Re: Modern music's success

hello i am in france !
Je pense que le prog est une maniere de vivre et non pas un media de divertissement
Nous sommes dans une societe de consommation ou il y a peu de place pour l'inconnu et le prog est une musique complexe qui n'est pas compatible avec la formatisation galopante des modeles musicaux .
Mais c'est mieux ainsi ; le prog prend son temps pour nous seduire mais le plaisir qui en decoule durera longtemps...

Re: Modern music's success

I agree colt, that's right, Progressive Rock is a whole lifestyle, but every music pretends to be one. Punks say that being a Punk is a lifestyle. Metal-heads pretend the same thing about metal music, and wear their own gothic clothes. Progressive Rock state of mind doesn't work the same way, because it doesn't appear in clothes or in political opinions. Punk rock (again, sorry for the example), is a contestating music (is it the right word ? "contestataire" in French) , so it doesn't work as prog music, which does not require special clothings or ideas to be a full-time lifestyle. That's probably why it doesn't work like other musics: we are in a world where people need to identify themselves to something, and to identify themselves compared to other people, and they probably need that kind of things, which prog music cannot provide them, to do that. Maybe that's a possible explanation.
