Hi,

(welcome btw, if you have not been welcomed!)

Thanks!

I do hope you realize I was jokingly copy-pasting the wikipedia description of Progressive Rock in that post Tongue


Hi,

I'm not a great fan of the Wiki stuff and (in general) too much of their material is not clean, and has no intelligence whatsoever, as if it was written by folks that only knew some rock music, never went to a theater, never went to see a film other than the generic top ten crap that is not even considered artistic, although the media advertising for it, makes it seem like the latest action cartoon is the best thing since sliced bread!

However, I come from a high level literary family, so it is very easy for me to see, and think that the artistic side is more important than a mere hit song ... although I would say that a lot of the academic stuff around it is just as bad as the "fandom" around the advertisements of the latest something or other ... and no one seems to realize how the media only talks about the things they support AND OWN ... in order to prevent the "independents" from making headway ... and in many ways this is the big was on the Internet, that I can only hope that the huge corporate cartels do not eventually buy everything for ten cents ... and turn the whole thing into just another TV set, or lousy radio station!

In this sense, we don't realize much what "progressive" really meant at the time, and how those people created so much work ... but without a place for it to live and be "seen" and "heard", it is rather difficult. 

I, originally, joined the PA folks because I thought this would be a great place for discussing new things ... and in the past many years it has gotten worse with too many threads about the top this or that, and yet another fan asking which guitarist is best of his list of 5 because he/she does not hear anything else! It is sad, in so many ways, and a total regression of what the term "progressive" really meant ... but I think that folks got too stoned, and drunk ... to even know the difference ... something stupid like that!
Sometimes, moshkito, I feel in some of your posts it is like you are talking down to some people around here, and you are up on your high horse.... I have been a wiki editor for a bit in the past-I wrote the wiki entry for musician/producer/engineer Dirk Steffens, and also contributed greatly to the wiki page for Helmut Koellen (it was just a stub until I expanded it) and I find your definition of a wiki writer to be insulting. Also, I kind of enjoy "Top 10 lists" of best guitarist or whomever around here, and I don't spend my time getting stoned and drunk, ever.....people get involved in those lists because they have something to say, not that they are sad cases.... again your tone is pretty insulting, and I don't like it!

As a kid at home in the early 70s we called it Symphonic Rock, or the earlier 60s stuff was called Psychedelic, Hippie or Underground music. I don't remember exactly when did I make the connection to the broader term Progressive Rock.

At any rate the term Progressive Music was already used in Spain back in 1970 to refer to music that went beyond the commercial 3 minutes pop songs.

Okay, but that has very little to do with whether someone is able to write a good encyclopedia-style summary page of something, which is ultimately what wikipedia does and does pretty well (for most big pages anyway). There are certainly problems with wikipedia, but most big pages have plenty of (credible) sources listed, so it doesn't matter if the people who wrote them is from a 'literary' family or only watches Marvel movies. That has no effect on whether someone is able to write wikipedia pages well.

Well, my pops listened to a ton of music those days, but referred to Yes/Genesis as "rock" iirc.

So first I heard the music, and then learnt there is "progressive rock" moniker. It made sense. VDGG, KC or Gentle Giant differed wildly from Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple for sure.

From that moment, there was either "hard rock" that ruled, "progressive rock" - that took skill and was beautiful and intriguing; and then there was regular, vanilla "rock", that didn't interest me at all.

Hi,

I think you are reading too much into it and not taking in consideration the very different upbringing that I went through to end up feeling like that.

My issue with "Wiki" is that it does not have, exactly, a quality control, and a process with which they allow someone to write on this and that and tomorrow, someone else's write up is removed by, or replaced, by something with very little artistic value ... as if the "reality" of the art itself, was not important, and within rock music, art is a joke, and just another song, which is sad in many ways, and I doubt that in my lifetime, many of those "song" folks will figure out how to respect their appreciation with a little more than a goddammed blue guitar, 6 strings, 8 strings, 10 strings, 12 strings, and a dancing keyboard, or some other kind of idiocy that has not as much to do with the music, as it did with the time that it came up in the first place. It was no coincidence that things were not "impressed" with 2001, and many other movies (for example) and that they had to show on stage that it was just as powerful ... and many bands did, and showed up, even if today we kinda look at it as too much, but the hundred million dollar horrible light show for the latest Genesis show is mentioned ... wow ... I'm impressed that I stayed home and did not waste a cent! For a "show" that had nothing to help define the music itself, beyond just another hit.

