it also takes a lot more free will to consume a book than it does a podcast frankly you cant really passively consume a book by being in the same room, and realistically it takes more effort to get even an eBook than it does a podcast "delivered" in a consumable state

The thing about Rush being prog for stupid people is true, but Rush also get that rock music is for stupid people and that "prog-smart" isn't a good kind of smart.

Podcasts are delicious, i can't watch videos, read books or play video games while cooking, cleaning or pretending being productive at the office, it's great mixing it with the other delicious thing you can do while doing these things namely listening to music

Chrpno posted:It's always been my mantra that Pink Floyd Is Not Prog. Not sure why I believe this, maybe it's not "technical" enough to qualify? i mean they did start out as more of a psych rock band with a simpler sound but once it gets into their mid 70's stuff and waters became the main writer, they pretty much check all the boxes of doing what the other major prog rock bands of the time were doing? i don't really get what would make them "not prog". personally my favorite of that whole scene is king crimson but there's very little prog that i don't like. Can i would file more under krautrock, but that's certainly prog adjacent.

I don't find Jon Hamm funny at all. He's fine in Mad Men, but any time he starts mugging to the camera and making wacky faces it's the worst. His whole shtick is basically George Clooney but not as good (or handsome).

Modal Auxiliary posted:Linear/through-composed music is all about things fitting into place/lining up, though? Progressive rock, in my understanding of it, was always doing things that don't fit nicely into place. Not the standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/verse/chorus or whatever. Off beats, mixing up timing, key changes, experimental, non-standard stuff hence the "progressiveness" of it. Unconventional. Maybe I'm wrong in some way but that's my current understanding of what progressive rock is.

Not the standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/verse/chorus or whatever. Off beats, mixing up timing, key changes, experimental, non-standard stuff hence the "progressiveness" of it. Unconventional. that really depends on which band/era you are talking about a lot of the early prog rock bands were essentially bringing in elements of classical music and jazz to rock. they did write plenty of typical verse/chorus/verse songs, but they also wrote extremely long multipart pieces that were musically complex and involved different time signatures. however, these elements were already pretty conventional outside of rock, in the realms orchestral music and jazz and other genres. progressive rock was different in that it playing with this stuff but with small rock groups led by electric instruments. jazz fusion was a similar genre that emerged around the same time and has a lot of crossover appeal with prog, tho unlike prog its almost entirely instrumental. in many cases the music is still quite linear and fits nicely into place, jethro tull's thick as a brick for example is just solid rock grooves and great riffs the whole way through and quite accessible except for the fact that it's 46 minutes long.
