I have, but I still know alot alot about it (between talking to you daily, and the education thread). I didn't mean that to come across as prog hatin'. Its just prog really doesn't seem like the kind of genre that needs "thats not progressive enough to be prog", I just think thats a bunch of bullshit.

I agree actualy, elitist prog fans can be just as bad as elitist metal fans.

But i dont consider the elitists to be true fans of prog, to appreciate progressive rock, it requires an open mind to different styles of music, when people make the qualifcations for being prog too strict and compex, it loses its point.

Thats why i had a great time making things clearer for everybody in the prog ed thread.

Well, that was my primary goal anyway.

They are just prog for two different types of people.

DT is for the angsty and alienated teens.

Floyd is for the pretentious and alienated teens.

Come on, you have to admit prog wouldn't have its -meager- popularity if it wasn't for 'the other kids.' This also goes for metal and indie (however taking the extremes of the above archetypes).
Punk and rock don't count because they are marshaled by pop-style exploitation, so they fall loosely in that category.

And just to let you know, I am not biased on this issue at all... I hate both bands equally.

...those are all sub-genres of rock.

I kind of mean the 'PUNK RAWK' and 'ROCK 'N ROLL ******' (good song btw) camps of popular music.

Is this really a serious question??? Were talking about Pink Floyd here. And to even begin to compare them to dream theater... nooooooooo

Pink Floyd is just an average post-rock band. That's the way I see them anyway.
