Topic: Prog Timeline Posted: April 14 2007 at 04:10 |
Have a look at this prog timeline I created:
Some genres are still missing. I am trying to create a simple view of the "prog universe" ... I don't want to make it too detailed, but I also want to show the important differences between the styles. Edited by MikeEnRegalia - April 14 2007 at 04:11 |

I like it. I've wanted to do something like this myself for quie a while. I particularily like how you've also marked a core period of some styles.

Very interesting MIke. Is it fair to say that some of the metal categories you have included are not considered Prog on this site?

I think "technical" and "shred" metal began in the late 1980s - and would dispute some of the "core" timelines - but great 1st attempt!

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

^ Thanks! Could you name some of these early tech/shred metal bands/albums?
I agree that the "core" timelines need to be adjusted ... Neo prog begins a bit too early for example. |

^ yes, I mentioned in the first post that some genres are missing. Feel free to make some suggestions as to how to add them to the timeline, and I'll try to add them.

Excellent!
However, my usual comment: careful with that word 'fusion'! Indo jazz fusion from 1965 (e.g. Harriott-Mayer Indo-Jazz Fusion Double Quintet) - which allows you bring in Indo-prog...... US proto jazz rock from 1966 (e.g. Free Spirits) UK proto jazz rock from 1963 (e.g. Graham Bond, Georgie Fame) First distinct jazz rock album Emergency by Lifetime - possibly - 1968. Soft Machine Volume 2 clearly shows the cross over from psychedelic to jazz rock fusion In fact Mike you have inspired me to make a more detailed time-line for jazz fusion, bringing in acid jazz, fuzac, (god forbid) smooth jazz, and that more exciting and often cutting edge jazz fusion dating from the 90's: nu.fusion, drum'n'bass jazz, rap jazz, nu.jazz, etc. Edited by Dick Heath - April 14 2007 at 06:56 |

I suspect what you mean by power prog, but the term was used initially to desribe bands like Savatage and Crimson Glory in the eighties/early nineties, so saying it's a post-'95 affair is not really exact. Then again, I realise you have a totally different style in mind, but think about where the said bands would fit in that case. |

Moreover, I have seen Rush frequently categorized as both heavy metal and progressive rock (and rightly so, IMO, since they fused elements of both styles), so isn't it fair to say that - if not full-blown prog metal as we know it now - they are at least proto-prog metal? Interesting chart though, if a little "crowded". On the other hand, at least that's a good way to show nay-sayers that prog is still "alive" in the 21st century! |

Mike,
Nice first shot - although I get rashes from the moniker Nu-Prog, like I got a couple of years ago with Nu-Metal. Oh well.... Are you picking the genres from Progtology or common use, or are you naming them specifically for this chart? |

I must say I like your time line a lot, even when some things like Canterbury are missing |

I don't like the naming of "nu prog," since it makes it like it's drawing a parallel to nu metal, which is just a good concept simplified and made formulaic. Also, I tend to think prog is a lot more musical than metal, so it really can't be simplified and "punk-ized." Also, The Mars Volta is not punk prog.
