Re: Prog without trying to be
I think a lot of the early prog bands, the so called proto prog bands, weren't deliberately trying to be prog because the label was barely used back then. I'm sure the members in those groups didn't say "hey man let's form a prog band. " They might have experimented and pushed the envelope because maybe the pop stuff was for teeny boppers or what not and they wanted to be as far away from that as possible. It was cool for many musicians to make music that was meant to be listened to as part of a whole album rather than just a single.
