I have no problem with a sub-forum, and don't think that you're asking too much.

i voted yes to having a prog forum, it would be nice to have more variety in the forums and to see a forum that will cover more to people's tastes if they like that sort of music and that cant be a bad thing, and i think that as long as new posts are put in there alot of the time i dont think it should suffer from a lack of intrest in it.

Yeah, prog is a great genre- I'm a big fan of Rush and Dream Theater too.

i think that there should be a classic rock forum. It would keep there from being a hell of a lot of arguing between the people who can appreciate classic rock and the people who think that it is old regurgitated garbage and that new music is the only way to go. then, maybe a prog. forum but only after a classic rock forum is made.

Classic Rock is not a genre, Prog is, i hope you can tell the difference.

Classic Rock would do fine in the rock and metal forum, Prog however is in much more need of a forum of its own.

well then progressive rock would do fine in the rock and metal forum too then since it is progressive ROCK

You are a idiot you do realize that.

Progressive rock is a genre of its own...Its about as far from traditional rock as any rock genre in existance, if Punk has its own forum, so should Prog...Classic Rock however is not a genre of its own, its just Rock period, its not a specific term, its just a lame way to put every popular rock band from the 60s and 70s into one catagory.

And that post clearly proves you know nothing about progressive rock, sure people call it "rock"...But the reason it is called "progressive rock" is because its as far from standard rock as humanly possible, its a "progression" from basic rock music, falling into a class all its own, you could call it "anti rock" for all i care....My point is, if i made a thread about Yes or Genesis, all the threads about Norma Jean and Slipknot would make those threads seem awfuly out of place, which is why i feel we could use a prog forum, or at least a prog sub forum.

my point exactly as to why we need a classic rock forum, to keep the slipknot and korn and green day etc. posts seperate from the beatles, zeppelin, stones, etc. posts. And last I knew i could hear pink floyd on my classic ROCK station, as i could hear yes, rush, genesis, jethro tull, the moody blues, even king crimson from now and then, so i consider prog. part of the rock genre
