Instead they merged a truck load of genres in into one package taking into account all the properties of rock music: simplicity, repetition, minimalism.
Do you ever get tired of being a parrot for pretentious twat music critics?

Pink Floyd: Because they were the less prog of all the english prog bands. And actually had a good songwriter. Ignoring the post-Syd, pre-Darkside period they always knew how to trim the fat and drop all the pointless demostration of "talent" in over long, over the top compositions. I do love Echoes and Carefull with that Axe, Eugene.
Oh for f*ck's sake.

Stay out of the prog section then.
