA we ruled the world before you you're not the 1st ever modern day super-power and you won't be the last), WE built the rock world as you all know so there  lol

 

If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much.

LOL....
very catchy..

British prog is the best. I also love other british music (like Muse, who I don't consider prog), and british humour is the best (Terry Pratchett=best author ever).

I want to move to England

we take out "the best" and rearrange the words and we are left with:

 

 

PROG IS BRITISH
