only people that only know this song by A-ha laugh at this band. Those who have listened more do not laugh anymore.

At least in the instrumental "Come on Eileen... Come on Eileen..." you could always sing "It's not Prog though! It's not Prog though!" so there is at least that.

That song couldn't be farther away from sounding proggy than it is. Also, quite frankly, it sickens me. Now that I've stated the obvious, I'd like to respectively suggest that you monitor this site with a little more genuine curiosity in order to secure from others more knowledgeable than me what it is that actually sounds like prog.

Well said. "Memorial Beach" is a good album. And I like "Take On Me" anyway, so there.

only AFTER Gino Valenti finally is added to the site.. which won't happen till someone puts M@X out of his money grubbing misery and prog fans take this site back over. Which of course will be me... day 3 he gets aded.. then we can talk about how prog Rhinestone Cowboy is haha. Day 4 though.. the Allman Brothers.. the greatest jazz fusion band that ever lived.. and Willie.. the most progressive folk artist that ever lived.. both get added.

Eileen prog? Great idea. Goes well with the Searching For The Young Soul Rebels concept album. If Yes and Asia can Kill the Radio Star with Video by the Buggles (the former sucked all the fun from the Buggles, but no Drama, and the latter put it back) then a spot of a fun little folk tune can go down well. Otherwise we might all be sticks in the mud. Right, back to Roy Harper and his Unknown Soldier album which is nearly as good.

prog is not the sole domain of the competent and creative

I've never said prog is the sole domain of creativity or being competent. As for Madonna being creative and competent, I don't know about that, to put it politely. She was creative with her image, the way she presented herself to the world, her videos. Other than that not so much. |

RHCP has never been my biggest favourites, but liked it quite much in the nineties, saw them three times and still like a lot their 8 first albums. Creative, well maybe not, but they just made good music. Nowdays they have become really boring.
