I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Glad to oblige!
Queen?!? Faaack off!
Kansas - like Asia, I've never really been tempted.
I had one Enya album, lost it somewhere. I've borrowed other Enya albums from the library and agree that all her albums sound exactly the same. She's a fine candidate for justifying getting a compilation and that's it or just one album, kinda like Ostrich Testicles.
+1 I am tempted to start a thread entitled "AOR bands that Americans inexplicably call prog rock"
You could have a long thread about this, but Kansas wouldn't appear in it.+1 I am tempted to start a thread entitled "AOR bands that Americans inexplicably call prog rock"
What, you mean Americans dont call Kansas prog rock? Or are you saying Kansas aren't AOR?
Since when is Kansas AOR?What, you mean Americans dont call Kansas prog rock? Or are you saying Kansas aren't AOR?
Really sounds like prog to me. To complicated to be AOR.
^^ It might help if people say exactly what they mean by AOR, because I've seen that used an an abbreviation for at least two different things.
Hang on Mr Exactly What They Mean By AOR, there's a queue here you know, and Mr Exactly What They Mean By Prog is still at the head of it...
Lots of AOR is complicated. Lots of prog isn't. The finished product, the sound, the mood is the determining factor...if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is a duck....
It could be a swan.

Swans don't quack, they hiss and honk like geese.
Still, Kansas is prog.
No, I mean what does AOR stand for when you use the term. I've seen it used to refer to Adult Oriented Rock, Album Oriented Rock (not the same thing) and I'm sure I've seen at least one other usage.
PE member Tom Hayes wrote an article on American Midwest Prog in the 70s through early 80s. It may clear things up a little for you:+1 I am tempted to start a thread entitled "AOR bands that Americans inexplicably call prog rock"

"Any Old Rubbish"
Been hearing a lot of "Kansas isn't prog" lately. I don't get it. They weren't ALL prog, but often enough, they were, as much as some of the "Big 5s."
The former.
My guess is that some people base their classification of Kansas on the only song they know, "Dust In the Wind". It's a great song, but it does not tick most of the "prog" boxes.
I was thinking the same thing. If you haven't heard at least one whole album, you don't know enough about a band to make a sweeping generalization.
I own them all.
What do I win?
