Mellotronists

You can say the same for almost any style and genre of music. There are
always exceptions. History (time) weeds out the crap with the great music
standing the tests of time. There were crappy classical composers that we
have not heard of due to their music not lasting the test of time.

  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!
