    man, HitNF. i can remember waiting with baited breath for its release
    date. i was so completely blown away by Promised Land, plus being a
    longtime fan to begin with, i couldn't wait to get my hands on the (at the
    time) new QR disc. i can remember clearly being on vacation in Ohio with
    my family, and why anyone vacations in Ohio (short of the R&R Hall of
    Fame), i have no idea. anyhow, we stopped by a Sam Goody, i believe, and
    THERE IT WAS. paid the $14, or something close to it. got back in the
    car, spun it in the discman, and after about 25-30 minutes i realized,
    very dejectedly, that i had just invested in a $14 drink coaster.....

    but hey, it completes the collection, right?? yeah, that justifies it...

    Amen Karyn. You have put into words my exact thoughts. Prog can be very very emotional, and perhaps even more so than other more simple music. I believe that the very nature of prog music being diverse and changing throughout a song gives an even better possibility of expressing feelings, since those changes can be used to portray emotional changes in the lyrics or music. And even though some of the lyrics are about fantasy and stuff like that (take Rhapsody, for example, and a bunch of concept albums), I believe many of the lyrics are about real life and people expressing their feelings. OK, sometimes the persons writing the lyrics try to make them a little too elaborate and perhaps the feelings they're trying to portray are harder to perceive because of the complex images, but that does not mean that there's less feeling in them. And the fact that the music is more complicated does not subtract from the feeling. I know there are extremes in complexity that probably h! ave an insignificant amount of emotional content, but good prog musicians know how to strike a balance. For me, the perfect example of prog emotion is the song "Only a Matter of Time".

    And about expressive vocals, I agree that Daniel Gildenlow portrays a lot of emotion in his singing. There's another singer who IMO is as emotional in his singing as DG, and that is Devin Townsend. Whenever that guy opens his mouth (coupled with his very emotional music), feelings just spill from it. BTW, his new album Accelerated Evolution is brilliant. It's like a mix between Terria and Ocean Machine.

    Once again, has anybody heard the album called Genius Rock Opera? If so, please post your comments about it since I'm quite curious because of the musicians involved in it.

    Actually I wasn't thinking of them, although now that you say it, IIRC all 3 of them previously had worked with Eberhard Schoener. What I was thinking of were bands like Ideal, some member (sorry, can't remember the name) of which had played with Volker Kriegel. That's not to say that punk musicians might have had not some training otherwise, e.g. just comparing the Sex Pistols with the Stranglers... There also were fusion bands like Missus Beastly, Aera and even Embryo (as documented in some of the tracks published on "La Blama Sparozzi" 1982) who tried to  at times, more, most often less convincingly (which also led the former 2 to call it the day...)  incorporate New Wave elements.

    >Whether you're talking about Punk, Prog, or whatever, there are people who >are genuine, and others who are just imitating. Hell, it's interesting >that the imitators _act_ so much more serious about the ideals than the >original forefathers of the movements did.

    Yup.

    >I do understand what you're saying. Perhaps your approach to music is >due to your musical training or in how your brain processes information >(especially when you are trying to express your thoughts) or from your >experiences and influences.

    Probably. I'm really not uncomplicated in *all* areas of life ;-)

    >I have no problem with the existence of "odd" time-signatures. Not >everyone plays or even thinks in 4/4.

    Yeah, it's funny, I didn't consider my education particularly decent, but when I wanted to get in a band I had to let myself explain that by far most of rock music would be in 4/4. Duh!

    >In my not-quite-so-humble opinion, in truly great works of art, the >emotions of the artist resonate with the audience. One does not have to >be told that something is great when one experiences its greatness.

    The problem is that many great works only can be fully appreciated with some background. Such "resonance" can be an outspoken elitist thing as with the sahrdaya ("together-heartedness") of Medieval dhrupad musicians of Northern India and their noble patrons.

    Music is partly direct expression, but also largely a conventionalized expression. That also holds true for punk or even dancefloor, where it's just about conventions that a larger audience has been gotten used to and is able to effortlessly recognize.

    Well, I know how that disbanding thing goes, so I restrain from seeing that as a criterion ;-) But I agree, insofar I *do* like (and practice) concise writing (even if I know I will never come to be liked by people who need redundancy  and not just for taking an "emotional footbath" as one of my teachers used to call it...).

    I think you may still have a chance with them. Check out Remedy Lane or The Perfect Element. Those two are, IMHO, a couple of the best recordings ever made. In the same class as I&W, Awake, Mindcrime, Rage for Order, etc.

    While being a huge fan of PoS, I have to say that OHbtCL is my least favorite. On a scale of 1 to 10, I might give it an 8. (the others are 10's). I really appreciate OHbtCL; it has a great sound, and there's nothing I can point to as not being good, but it just doesn't completely click for me.

