Why not have some light hearted fun? Share your favorite least-favorite apparent prog rock dogmatic axiom: I can't tell you how many times I hear this, and it's blatantly false. Despite their obvious prog leanings at the start, they achieved more commercial success as a pop group. They are not mutually exclusive, and it's amazing that some people can't grasp people can enjoy both eras for completely different reasons. When argued that commercial success isn't the point, this same group of people will turn around and insist Dark Side of The Moon is a cult classic because it sold millions of copies and had mass appeal. Right. Can you think of more popular instances like this in the prog community? Discuss.

Wow!!!! There are too many to mention. Here are some that pop into my mind:
Jethro Tull is a prog folk band. Prog has the best musicians. Prog is music for musicians. The Moody Blues are Prog Related. I can think of many more, but I better stop here.

"It's not Yes without Jon Anderson"(this coming from a huge Jon fanboy).
"Early King Crimson sound." Well what is the early sound? There was symphonic sounds but a whole lot of other stuff too even on the first two albums.

I don't have a problem with that. They are but they are also other things too.

Prog is both overrated and in a crisis because it's not popular enough.

Prog rock began with King Crimson in 1969. Prior to that, the musical universe was a primordial soup that did not coalesce until Robert Fripp made order out of the nothingness.

The Beatles - A Day In The Life is the first prog track Short tracks equal pop/Long tracks equal prog Punks hated prog rock Prog bands hated punk Prog bands didn't want to record hit records All prog musicians are clever All Roger Dean album covers have weird sci fi landscapes (actually this may be true!) |

Prog fans are intelligent Music that is considered hard to play has more value than music that is considered easier to play Hit singles are for poofs Short, memorable songs are for the types of people only fit for bayonet practice (in peace time) Jon Anderson is a sentient mammal Bad poetry is the new good poetry Phil Collins is the Antichrist Without Sgt Pepper there would be no languages, mathematics, technology, art, fauna or internet Steven Wilson will eliminate famine, house the homeless, heal the sick and find a cure for 'enjoyment' |

Punk killed prog.
Classic prog died in 1974. Marillion is a Genesis clone. No Fish, no Marillion. Dream Theater should get rid of James LaBrie. etc, etc...

No good prog came out after 1978.
Any song under 20 minutes isn't really prog.
