Only play the stuff I like and not play things I do not like. I will still listen to the stuff I do not like and give it a chance.

All lyrics to be submitted to me for approval before recording. If they are found wanting the album must be recorded as instrumental, though the singer can add wordless vocalising if I don't find his voice annoying. Otherwise he'll just have to learn to play the maracas.

By making it really progressive, not only generic prog.

^Didn't Steve Wilson identify pop as the next logical progression?

I like what Seven Impale and Native Contact do. I like metal prog meets jazz. Or, What Motopsycho did withThe Death Defying Unicorn. Or what YES did with Magnification, when they dropped Keys and wrote orchestral parts instead of keys. It doesn't have to an orchestra. Use your imagination, use a barbershop quartet as an instrument. A jazz quartet as an instrument. Add more drummers and different kinds of drums. I'd like to see a major Animated Prog musical Fantasy movie with major talents contributing songs and voices. Interested to see how Therion's 3 1/2 hour Opera turns out. Put several constraints on an album. For example write each song in different key with different time signatures. Put a time constraint on recording time and album length. Release 4 thirty minute EP's in a row instead of a 2 hour album. Constraints cause creation. You wouldn't play tennis without a net. Do what Zappa did. Don't let the other musicians hear what the others are playing. Study Zappa and Miles Davis techniques. Not their music but their techniques.

I can't really explain but I can say that my next album sounds like aggressive Mars Volta metal with zero jamming and plenty of mellotron. And I have a couple sounds that currently sound like Rick Wakeman playing in modulating keys over blastbeats.
I've always wanted those things so I worked my ass off to do it. |

Don't think Prog needs to be improved. Many bands throughout the world are experimenting with music and making great sounds with it!...
It's up to the listener to choose his/her preference of music and genre within the Prog family.

More cellos, for sure Violins, I'm much less certain. Naked women would also be an improvement.

I came into this thread thinking this immediately, and was surprised it took this long for someone to post it
