Hi, I find it weird that you chose the song with Ninet to say that ... a song that is inherently EMOTIONAL and has a strong meaning ... way beyond the majority of listeners within the "progressive" market place ... specially into an area that is important and has a lot more meaning than 99% of the cheesy lyrics found in so many "progressive" materials. And something that SW himself will never be able to do again! Maximalist is a bizarre, and silly term. I guess that the best of them would be STRAVINSKY but I'm not sure that person has any idea what that means. FZ to my ears, was not a maximalist. His main desire was to see how this and that could work with something else, and he made it valuable to our listening experience with only one odd ball thing that many still don't like ... 200 Motels, which is excellent, but a satire on something totally different in classical music that rock fans will never appreciate. If you EVER bother to listen to the live performance of this at UCLA before Gayle passed away, you will understand it better ... how a choir took to this so seriously and did it magnificently without saying that they were bored with all the crap they had been singing for years in so much classical music. Sadly, I don't think this group has the appreciation for something that heavy and important.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Agreed. And anyone who thinks otherwise, probably hasn’t heard enough Queen. 👏🏻👏🏻

I think Zappa and Beefheart helped to define this early on in the experimental rock scene.

Despite the name of the album, I don't think I'm convinced 
They are pretty good. I already have that album. They kind of remind me to this fellas: To understand it, you must see this:
I wouldn't call all progressive rock maximalist. And not all maximalist music progressive rock. Progressive rock, but not maximalist in my ears: Not progressive rock, but completely maximalist in my ears:
Beyond Bohemian Rhapsody, I don't think I hear much maximalism in them.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Isn't this what Progressive Rock is all about?

Not sure if this fits but the riffage on this track is quite extreme. To the max baby, to the max; till the guitar pick melts!

I have got really interested in maximalism lately. I wonder whether do you know of any music that could fit the following description: In the arts, maximalism, a reaction against minimalism, is an aesthetic of excess. The philosophy can be summarized as "more is more", contrasting with the minimalist motto "less is more". For example: Edited by edefakiel - May 15 2022 at 07:46 |
