I bet the argument originates back to peasants talking **** on symphonies.
There are more than enough ways to **** on prog heads without denying the dictionary. But on the other hand everybody's got talents of some sort, but I'm not gonna call them talented as that would detract from people who deserve to be called talented. I'd say that Genesis are talented players (I guess, I'm not a good judge of that), but I wouldn't call them particularly talented since they come up too short in other important ways that are essential to being a talented artist. Like making music that doesn't suck.
