Lol, it's funny that he put this in the Unpopular opinions thread. It's pretty hip to hate Prog me thinks.

I'd say. I don't mind that some people hate prog but stuff like this is just asinine.

Death to the Beatles.
The History Of Punk - Art Or Revolution?
History Of Punk - Genesis, ELP & Yes
The History Of Punk - Tommy, Jethro Tull, Rick Wakeman & King Crimson

I know some prog fans can be pretty closed minded too, but goddamn, nothing like a bitter old limey punk to get under this proggies skin.

Yeah, the original movement(s) for both genres have been dead for years and years.

Yeah, but theres always new movements.

And I must say, prog is doing a lot better than punk right now, we have a lot of hot bands coming out of the woodwork that are prog (TMV, Battles, Muse, Oceansize, Kayo Dot, Coheed & Cambria, Fall of Troy, Mew, Secret Machines) while no punk band has been relevant since the 90s.

So yeah, thats great irony considering some people never seem to shut up about how "punk killed prog"

Which was never true, prog collapsed under its own weight and overexposure, punk just further pushed it into obscurity. But now that we have a lot of these bands bringing the genre back on its feet and making it relevant again, well I think its great.

Well Muse have been kinda iffy about being called prog even though they list Yes as one of their biggest influences, but this man has been quoted for saying they're prog.



I'd take his word for it.

Progressive music was better after punk anyway.

I'd much rather listen to Current 93 or Psychic TV than Genesis or any sh*t with a Roger Dean cover.