    Hmmm. Good question. They do sound old NOW don't they? At this point, asking "what's so good about QR" is like asking what's so good about Led Zeppelin or Jimi Hendrix. Let's just say that at the time, QR was ahead of their time. They were pushing the metal genre forward, changing it, adding to it. They ended up being called "progressive metal" because of this (they were the first band I ever heard that label applied to). They started out as great metal in the Iron Maiden mold, and really pushed it forward with Rage for Order. Most metal fans (especially musicians) were huge QR fans back then, and they had the same kind of following and respect that DT has today. The whole irony of the QR/DT/FW tour is that DT and FW are the most successful bands that started out as QR clones. Most (not all) of DT's early fans were QR fans that jumped ship after QR started to go downhill. And FW got attention with the addition of Ray Alder, who everyone said was nothing more than a Geoff Tate clone. (They had a career before Ray, especially the classic AtG, but they never got any mainstream attention until Ray came out, and they rode the QR wave).

    Hope that helps.

    p.s. It is interesting that a band like Rush was not the first to be called "progressive metal", but back then, it seems like they were just called "hard rock" (2112 era), or maybe "heavy metal".

    Wow I really have to disagree with that Dream Theater started out as a Queensryche clone. There's certainly some Queensryche influence, among lots of other bands, but to my ears there's a lot more Rush influence in early Dream Theater than anything else.

    But Thor Queensryche were definitely everything he said they were, and I'd recommend giving Mindcrime several full spins before dismissing it.

    > p.s. It is interesting that a band like Rush was not > the first to be called "progressive metal", but back > then, it seems like they were just called "hard rock" > (2112 era), or maybe "heavy metal".

    I've heard early Rush refered to as progressive metal, and I've heard people say that they "invented" progressive metal. I don't think any one band can be given credit for inventing it, but I certainly do agree that Rush is among the pioneers of the genre.

    Exactly, you couldn't have been more clear. I remember back when I listened to non-prog bands like Metallica, I liked the most the more complex songs, with mood changes and more than *one* riff. I later came to realize I liked the "proggy" aspects of music even before I listened to ANY prog band.

    Its a sad thing people don't understand this when you tell them Blink 182 sucks :)

    Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 16:10:38 -0600 From: "Bruce Forst" <bforst@peoplepc.com> To: <ytsejam@torchsong.com> Subject: on punk and prog Message-ID: <001501c2f7d2$5d4b3d40$3996e143@oemcomputer>

    I have gotten into tons of trouble trying to convince people that listen to pop and punk to give prog a fair listen. I tell them that there is a level of musical ability that makes listening to prog a joy. Good prog musicians are also turned on by good composition, and the best prog is beautiful in intent as it is in content.

    But.. (uh oh..)

    Prog and punk are almost flip sides of the same coin. Prog is a homage to form and complexity while punk pays tribute to anti-form and chaos. What most contentious people on either side of the debate usually fail to realize is that both sides of this coin offer insights into life. Punk people claim that prog is soul-less and a slave to its own virtuoisity and Prog advocates claim that punk is devoid of talent and discipline.

    At best, life itself it at once messy and routine, complex and simple. Prog and Punk seem to both take the same route, to highlight extremes of human existence in an art form. Their devotees tend to gravitate towards either musical style as an extention of their outlook. The worst of either genre usually takes this to an extreme. The best tend to lean in one direction while not forsaking the other. I see pop as the vast grey area in the middle that produces occasional bursts of genius and plenty of mediocre efforts.

    As a musician I tend to listen to prog more than anything, but as a political being I like what punk has to say. Frankly, most prog musicians don't say much. I speculate that many have trouble taking risks on unpredictable results. Punk musicians seem to embrace a more risky approach and tempt people to hate them. Both these tendencies are as result of the undercurrents that lead musicians in their artistic directions. I was amazed at how politically astute and intellectually curious punk listeners were when I started being politically active. Many became politically aware through music. But I still think the music itself kinda sucks.

    Folk seems to take the best of both worlds, for me at least. Talented musicians with a strong political voice. Jazz is a great mixture as well, when at its best it blends musical chaos with insane musical talent. Though it leaves out the overt politcal, usually.

    Just some thoughts on the subject, all speculation of course.

    i hear several bands being mentioned as examples of "prog" music. my question is this: are marilion and todd rundgren also considered "prog" and why/why not? i would imagine they are, as are peter gabriel (sp), king crimson, and yes. ok, another question: what about the band chicago? i'm using the song 29 or six to four as an example.

    thanks jacko

    ps i saw marilion and rundgren on a double bill in the 80's. good concert.

    Actually, I was under the impression that the DT page had an April Fol's joke every year. Nothing yet though.
