Thing is the early prog bands change line ups & musical style, by the late 70's they become something that does not resemble their earlier work & style..
What do you mean about small value of X? If you are assuming there is little in the way of prog between '69-'73' you are very sadly mistaken, there was literally hundreds & hundreds of Prog bands, you are just not aware of em, people have this real bad habbit of thinking prog consists of ELP/Yes/Genesis etc, the ones that had a slight commercial sucess at some point but was generally post progLurcher300b wrote: But I suspect your definition of prog is fixed to only include pre 197X bands (for small values of X), so by that definition there was nothing after that date.
Small values of X, ie 0, 1,2, so 1970, = 1972What do you mean about small value of X
I see nothing wrong wiith musicians being paid for their trade,one thing i cannot stand is commerciality within music.
Both were late 60s/early 70s though. The original Curved Air was active from 1970-74; Colosseum from 1968-71, I remember because both featured quite heavily in the NME which was my music paper of choice.Lurcher300b wrote:Colosseum and Curved Air are two that come to mind.There is no late 70's Prog

Hippies mostly liked prog. I know, I was there at the time, when you were just a worried look on your father's face.The Permed One wrote:Can you explain what a hippy has to do with Prog?joe wrote:'It's the end of an era, man.
