Wow, funny guy. Semi prog is a band thats progressive but not exactly pure prog, kinda like how Guns N Roses are semi metal...Its not a genre, just a term.

Neo Prog was a term used to describe the progressive rock movement in the 80s, so it was really more of a movement than a genre or a direct classification, which sounds silly i agree...And i have never even heard the term Nu-Prog before so im pretty sure you made it up. I love your dry sarcasm, seriously.

Oh cool, I actually read the list of prog. bands and I like a few of them. Prog. like Pink Floyd makes me want to sleep because it is melodic not because it is boring.
