Come up with  something better! Start a freaking prog  revolution!



It's been a slow train coming but having closely scrutinised a lot of  the 
'prog' I have listened to over the years plus a good cross section of  what is 
currently on offer, I wonder why I ever bothered with most of it.   Prog
obviously has good music within the genre but to my ears the vast quantity  
is utterly pointless and disposable.  When you consider the  genius involved in 
writing a symphony in your head for 60+ players with all the  counterpoint, 
harmonisation, voicing etc. etc. in a month and the resulting  work being 
playable on first attempt with a few revisions needed and then you  consider the 
simple sub standard amalgam of styles churned out after months in a  studio.  
Well the gulf is obvious to my mind.
