What is Prog??

Prog Rock?
No, to me it's not about the irregular metre. Listening to good prog is like reading a book or watching a movie. There must be a concept, a story, some kind of structure, different characters - instruments - that develop throughout the piece or the album. You will often hear suspence and drama changing places with romance and tranquility. It is a lot like classical music, but trying to avoid all the cliches. It is also a lot like jazz, but more melodic and focused. It is as powerful, but not as simple as traditional rock and metal. Sometimes prog can be catchy, like pop, but far more interesting to listen to...Well...
