 VK> Dark Side of the moon was one of the most progressive albums 
     of all time. When it first came out it completly shocked the 
     music comunity.  All and all it spent over 450 weeks on the 
     billboard charts for top 100 albums. Now if that isn't 
     progressive I don't know what is! 
 
        They weren't talking about whether or not the album was 
        "progressive" as in making advances forward, they were 
        talking about whether the album sounded like prog, a 
        genre of music to which this echo is devoted (i.e. 
        Genesis, Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Tull, Zappa, Gentle 
        Giant, etc etc). 
 
        _DSotM_ was clearly one of the greatest albums of all 
        time, a milestone. As a mainstream pop/rock album it was 
        unarguably very "progressive" as you say. But as a prog 
        album, it wasn't really very proggy. 
 
        Do you see what I'm saying? 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
