Progressive rock as a cultural phenomenon

I like Rogor's explanation the best.....but i like boring and commercial on occasion.

Maybe some things are better unanalyzed.

I know what you mean Rick. I like some commercial music too. As you know that even extends to Barry Manilow and Doris Day. As for not analyzing (with the emphasis on the anal ) things, I think it was prog music that made me WANT to analyze things. Learning more about the reasons things happen enhance my enjoyment of them. Knowing a little more about a composer's state of mind when a piece was written make it even more meaningful.

Not sure that extends to Gangsta Rap though.