Right ... and you are nitpicking on me and ignoring some other things in Ukraine and the rest of the world. Reality, for many, is not insulting ... but for those that have an image, or a romantic idea of what they like, seeing a different reality is scary and (of course) ... insulting.

I'm fighting for an art form. Your comments are about screw the art form because of one person you happen to not like or enjoy reading for a reason or two. I'm not into creating lies and falsehoods, to get my comments out ... and I am a writer and published and don't need your opinion on anything I do or write. 

IF I DID, I would not be "progressive" and an "artist". Maybe you don't want to get this truth ... but that is another story.

Gentlemen, gentlemen. ;-)

Seriously, "progressive rock" is just a label applied after the fact by the music industry. 

As a few people here have mentioned, we didn't have a name for it way back then. I have a big problem with "musical genres" being named - you end up with about 100 different subgenres of heavy metal (one genre is arguably too much there, but just personal opinion, folks.) 

What it's called doesn't really matter.

"Funny music by crazy guys" or "baroque" was how a fellow pupil described King Crimson's Islands when he presented it to me (we were mid-teenage). I found the music rather depressing and would esp call Sailor's Tale "music that tells the story of a shipwreck". Another comrade found Red and Discipline on a tape in the school library and introduced them to me so I became the more curious and got some info in bookshops where KC was called "progressive rock"... This made it simplier to describe from then on !

I was happy to have discovered what I'd thought were hidden musical gems (I'd realize later that they weren't that hidden... ). It was like a true sonic secret garden.

And so all you are capable of doing is getting defensive and insulting me further! Despite the background you come from and go on and on about in your posts, you don't seem to have much of an understanding of how you come across to people. Yes, I am aware that wikipedia is a mixed blessing and not perfect, but you make sweeping generalisations about things sometimes and you don't get it when you are putting down someone and how that makes someone feel. I  don't understand you. I do not live under a rock, and am aware of what is happening in the world, like in Ukraine.

Bar-built estuaries are found in a place where the deposition of sediment has kept pace with rising sea levels so that the estuaries are shallow and separated from the sea by sand spits or barrier islands. They are relatively common in tropical and subtropical locations. These estuaries are semi-isolated from ocean waters by barrier beaches (barrier islands and barrier spits). Formation of barrier beaches partially encloses the estuary, with only narrow inlets allowing contact with the ocean waters. Bar-built estuaries typically develop on gently sloping plains located along tectonically stable edges of continents and marginal sea coasts. They are extensive along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the U.S. in areas with active coastal deposition of sediments and where tidal ranges are less than 4 m (13 ft). The barrier beaches that enclose bar-built estuaries have been developed in several ways:
  • building up of offshore bars by wave action, in which sand from the seafloor is deposited in elongated bars parallel to the shoreline,
  • reworking of sediment discharge from rivers by a wave, current, and wind action into beaches, overwash flats, and dunes,
  • engulfment of mainland beach ridges (ridges developed from the erosion of coastal plain sediments around 5000 years ago) due to sea level rise and resulting in the breaching of the ridges and flooding of the coastal lowlands, forming shallow lagoons, and
  • elongation of barrier spits from the erosion of headlands due to the action of longshore currents, with the spits growing in the direction of the littoral drift.

Hi,  

You might add in how he was born talentless in a talented family but somehow thinks that because of parental proximity, and the fact he saw someone in a concert or saw a Broadway play that he somehow has some superior opinions that transcend everyone else's obviously pedestrian opinions because..."songs". 

STFU.

I like the estuary discussion. The concept has continually evolved. A lot of early literature characterized estuaries as coastal areas with low salinity, which made the term rather nebulous with respect to depositional environment.

Since Exxon and the associated geological minions unleashed seismic and sequence stratigraphy on the world, estuaries had a crisped up conceptual framework built around marine flooding of incised river valleys.

It’s interesting how concepts of estuaries have evolved. Concepts of progressive rock have also evolved considerably. In the early days many would not have considered Pink Floyd and Zappa as progressive rock. Nowadays they seem so obviously to be core parts of progressive rock. Amazing what more than half a century of hindsight brings!
