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:
I'm in my 60s now. I liked King Crimson from the moment I heard them in the late 60s. Same for Yes and Barclay James Harvest. It was only later that I heard them called progressive. Gentle Giant and BeBop Deluxe came later. Mars Volta in the last decade. They are all somewhat complicated, very rewarding to close listening and sounding like annoying noise if used as background music. I guess the same could be said for Zappa and Beefheart. I guess I really don't know what makes it what it is, some some I like and some I don't, like every other genre.
