What prog bands have a bubblegum type sound?  I think some due, probably only once in a while.  I always thought ELP had a touch of that, especially BSS.   I can see Ambrosia as well, maybe Starcastle.

I suppose late 70s Supertramp, ELO and Alan Parsons Project would fit that bill.

I always thought that bubblegumpop was music like Spice Girls, Nancy Sinatra, The Osmonds, The Monkees, The Archies etc. aimed at teenagers.

In opposition of more intelligent pop like rock, new wave, synthpop etc.

But as the users of this forum are strongly against anything that resembles popmusic (prog is actually popmusic), they like to bash all bands that score hitsingles.

So, Queen, ELP, Manfred Mann's Earthband etc. are all crap and bubblegum.

Bubblegum is similar to straight-up pop, often linked with 60's pop, so some alternative titles for this thread could be: "Who are The Archies of Prog?", "If 1910 Fruitgum Company Went Prog..." "I Need More Partridge Famiy in My Gentle Giant" LOL

Seriously though some of my favourite prog is the poppy stuff! 


New album!

Can't be because it's simply not true.

This is juts bashing bands for the sake of bashing bands.

Apparently the definition of bubblegumpop isn't quit clear.

There's a difference between pop and bubblegum pop. A cursory google search will give anyone lots of information on that.

A prog band that makes poppier songs is not necessarily making bubblegum prog, if such a thing even exists.

It would have been neat back in the days of going underneath school desks and among all the gum deposits and dried up boogers I'd find prog.
