Prog Debate (alternative, indie, metal, pop, punk)

I wouldn't say it was Radiohead bashing at all to be honest. All I said was they haven't contributed anything new to music and thus should not be regarded as progressive.

"Prog" is not some banner term that covers any sort of experimental/arty rock music.

Actually i would consider Radiohead prog in a way. They did break down a lot of barriers and go places no one's ever gone before.

I wouldn't consider Radiohead prog. I would just throw them into Alternative

I throw them into "rubbish" but then again that's baselessly attacking them so I won't say that.

Haven't contributed anything new? Um, have you ever listened to them beyond their nineties chart hits? Their sound is entirely distinct and unique, and began with them. Far as goes what they've done with sound, they're one of the most experimental, inventive pop bands that have ever been.

Um, how is Radiohead not progressive?

Name something that sounds like Kid A and came before them? No? Didn't think so.

I think what we have here, is one of those people who hasn't even heard their work properly.

Well it could be argued all they did was raid Warp Records back catalogue.

But then they were the first rock band that did it , and they did it better.

You said you despised them.

Which is stating my opinion and not once bashing their music

I've gone on to later bash them in the thread though, because they are baseless crap that people with no lives listen to in order to make them feel special or part of a group.
