assistant: Alternate/Progressive??? Hello! This is about Progressive Rock of the
60's/70's not that crap! Right? Alternate rock is all garbage to me.
But Progressive ROCK of the 70's! No Metal,Not Progressive Metal,just
the Great's like:Genesis,Yes,Pink Floyd(real ACID
ROCK),Camel,Marillion,Kayak,King Crimson,Caravan,FM,PFM,etc. Are all
great examples of PURE PROG ROCK! Check out some of the Prog bands of
