Prog fans hate Arcade Fire? Do they hear what they listen to?
Anyways, I'm in love with Guided By Voices/Robert Pollard and various other lo-fi cult artists such as Daniel Johnston. Prog fans generally seem to hate no production stuff.
I too like Arcade Fire and Coldplay and pretty much every indie band that prog fans hate. I just think it's good stuff. ------------- http://blindpoetrecords.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">

This is insane!
 My God...I can't believe proggers would dislike the first ELO titled "No Answer". I mean of course I do believe it.....but why? It's a little BEATLES influenced, however there are pieces on there which remind me of Gentle Giant and along with the spoken word of Roy Wood.....it's a bizzare album for sure. This is truly a new one on me. |

You must have forgotten because I have absolutely had arguments with people about whether avant-garde music is actually music (the most recent I can recall is with http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72195" rel="nofollow - TheClosing , and you even posted http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68348&PID=3694589#3694589" rel="nofollow - when I for some reason got annoyed enough to make a long post to people who probably didn't even read it). I think the vast majority of prog fans are not free jazz fans, but that's because they've probably never heard of it as much as anything else (which is why I said nobody cares). ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

| You're right, I remember those debates. I never really read them, especially since I knew my side of the debate was in good hands (yours), but my impression was that those debates are most about the nature of music and avantgarde music rather than about free jazz in particular. |
