Prog = odd timings and chord progressions in the context of traditional songwriting.

Post Rock = odd timing and chord progression in the context of doing the opposite of what a traditional songwriter would (usually ends up meaning its just really slow and droning...though there are exceptions)

Math Rock = Odd timing and chord progression with absolutely no regard for traditional songwriting...the math writes the music, basically.

Other people may have other opinions on this, but that is how I distinguish them in my head.

That's actually a pretty clear distinction Duga.... I kinda like it... I think I'll tune my mindset the same way when i am thinking of the three genres you just described.

That's pretty good, I'll accept that. When prog bands use classical music structures or jazzy improvisation that's still following tradition. I do think Post rock and Math rock are consistant with the ideals of avant garde.

Don't be ashamed. "Breath" was a jam.

I've never listened to a Beach Boys album in its entirety.

There, I said it.

People will tell you they have, it is distinctly possible that they're bare-faced liars, of course.
