What does make a group to be labeled as "Progressive", I love the music of Jethro Tull, Yes, Pink Floyd, E.L.&P., Genesis, and many others, called progressive rock bands, but, when you listen to the music, they are all too diferent, that I wonder what is that that all of them have in common, so they are put into the same label.

Progressive Rock was a British attempt to turn Rock into a more artistic genre of music. They did so by going beyond the structure of a typical rock song, and instead adding pieces of world, classical, and jazz music. Prog rock songs are known for their instrumentals and abstract lyrics.

Hello, and thank you for the reply, indeed, prog rock is way more elaborate than other forms of rock, and more willing to use other influences.

I think the best description of Progressive rock is the one you can find on Wikipedia website. I also asked myself the same question since I listen to Pink Floyd, Anathema etc..

I love music but I haven't got much of an idea, all I know was they are rock bands. We have tapes and CD's of those, my dad I guess loves the same type of music you like. He never gets tired of it =) Well maybe they call it progressive because they are going beyond the normal rock music as with the word progress or developed... hahaha I hope I defined it well ^^
