Re: Why does the USA still love Prog?

I don't know how you all feel, but as I evolved musically, I went from the more simple to the more complex. I don't mean to sound elitist about my taste, but it's just how it evolved. I started out in the 60s with top 40 and surf music because I wasn't into the Beatles like EVERYONE was (though today I can appreciate some of their music). Toward the later 60s and early 70s I got into classical and jazz, and jazz-rock in terms of popular music. I also liked what the "underground" FM stations played, like the long version of Light my Fire, or In the Court of the Crimsom King. Then, around the late 70s, I rented a room from a drummer. He was bored by 4/4 and introduced me to Genesis, Gentle Giant, Yes, Bruford, et al. I was hooked! Have been ever since. I still enjoy classical and jazz, but no more pop for me.

Long live prog!
