Chronologically they're proto-punk but they sound quite post-punk to me

Ah, genre definition debates, the crème de la crème of MusicBanter discussions. Can we do grunge next? Or is that not punk enough?

Who gives a **** about grunge genre debates? I mean who the **** really needs to know if Screaming Trees are actually the same genre as Gruntruck?

Oh and btw I wouldn't really be willing to call The Cars a favorite band but they've got god tier pop hooks.

Lol. The classic prog-rock bands had already proven that experimental, even alien sounding music could sell and build audiences independent of whatever pop flavor of the month was charting. Punk was a reaction to that and disco.

I thought prog proved that audiences didn't actually want the natural progression of Cream and Jimmie Hendrix because prog didn't actually sell well.

Yes's Close To Edge had over 450,000 pre-orders before it was released in 1972. Took it until 1998 to break 1 million sales though. And I think Emerson, Lake & Palmer sold way more than that.

So one album didn't go platinum, and another sold something or other, and how much did other prog albums sell? Cause unless prog had a bunch of high selling albums then prog failed commercially.

Well, Rush's 2112 also broke 500k plus sales well into 1977, which was supposedly when punk was on the rise. So I think progressive rock must have been perceived as doing pretty good between all the big names over that ten year period, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a backlash.
