I never saw a prog', blues, jazz or pop site wasting their space in writting against the other genres. Yes in forums there's a lot of that, but never in an official site.

When Dinosaurs Roamed The Earth...

Know thine enemy. While Glam at least was proving some light relief from bands who had grown massive like the Stones, Who and Led Zeppelin there were an even more pretentious wave of bands who espoused the view that rock was serious and who were dominating the serious weekly music papers. Prog-Rock was  mostly listened to by grubby polytechnic students who wore flares and dufflecoats and never had any girlfriends and who would sit cross-legged at gigs on the floor bonged out of their brains. They would gather in bedsits drinking coffee out of chipped mugs and ponder the meaning of the universe while listening to Yes, Van Der Graaf Generator, Camel, Gentle Giant, Caravan, Greenslade and a thousand others. These people knew what they wanted ..lots of windswept guitar histrionics, gushing key boards, lyrics full of mystical allusions and song titles bearing no relation to the music and almost as long as the music itself ! As you read these you can see why punk had to happen. Weighed own by the weight of its own pretensions the scene was set for someone to point out that the emperor in fact had no clothes on. Read on and learn the horrible truth..........

What serious site would write this crap to promote themselves as the salvation of themusical world? If it wasn't for forums, probably you won't see the word Punk in Progressive sites, because we are sure enough of our taste to worry abouit the rest and waste valuable space in criticizing the rest of the world.

They call us the enemy, most of us don't even care enough about them to consider Punk as an enemy.

Quote Genesis  
Were a full blown prog-rock band, inspired by musical bluster and arcane philosophies, capable of churning out as much barking  nonsense as any of their early Seventies contemporaries, including the magnificently daft Yes. Under the direction of the consummately eccentric Peter Gabriel, Genesis indulged  in all manner of theatrical buffoonery and special effects. While the group turned on the pomp and pyrotechnics, Gabriel would nonce around the stage in a variety of costumes as illustrated. The peak of their absolute foolishness came with the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, a virtually incomprehensible narrative about spiritual awakening spread over a double album. beloved of sixth formers with long hair and greycoats who had too much time on their hands.

Emerson, Lake And Palmer. 
Even the name sounds like a gang of lawyers or estate agents.  They were prog rocks most vulgar trawler men. Their first public appearance, at the Isle of Wight Festival was prefaced by a thunderous cannonade loud enough to wake the long time dead. This was an appropriate fanfare for a group that would be become internationally famous for its bombastic extravagance. ELP produced the ugliest music the world  has yet to endure "Pictures at an Exhibition", Brain Salad Surgery and even a triple live album of dross. Everything they did as dragged own by the weight of their own bloated pretensions, their vivid idiocy, the stupifying grossness that was their unique contribution to early seventies rock. Tipping over a Hammond and stabbing it with a knife to make distorted sounds does not excitement make. For the punter so far back he can see f**k all it might as well be a baboon jumping down on the keyboards.  Unable to come up with anything resembling a decent tune, they regularly vandalised the classics sending several dead Europeans spinning in their graves. The ridiculousness of their music is just so far fetched that you can't help but laugh and wonder at Mark P and Danny Baker who praised them . God ELP were stupid.

Yes . Like Genesis they managed to produce an extra b*****d son to terrorise good taste in the shape of Rick Wakeman. Without doubt the stars of the progressive genre if only for the sheer long windedness of everything they have ever done. The icon for the era has to their magnum opus Tales from Topographic Oceans luckily they made every album identifiable with the godawful Roger Dean designed covers so there was no way you could buy one by accident and you could warn your mum. If by chance you do want to buy them its a credit to Yes that you can buy their whole back catalogue in secondhand record stores for about £5 as people realizing later on in life what sh*te they had bought turned them in their thousands. Topographic Oceans had all of prog rocks defining characteristics in spades.

How this a$$holes dare to talk about drugs in prog??

Or stupid costumes?

Or idiocy?

What serious musical site will criticize a band to show the world how good they supposedly are?

Punk is in essense anti prog, how can you mix both and believe in the possibility of Prog Punk?

Iván

Hey Richard Hell And Devo were great in there day maybe if u would actually listen to some of this music before judging it you would no i think the average prog fan could enjoy Richard Hells Blank Generation theres some great guitar playing going on there the same goes for Devo they were higly influenced by Captain Beefheart,Zappa,Krafwerk and others i wouldnt really call them punk though and for there fashion sence who cares there clothes were kind of funny and werent spousto be taken seriously well actually i think there was some sort of social commentary going on there with there concept of de evolution but im not getting into that Rick Wakeman wore stupid clothes too but u probbably love him (im not dissing wakeman)

now sid viscuous represents whats wrong with punk even most punks hate him except the trendy ones

i think progpunk can exist because i think punk is about being yourself and not caring what others think so if u mix the two u know alot of people wont like it but if u like it and dont care what others think then in my mind its punk.Punk isnt or shouldnt be about fashion or anarchy it should be about being yourself and not being something youre not

so i think punk shouldnt really be a genre it should be a way of approaching music same with prog

now ive confused myself oh well

thats for u ivan u antipunk Prog Hipster

a good punk-prog band is The Fall of Troy.  they are extremely skilled and they use very unique time signatures. theyre coming out with a 6 part song called "ghost ship" where each member of the band will play a character in the story. i would call the fall of troy hardcore/prog. they sond like at the drive-in on speed with the jamming solos of the mars volta.

