Never considered Be Bop Deluxe to be prog. Saw them in 77 with The Steve Gibbons Band supporting who blew them off. Do not consider Songs from the wood to be prog. Ian Anderson does not like that label and says Thick as a brick was a piss take.

Ha busted, though did put a ? next to Be Bop Delux, as far as Tull go I've always put Anderson in kind of the same box as Wakeman, I have no idea why, but there it is. Goes to show labels are really a waste of time as far as genre's go. On that note Xmal Deutschland are probably the leaset prog in that list.

I have a question for you, Missi. When was this genre of music first called prog?
Back in the seventies, ELP and Yes were called techno flash by the NME but it seemed a derogatory term. Of course we had progressive rock but that was always a very wide umbrella. I can't ever recall ELP, Yes, Genesis, Tull, Floyd, Crimson being called prog back in the seventies.
I recently picked up an album by a Norwegian group, Wobbler - "From Silence To Somewhere" Apparently, it is highly regarded. Didn't connect with me though. I've always thought there was a reason the big groups were so successful, they were just so much better.

They weren't called prog, they were called progressive bands

Exactly. But when did it start being called prog? The last twenty years?
