None. The term "prog" is short-hand for progressive rock. Progressive is one ingredient; rock is the other. Classical, no matter how progressive, is not rock. Taking classical and giving it the treatmant, ala ELP, is fine. But strait classical, no thanks.



Also, this topic has been treaded over on this board at least three other times (eh, Ivan?). A forum search will bring up the relevant threads.


Oh, and I'm back from MS. Hello everyone.
