Punk is shit

Prog rules!! Long live to the elitist, upper class music!!!

[metalheadnick555]

I can understand going back to the basics from the indulgence of prog, but why did it have to be punk?

[zismoura]

@Mikemaniax Truly told. I concur. Very well put.

@kingboobs20 When punk became progressive?

[andrewnorris2]

Topographic Oceans, one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

[kingboobs20]

Ironically the best punk came around the point when bands either started becoming arty (post punk) or seriously improving as musicians (hardcore).

@LucianoGallagher That's odd, because a lot of punk ended up like "upper class" music. Especially post-punk like Pere ubu and tuxedo moon.

cough cough - I love me some punk and prog.

Clash 'n Buzzcocks for Saturday nite, Genesis and Traffic on Sunday.

Yep, those were the 'gems' I mentioned. Especially Anglagard can hold a candle to some of the 70s bands. Really great stuff. I'd probably think they were from the 70s had I not known better.

@21stCSchizoidName I agree that real prog had died in the 70's, but still today, there are a lot of undergrounds band that are completely amazing!The most known are Anglagard (90's) and even Wobbler (00's) Those are masters!

Personally, I love Punk as much as I love Prog or most other genres. I love the musicianship or lack thereof in any genre, as long as the heart is there to try and make something stand out. I feel that I get just as much out of hearing a 2 minute Ramones song, a 20 minute Yes epic, a J.S. Bach Cantata, Miles Davis, Beck, The Beatles, Black Flag, and so on. I'm not a snob, an elitist or a punk, I'm just a fan of music. Plain and simple.
