They are always called "progressive rock/metal." Although, I honestly don't know what the hell that means. The best I can figure (when bands are called that) is that they play, on average, longer songs, with longer periods of no singing; they extensively use keyboards; the lyrics are "philosophical" or serious, rather than about having a good time; and they don't play the same melody or rythym throughout a single song. Why any of that makes a band "progressive" is beyond me.



Love that definition more. I don't think that "progressive" is the word I would use. However the words I would use smack of hyperbole so it is just as well nobody is letting me name the genres.

I just like the format you described. Longer songs, more insrumentals, larger variety of melody. Same format as classical music. I see the two as much more closely related than others might.

Apparently I do like that genre even though I just found out it was called progressive metal. - 21/11/2010 02:08:27 AM 730 Views
