All styles of music have the potential of being progressive. Rap, blues, classical, polka, dub-step, klezmer and jazz - I should know - I've heard progressive music in all those genres. PA just concerns itself with the rock part of the equation.


Yeah, thats right but the indo prog/raga rock doesn´t always contain rock IMHO.

Edit: Not a hundred percent sure about some of the electronic ones too.

In general some of the last additions were ... questionable. At first we should ask ourselves is this still rock : D

The closest example would be the Come With Me song Puff ("I don't know no D from no E" Daddy did with Jimmy Page.

I did hear of a rumour which as far as I know has not happened. Jon Andrson doing rap / opera concept something.

All these point toward a negative.

Hip hop does occasionally demonstrate some ability to use the song format. But it's just reinventing the wheel and painfully for the most part.

A pair of words followed by two beats (repeated slowly) is musical impoverishment indeed. The last thing of hip hop I heard...

Currently listening to a Carl Palmer drum solo (Steve Hackett guesting).

No voices, no melodies and only the occasional well timed phrase in it's arsenal.

Big fat no...

^ And the man sometimes referred to as the Godfather of Rap, Gil Scott-Heron (a label he rejected, spoken word proto-hip hop would suit him better)
