I think our plucky young friend means that all that **** going on isn't intesting, its movement for the sake of function, its robotic, it moves in directions because it should, because thats how the music goes. Theres no art to it. Prog music mostly walks or dirves, and when it drives it stays the speed limit, changing lanes only when signaling and always with a seat belt on.
Other genres seem to waltz, strut, stumble, sprint, and sometimes roll, and they could drive but its usually a jalope or a rocket ship and they might have added a seat belt, but they didn't see how that made getting there any faster or fun... Or maybe he didn't mean that at all. I'm just sayin'

You could say punk is simple or anti-prog for the sake of it as well. But it's not true.
You could say a lot of alt rock bands are pretentious for having unnecessarily long song tracks. But it's not true. You could say jazz exists for the purpose of having different chord progressions. But it's not true. In the same way, to stating that prog is long/technical for the sake of it isn't true.

I don't find prog interesting, I find it boring and all the same and very unpassionate sounding. All of the solos seem to drag on and on for the sake of it, which is my biggest problem with all these metal bands everyone around here hypes. I don't find it interesting at all I find it boring and robotic. |

You obviously don't know the slighest f*cking thing about prog. Aside from having stolen that comment from pretentious Pitchfork reviews 101, everything you just said is about as well informed as Michael Savages opinions on foreign affairs... I'll gladly disect your words as they are simply begging for criticism. Quote:

Clearly we have very different preferences in art... You prefer music that suggests modernism and absract expressionism (which I dispise, but wont deny as an art form) where no discipline and just a vague understanding of the painting process is required while I prefer music that suggests impressionism and post-impressionism where at least some discipline and craftsmanship is key... The main difference here is I only talk about my preference and bands I think are either good or bad regardless of their genre, because I don't think a genre determines weither a band will be good or not. You talk about a whole bunch of unnecessary restrictions and what music should and shouldn't be... But in reality there is nothing that music needs other than the 3 things that make the basis for all music theory, which is Melody, Harmony and Rhythm. Its really funny, you're giving out all these made up rules that need to be followed in order to make "good" music, but at the same time praise forms of music like punk for not following the rules... Pretty hypocritical if you ask me. Quote:
