Hello guys, my nickname is Razors Edge (Razors, not Razor's!) and I am an Italian progressive rock "academic".
![]() Being a perfectionist, i'll report the mistakes i'll find in the PA discographies. Moreover, i'd like share on and off with you all some reflections about the prog "matter". Here are my favourite artists (variations are possible) for each PA categories (calling "genres" is uncorrect, in my opinion; they are not definable like that): Canterbury Scene (a prog music movement, not a genre): Soft Machine Crossover Prog (a facticious prog category): Mike Oldfield Eclectic Prog (a facticious prog category): The Tangent Experimental/Post Metal (a prog music movement, not a genre): Tool Heavy Prog (a facticious prog category): The Mars Volta Indo-Prog/Raga Rock (a partially prog music movement, not a genre): Osjan Jazz Rock/Fusion (both a prog genre and a prog music movement): Miles Davis Krautrock (a prog music movement, not a genre): Popol Vuh Neo-Prog (a prog music movement, not a genre): Marillion Post-Rock/Math Rock (a prog music movement, not a genre): Sigur Rós Prog Folk (a facticious prog category; here the subject is complicated...): Jethro Tull Progressive Electronic (a facticious prog category): Tangerine Dream Progressive Metal (both a prog genre and a prog music movement): Dream Theater Psychedelic/Space Rock (a prog music movement, not a genre): Pink Floyd RIO/Avant-Prog (a prog music movement, not a genre): Frank Zappa Rock Progressivo Italiano (a facticious prog category): Banco del Mutuo Soccorso Symphonic Prog (both a prog genre and a prog music movement): Transatlantic Tech/Extreme Prog Metal (a prog music movement, not a genre): Opeth Zeuhl (a prog music movement, not a genre): Magma Prog Related (a facticious partially prog category) : Led Zeppelin Proto-Prog (a facticious partially prog category) : Deep Purple Nota Bene: The comments to every categories are not a criticism to Prog Archives, I respect the policy of the site. They are only my thoughts about them. ![]() Ciao a tutti.

Anything else? Maybe room service and a foot rub?

Perfectionists are not usually uncorrect but I guess it's academic now?

![]() Anything but funny. And not very polite. You can do better than this, Special Collaborator! Retry...

How do. Welcome to the site. It is spelt factitious, as in artificial and contrived. Whilst I happen to agree with you, by and large, this is a subject we have debated endlessly here, and I can state that this is not a subject which will win you any popularity contests here. Take some advice from one who knows!

![]() Thanks for the advice, you are very gentle. However, I don't search popularity. In the beginning, i didn't wanted to create this post.

Welcome, and thanks for the interesting notes.
In my mind, all the above are movements rather than sub-genres but this is of little interest to the wider prog community. And yes, some of them are "factitious" as you call them or rather "conventions" to attempt and "categorise" the movements, so that if person X likes the style of band Y, then maybe he can find other bands under the same movement. Of course, none of the "sub-genres" are in isolation, but we are trying for the best fit. And of course, every help in spotting errors and omissions is more than welcome ![]() Edited by aapatsos - April 26 2014 at 08:46 |

I thought he meant to say "fictitious" -
It wasn't meant to be polite, why would I be polite to someone whose first post is presumptuous and arrogant? - C'mon, man, be real. The subgenres are here to help non-fans as much as anyone, so get off your high-horse, take a step back, and try to appreciate such a well-run and informative site instead of trying to enlighten us with your wisdom.

Presumptuous and arrogant? Maybe you are not able to read! I wrote: "Nota Bene: The comments to every categories are not a criticism to Prog Archives, I respect the policy of the site. They are only my thoughts about them. " Look yourself in a mirror before you speak, and respect the newbies.
