Any band that started in the 70's that's still recording today? :-)
No, not really, but I kindof agree that I don't know what "progressive"
means for new bands, it's not a genre that I tend to think of as one
that new artists enter.

I have a CD by a Seattle band called The Puddle Jumpers which desperately
wants to be 70's progressive. (A 1996 release.)

Oh, I think they're defunct now, but there was an interesting band called
Echolyn that was doing the prog rock thing in the 90s...

I typically use this yardstick for progressive rock...
Any bands that attempt ambitious arrangement with high symbolic content and
attention to fidelity with a core guitar/synth/bass/drum setup usually
qualify.

I guess I'd say a progressive band is one that wants to do more with a rock
lineup than make rock songs (and money).

Thinking about it, though, it doesn't really work. I mean, there's also a
certain _sound_ that you associate with Prog Rock - very epic, very
synth-and-guitar. So there are some bands doing very creative things in a
rock framework that don't really have that sound, and I don't know if I'd call
them Prog or not.

I pulled a rather large fuzzy ball of fugazi out of my bellybutton this
morning. Imagine my surprise!!

Looks like Yes has a new album out. Haven't really heard much of their stuff
after _Union_. As much as I like Jon Anderson's distinctive voice, I've found
his solo albums somewhat disappointing. In fact, they've gotten downright
weird. So, I'm glad to see he's back at it with the gang (or at least Steve
Howe and a few others).

Apparently, there's now a _Tubular Bells III_ in the works from Mike Oldfield.
This has never really been my favorite vein of Oldfield, although I saw him
perform _Tubular Bells 2_ live.

I'd thought that was more new-agey stuff...

Oldfield is often placed in new age sections because of his heavy use of
synthesizers. But he really sits more squarely in the progressive rock
field, as he plays guitar, himself, and many of his pieces are longer and
more intricate.

I've got some classic prog rock that you'll have to check out, sometime. Good

As we drift closer and closer to another gulf war, I find myself listening
to Roger Waters' _Amused to Death_ (1992) more and more.

Yeah? How's that? Also, I found a really great website for any who happen
to be interested in Prog Rock. I don't have the address on me right now, but
I'll post it shortly...

The address is as follows: http://prog.ari.net/prog/GEPR/gepr.html
It is the "Gibralter Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock," and it has reveiws
of bands w/some history, subcatagory listings & definitions, etc...

re 69: That also reminds me of Susan Urban's Gulf War song:
"Only 100 died".

I'm thinking that Tori Amos is basically "progressive rock", when you get down
to it. Discuss...
