@JT well as i said earlier, i personally think that playing the prog rock style i enough to merit the band as prog rock.
I agree, I just personally think that a band that simply plays the prog rock style is missing the essence of what the prog rock movement was all about.
Speaking of which, so how would Death Grips fit into that description of yours, JT? They fiddle with different time signatures a fair amount and have progressed their sound with each album. Would you consider them a progressive band of some sorts?
Perhaps but I think we're now straying into territory where we're completely separating the word "progressive" from "prog rock".

So it's settled then, prog doesn't have a distinct definition......Wait, dammit back to square one

Pretty much Omair, I'm just saying how I see it and what I see as being one of the most important factors of the genre.

Yet, I think prog is also a genre, because, as every musical genre, it originated from definite influences from other styles, in this case psychedelic, jazz, classical and blues among others.
Oh yes I agree with you, I just think, as I said to Choccy, a lot of prog bands that look at prog rock purely as a style is missing some of what made the genre what it is/was.

Isn't it enough to have prog rock describe the sound/genre/style and have the work "progressive" be a separate term?

"A lot of prog that sees prog rock purely as a style is missing some of what made the genre so exciting."
And there we have a statement that defines the capitulation of the entire music scene since 2000 (excluding possibly a bit of electronic stuff) to the style over substance twaddle that is constantly released.
That is not said in cheek, jest or anything else. I believe it.

@Choccy that UneXpect song is pretty sweet, reminds me of Diablo Swing Orchestra with harsh vocals.

What I meant was that this discussion was originally about prog rock, we could go on forever calling artists of other genres "progressive" because it isn't a term rooted solely to prog rock. One of the points I was making is that the two terms you speak of actually have become somewhat separated within prog rock itself.

exactly this discussion is only going in circles
