No Jazz or Punk? I always thought Prog has borrowed a lot from Jazz. It was Ahmet Ertegun who once passed up The Beatles wanted to sign the next big thing signed bands like Led Zeppelin and ABBA also signed Yes. I know he was a total fan of Jazz, and I'm guessing he likes those bands as well. Who says you can't be in Blues Rock, Pop, Prog, and Jazz all at once?
Trollheart I think you can like both Jazz and Prog and survive.
