o prog rock is short for progressive rock which means a more complex type of music than popular music (progressive music has never really been popular because of the neglect it gets because it has more than the sheer simplicity of the music that normal mortals are used to) there are actually alot of types of progressiv (Classic Prog, Prog Rock, Prog Metal) but my fav prog bands are Rush, <The Old>Genesis, Yes, and Gentle Giant...someday i wish to master progressive only with a harder edge (progressive metal)....

[Tele Master]

Well i don't want to know what your favorite progressive rock bands are because I don't care, and you didn't really help answer my question of what it is.

Look; I'm fifteen years old, not much older than yourself. There is no need for you to post things like that on here, unless you want to get flamed (like Metalic Dude). If you want to last on these boards, you have to learn to respect your elders, and by elders, I mean those who have spent more time on this website, have more posts than you, etc. Age is not an excuse for posting like that. I'm not trying to rip on you or anything, just giving some helpful tips.

Matt is known for making a custom replica of Jerry Garcia's Tiger, Wolf, and Rosebud guitars. He doesn't have pictures of Tiger/Wolf/Rosebud on that particular website, but has them posted on a Yahoo Group called Gearheads, as in "Grateful Dead Gear", not as in car parts.....:D

Caps and tantrums... :D lol

I like prog rock too, I'd reckon those guys just start the recorder on start jamming cause as far as chord structures concerned it all over the place, compared to "normal" songs prog rock doesn't repeat (e.g verse chorus verse chorus). Which is great to hear if done properly cause the music has various moods, slow then fast then slow etc, quiet then loud.. alternates frequently.

Well I don't know the textbook definition but that's my interpretation :)

Btw where can you get definitions of styles? e.g. alternative (wtf is that?), grunge (wtf is that x2), hmm what else is there? What would you call Yngwie's style? Classical rock or Baroque (is that how you spell it?). Give me some example :)

[Azrael]

well - "Progressive" means advanced, evoled, new, etc.

Here is what http://hem.passagen.se says about progressive rock:

Progressive Rock music is exactly what it says it is, music that follows traditional Rock music instrumentation for the most part, yet is prepared to take ideas further than the confines of the pop or rock song. Different bands acheive this in a variety of different ways, through either the use and embracement of new technologies, through the use of lyrics that stimulate the imagination and consciousness, through the development of musical themes, the use of different time signatures, dynamics, and arrangements of innovation. Progressive Rock is sometimes "Classical" in sound, sometimes very heavy, it usually relies on the skill of musicians (but not always). It promotes the use of instrumental sections and entire pieces, encourages experimentation. Musical influences range from Folk, thru Classical, jazz and of course Rock music. The length of pieces is not confined to 4 minute songs, and the rhyhmic feel is not always designed for dancing. Its primary purpose in life is for listening, its not background music usually, it's not "easy listening" music. It's a pure musical experience, which is possibly why the music press and radio stations hate it so much.

i think that hits the nail on the head
