Hi Steven,
MM> 1968-1971 Pink Floyd were most certainly Progressive.
 SVI> I would rather say psychedelic. I don't think it was 
 SVI> real Prog, it doesn't have the right... intention? 
 SVI> meaning? subject?
        Perhaps your right.  I don't know though something like say One Of 
These Days in ways reminds me of the KC song Fracture.  And I don't buy that 
aSoS the song was not progressive.
MM> Once they hit mainstream they seemed to only have progressive
MM> undertones..... Not to say that they weren't GREAT.....
 SVI> They still are great, of course. And I still call them 
 SVI> Prog. Songs like Sorrow, and especially High Hopes are 
 SVI> definately prog. Not to mention the (slight) 
 SVI> conceptiveness of A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
        Very slight... ;)  
MM>         .\\ike .\\cCartney
