Re: Were the Tubes prog?

While they were certainly 'progressive' to music and furthered the progression of the growth in music stylings of that time, I could not group them in the genre of Progressive Rock.

Their use of electronics and a variety of genres fused together still were guided by a heavier influence of punk and new wave rock. I can listen to their music right along with Prog anytime, as I do many other similar groups that are not considered Prog, but I would not put them in the same genre.

Wouldn't mind hearing them here once in a while on an occasional "not quite prog" show.
