Progged Rock
Any Progressive rock fans here?
What musical characteristics define this genre?
I like real, genuine progressive rock, yes.
Progged rock is almost like heavy metal only more sophisticated, probably with Orchastra in it.
Like Evanescence?
Evanescence is about as far from prog rock as you can get...
Not a fan of prog rock, though, except for Tool.
Oh, and Dream Theater for comedy value...

I kinda get it now. Grace Jones' "Slave to the Rhythm" classifies under the term.
Master Kirobaito does not approve of this thread.
Then maybe Britney Spears is Progged Rock!
Not spam enough, I think. Inserting country snippets would increase spamhood.
I understand now. I'm not a big fan, although I really like some of the songs that have come out of the genre. Some Tool songs, I guess Pink Floyd fits under this classification as well. Does Radiohead count or is that too far away from rock to be part of it? I personally think Radiohead is unclassifiable...
Evanescence is probably the worst sufferer of bad genre classification. It isn't pop-goth, goth-rock, pop, progressive, or emo. It's actually more like classical music than anything else, or at least the older stuff is. The newer Evanescence music is more soft rock, with ochestra in some songs.
Ochestra = <3, but I don't really know any progressive bands. Can you name a few?
There's alot of things people don't approve of. Like pants.
Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, ELP, etc.
