Titolo: What's prog Re: Spock's Beard - what's the problem?

Because 'Progressive' is a style, not an adjective.
Progressive can be a religion, a reason to live, never simply a style.
Is working without sleeping all night after 10 hours of real work,
it's getting crazy for a band like Kopecky or Hand Farm that have
problems to get a contract in USA because they don't play *mainstream
prog in AOR or metal style*.
Prog is waisting thousands of $$ only to realize a dream.
Prog is fighting every day against people who don't want to
understand.
Prog is a mission, not a style.

 Liquid Tension Experiment is prog-metal.
Is there really anyone out there still thinking that DT , SB or LTE play prog?
ROTFL!

dallo a me...come cavolo si dice "cazzata"?

ROTFL!
That's the reason why progressive has always been a european affair
and US fans are crazy for italian prog of the seventies.
How could they survive to Journey, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Boston and
latest Kansas has always been a mystery to me....
After years of this shit even Spock's Beard will appear to them as
Gods.
Gods of shit, of course.

bullshit

How would you explain this "american lack of progressiveness"?
Has it something to do with the roots of american music?
Or is it the fact that classical music mostly comes from Europe?


 Blues and country generally don't mingle well with progressive rock.
Truer words were seldom spoken.

 progressive rock.
Some King Crimson and Gentle Giant music does have some blues-rock like elements.

	Would you group bluegrass in with country? Steve Howe has used some
Chet Atkins-styled licks that have worked rather well. And let's not
discount David Gilmour on the blues end of things. Of course these are
two rare examples, I'll grant you.

Steve How style is very much influenced by country music. Kansas was defenitely
influeced by country and blues
For blues, Manfred Mann's Eartband and High Tide, anyone ? :)

My point exactly.

Of course there is.  LTE is prog without question.  SB is prog for the
most part, though they have gotten a little bit more mainstream of
late.  DT is definitely prog, especially with the release of Scenes From
A memory, a prog epic.

 Gods of shit, of course.
What the hell is wrong with Kansas?

Don't laught too much, dear Capra.
Thomas Arena is a typical example of the worst sides of American
progsters.
That are still miles and miles far from us europeans, when you talk
about good tastes.

Didn't Toto used to be in Kansas?

I realise my opinions may not be original, but they fit me perfectly.
Hurt myself this morning,
Doctor gave me warning,
Sent me to my room and told me that I'm bad.

 about good tastes.
Geez, you don't think you're both slightly, ahem, arrogant here?
Not to mention, wrong? I mean, if you can't hear that
DT are both "prog" (in that they include elements
from 70s prog in their music, like odd time meters,
instrumental virtuosity etc.) and "progressive" (in the
sense that they have an eclectic approach to music and
try to create their own style), YOU'RE DEAF!!! OPEN YOUR EARS 
PLEASE!
Richard

PLEASE!
I hear element from metal music (nothing wrong in this) with a lot of
virtuosity.
Excellent metal stuff.
Absolutely nothing progressive, except a few keyboards passages.

that last 'i' in your surname is actually superfluous
Poor boy, after years of Ezra, Gray Lady Down, Grace, Credo, Jump,
Citizen Cain, World Turtle, Haze, Jadis, Landmarq, etc.. even a
mediocre music like the beards sounds like heaven to your poor ears...
Try italian prog: you will feel a new man.		


 that last 'i' in your surname is actually superfluous.
It's mostly bits of AORish-sounding compositions strung together in a Prog
fashion, though. I don't know how 'pure' that makes it, but it's a pretty
valid comment, I think.
And, oh, the 'Moroni = moron' joke is actually lamer than anything Mauro has
posted himself. A tall order indeed.

This is a kind of thing that makes me angry.
Must we all shut up 'cause we dont speak English Well ?
I don't guess so. We are improving
our knowledge even if we don't express too well.
Ideas are more important.

Italian Prog is one of the best wholewide
maybe behind Britain
and together with Spain.
Behind them comes Swedish, Hungarian and Brazilian.
But try to listen carefully to Citizen Cain.
It's not just a clone. Only to unattentioned ears.
