We're a
progressive rock site - nothing has changed. Through and through. (a few classical pieces, which make up 0.1% of our playlist, does not change that fact!)
But Jim and I thought that, in the 4500 pieces of progressive rock that we have, a handful of classical music, played once in a blue moon, would be refreshing. Kind of a way to cleanse your palette, and give you a perspective on where progressive rock came from (and where all of your favorite bands steal from!) I think it's a great way to open your minds and get a fresh perspective. Don't expect to hear it very often, but I like a short quick change of pace.
All music is related, and progressive rock has definite, hard ties to classical music, jazz, jazz fusion (which we also play a smattering of), psychedelia (can anyone say Gong?), and classic rock. As we paint the picture that is progressive rock, don't be surprised if the brush strokes go to the edges.
If enough people really hate it, we can always remove it.

The addition of classical music on AM was very disappointing. Going from Genesis to Beethoven was tough to swallow. I like classical music but I did not expect it on a Progressive "ROCK" Site. I think AM should be up for a name change, you are no longer a Progressive "Rock" Site, but a Progressive Music Site.
