 VK> In this day and age of music I tink we spend to much time 
     wondering if the music is Progressive than just letting it 
     be what it truely is; wonderful music.  I feel that the man 
     the truely exemplify's Prog. Rock is no other than the Late 
     Bob Marley. 
 
        And as Jamaica is my native country (true, BTW) I feel 
        that Bob Marley truly exemplifies country music. And 
        since many of his songs are classics, he also exemplifies 
        classical music. However, I think it's fair to say that 
        he never exemplified punk music, even though he did use 
        sticks of flamable material called "punk" to light his 
        spliffs some times. Such a leap of logic would be 
        untenable. :-) 
 
        Seriously, though, as a Jamaican I think of Marley as a 
        national hero and I do adore his music but I'm afraid we 
        would have to take any further discussion of him over to 
        the _CD_ECHO_ as he is off-topic here. 
 
        I'm afraid there's not much reggae related stuff that 
        could be discussed here. Perhaps some of the more cosmic 
        acid dub that came out of England in the 80's. That stuff 
        really influenced Ozric Tentacles and some of the other 
        current psychedelic bands. 
 
        Then there was Gentle Giant's atrocious attempt at reggae
        "Take it Back" which was in 17/4 or some such ridiculous 
        time sig. 
 
                                Cheers,
                                Kenneth
