Classical Music on Aural Moon

[ivan_2068]

Perhaps it's a matter of taste then that prog to me is much closer to jazz than to classical.

Well Byzantium, there are different branchs or sub-genres of Prog music, but Symphonic Prog (Yes, Genesis, etc) and Classic Prog' (ELP, Le Orme, The Nice) are much more closer to classical music, Symphonic to Baroque and Classic to Modern.

Of course there are some other sub genres that are closer to Jazz, like Fusion, Space Prog', Progressive Fusion and Progressive Space Fusion or even Canterbury.

Are you saying that prog is closer to classical music than to rock music?

IMO Progressive is not close to Rock, Progerssive IS rock with other genres influence.
