Hey...just call it "Rock" for all I care.
It's not like Borders or B&N has a "Prog" section.
As I said to someone else, probably before you joined- in the 70's we didn't
see Yes, Crimson, The Who, Deep Purple, Led Zep ect. as being
anything other than Rock.
Comparing bands as diverse as Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Procol Harum,
lumping them into a category is ridiculous IMO.
It's evolved from a device for making store navigation easier,
to a device for appearing artsy, I.E.- We play " Triphiphousemetalfunk ".
It goes along w/ those junked out Brit dudes on MTV saying
"We recorded the entire album in 3 hours..."
As a listener, I agree it's out of hand. As an artist, I'll take
every
advantage available to point someone in the right direction,
or help lead some Goth salesgirl to my music when asked.
