In Reply to: does *progressive* rock have to be influential to be called progressive rock? [no text] posted by Hi-Fi Nut on June 10, 2012 at 04:12:42:
Mostly j/k...
So much of what I used to listen to decades ago is called progressive nowadays. I probably never would have listened to it back then if it had been called progressive, because I generally didn't like that stuff.
Nowadays, from what I've heard, "progressive" means elevator music. Stuff that I'd listen to on my death bed (and who the hell buys these death beds anyways?). Sorry.
IOW the definition of "progressive" music has changed a lot since the 70s. Somewhere along the line "alternative" and "progressive" got jumbled together.
