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. 

 

Start fighting....................
