can of worms (plural cans of worms)

(idiomatic) A troublesome situation; an issue whose resolution is difficult or contentious, but not necessarily complex.

[...]bands that evolve i.e. that don't just rehash the same old stuff could be classed as progressive.

That’s probably the most accurate definition if you’re talking prog-as-approach vs. the capital P Prog-as-style: You know, multi-part epics in odd time signatures, grizzled wizards plunking down sus4 chords on ‘trons; demons, wizards and fairies prancing about and all that.

It’s all good.

when one of the TV channels did a count down of the top 50 prog albums their definition was any band that had done a concept album that threw up some weird ideas

[Scrotum Scissor]

Yeah.

Without getting into 400 pages of highly argumentative discussion, that is all there is to prog in a nutshell.

Any chance of altering the subject heading of this thread to something more informative? Honestly, on a Progressive Music board, almost every thread is about Prog.

Something like "What is prog?" or "Definition of Prog". My suggestions.

So, Madonna is Prog?

No no no. No wimmen. No blacks. No working class yobs. Only clean white middle class boys. It's a sausage party.

25 minute long songs about hobbits and wizards, performed on synths and mellotron.

funny you should post a pic of Sherman Hemsley cause he didnt only like Afro Prog and Fusion but he's actually on record as liking the all right Prog of the Brits as well

[Dave (in MA)]

That was precisely why I chose that pic.
