Mellotronists

Sadly...
 
As I've  got older I've realised that Prog. Music is pretty  awful in the 
main with a few distinctive albums justifying the whole tedious  genre.  There 
are so many terrible albums with just a few shining  examples that are worthy of 
longevity.  Prog. is basically a  schizophrenic music form where rock 
musicians attempt jazz,  classical, ethnic or whatever in an inferior way to the real 
 exponents.  There have never been any classical prog. compositions  that 
resemble in any way the genius of the great classical  composers  The modern take 
on Prog. is even worse where tunes are  abandoned in favour of short blasts 
of musical non-sequitors showing  technique over content, although this trait 
existed to a lesser extent early  on.  To sum up, I find prog. rock depressing 
in the main and reel at  the fact I actually believed it ever meant anything.  
Crimso, Genesis and a  few others really did do something worthy but wading 
through musical settings of  Jon Anderson's inane and utterly empty headed 
ramblings never did anything for  me then or now.
 
Gawd help me!
