i knew that wouldn't go unchallenged.
hey, to each his own, which is why i don't make sweeping statements in regard to taste.
most of what yes has done since GFTO hasn't
really been "prog" by today's definition.
take "the ladder" fr'instance- "if only you knew"(ick)
is AOR, "nine voices" could be classified as "world",
although a very "progressive" piece.
we have to split the hair of "prog the genre",
and playing progressively, which is an artistic
statement, advancing music in general.
the death of any band or artist is to try and define themselves by a genre label, or worse- to pander to an audience.
my philosophy- "genres are for record stores".
