| Whoa...sorry about that. In my topic note I mistakenly believed I was on GOES11::RADIO_RADIO.
In that case, I think this would be a prime conference to start this topic. Let's get some
dialog going!

| I assert, just for the heck of it, that the most interesting music to come
out of the late 60s (er) genesis of art rock were the early efforts of
Pink Floyd
Velvet Underground
Frank Zappa
and that not too much that you would classify "art rock" [which has
something to do with being self-consciously arty or avant while retaining
instrumentation and pulse from rock] since then has surpassed those guys,
musically.
Just thought I'd run this rank generalization up the flagpole.
(Oh BTW, .0 was near impossible to read on my 80-column screen...
Fortunately, all I needed was the title "Art rock" to form an opinion. 8)

| I used to get a prog-rock newsletter. Can't remember the name but the
motto was something like "We know progressive rock when we hear it."
It had articles on:
Camel
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Genesis
Gentle Giant
Gong
Happy the Man
Husker-Du
King Crimson
Marillion
Pink Floyd
Renaissance
Yes
and many others, including spin-offs and solo albums by current and
former band members.

Apparently there's an Internet address for information about it:
[email protected]
I think there's also an electronic newsletter called Gibralter
which also has a I-net mail target:
[email protected]
I don't either of these things, but a friend of mine who is very big
into Prog-rock gave me these references. My friend, Dan Barrett,
frequently writes articles on the genre in various magazines including
Keyboard. If it's not either of these two, he might be able to help
you find what you're looking for.
I happen to be visiting him this weekend and mentioned your note to him
which is how these references came up.

| 650.8 | On Reflection | WEORG::ROGOFF | Barry Rogoff, IDC, ZKO2-1/R34, 381-2957 | Tue Jul 05 1994 14:01 | 20 |
| db,
The newsletter I was trying to recall was called "On Reflection". It was the
official publication of the APEX (Afficionados of Progressive EXcellence.)
It was printed and mailed to paying subscribers.
The reason I mentioned it was because it went to some lengths to define
progressive rock, also known in some circles as:
art rock
symphonic rock
classical rock
flash rock
It seems that much of the newer music that's being called "progressive"
bears very little resemblance to the the earlier genre except that it's
complex music that breaks new ground, requires excellent musicianship,
rewards careful listening, and is decidedly not mainstream.