Captain Sensible is on record as a devoted Soft Machine fan

And he makes some great music himself. Like his 1989 album Revolution Now! with even a 15 minute - epic! One of the many cross-fertilizations between prog and punk.

What about on the Damned Black Album they did a 17 minute epic called curtain call but honestly i didnt really enjoy maybe if i gave it more time but i think machine gun ettiquette is one of the best albums of all time and definetly the best early british punk album imo that album has more psyhc influences like early Soft Machine,Love,The Doors amd other boys i love that album you gys should check it out if you havent already

Punk is the most progressive of any genre. Regression is a type of progression too.

Anyway, punk itself isn't so bad (though not anything I'd listen to often). Pop-punk is terrible.

oooh oohh...sir...sir......I know this......its Steve Vai sir!

Problem is the liner note give you zilch - and it is Lydon least favourite album. However, with Vai, add Ginger Baker (and a couple rumours suggest Tony Williams), Jonas Hellborg - e.g. part of the musical collective Bill Laswell (i.e. Compact Disc's producer), had on his label Axiom and Jonas Hellborg had on his label Day Eight Music! In other words, musicians you don't normally associate with punk!

Hehehe... Totally agree!!!!

And as can be seen by Dick Heaths posts exactly how fine the line is between various genres of music.

Sorry Andrew, such comments piss me off and provoke the reaction:  you haven't heard enough prog or understand what it is about!  Prog fans shouldn't be so close minded - prog musicians aren't:

Live in Concert [Live]  
The Stranglers & Friends  (Artist)

1. Introduction - Jet Black, The Stranglers
2. (Get A) Grip (On Yourself) - Hazel O'Connor, Robert Smith, The Stranglers
3. Hanging Around - Hazel O'Connor, Robert Smith, The Stranglers
4. Tank - Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill, The Stranglers
5. Threatened - Robert Fripp, The Stranglers
6. Toiler on the Sea - Phil Daniels, Robert Fripp, The Stranglers
7. Raven - Basil Gabbidon, Peter Hammill, The Stranglers
8. Dead Loss Angeles - Phil Daniels, Wilko Johnson, The Stranglers
9. Nice 'N' Sleazy - Basil Gabbidon, The Stranglers, Nicky Tesco, Nik Turner
10. Bring on the Nubiles - Richard Jobson, Wilko Johnson, The Stranglers
11. Peaches - Ian Dury, Wilko Johnson, Davey Payne, The Stranglers, Toyah Wilcox
12. Bear Cage - Ian Dury, Mathieu Hartley, Wilko Johnson, Davey Payne, The Stranglers,
13. Duchess - The Stranglers, Toyah Wilcox
14. No More Heroes - Richard Jobson, The Stranglers
15. Five Minutes - Richard Jobson, The Stranglers, Larry Wallis
16. Something Better Change - Steve Hillage, The Stranglers, Toyah Wilcox
17. Down in the Sewer - Jake Burns, Jake Burns & The Big Wheel, Phil Daniels, Ian Dury, Robert Fripp, Basil Gabbidon, Peter Hammill, The Stranglers

 

Just reminded myself that the late great Ian Drury, although dubbed 'punk pub rock' originally, continued the traditions of the British musical hall into pop and rock, very much as Genesis and many other prog bands did. He and his co-writer, were also heaviliy influenced by jazz: Sex & Drugs & Rock'n'Roll, has a bass riff directly lifted from an Ornette Coleman tune.

Further. Chris Spedding, from being in a seminal jazz rock group Nucleus, formed Sharks (rock blues with a West Indian feel) with Andy Frazer (ex. Free), is found on Roy Harper's progressist album HQ (having replaced Dave Gilmour - Bill Bruford is there too) and then his session work took him to work with the Sex Pistols. It's claimed the first single by that band released, in fact has an opening riff invented by Spedding. Spedding was attracted by punk to the extend he worked with the Vibrators and had a few hits himself, e.g Get Outta My Pagoda.

XTC appeared on the back on punk (Making Plans For Nigel was a major punk hit in the UK), and look at the praise they get on this site. The Police also appeared with the rise of punk, and look at their roots: Soft Machine, Curved Air and a NE English touring jazz  rock group - they evolved regatta d'blanc (aka 'blue eyed reggae') at the height of punk, a form of which Rush experimental with after Police folded.

And check out who is supporting John Lydon on post-punk PIL's Compact Disc.

I Agree these bands are more progresive as in progressing music to something new and innovative than 70% of the bands listed on this site sorry it is true

does anybody hear like Crass i wouldnt say they are prog at all  but they have a kind of noise experimental side and i think some of it reminds me of Gong for some reason

Someone earlier mentioned Primus as prog punk!!!
Maybe prog, but deffinitly not punk! Anyway, I don't think there can be prog punk, because if it was really complex and long or anything, it would no longer be punk.

I hate punk, by the way.
