Okay, I'm new this "progressive rock" stuff so please don't come to hard
on my stupidity. I know I like some of the artists that have been
mentioned, before I heard the term "progressive rock". I just always
heard them called "rock'n'roll". I'm wondering about a couple of
artists, whether they'd fit in to this genre. How about Cream? The
were definitely progressive for that time. It was based on blues and
jazz, but put in a rock setting. No one else had ever done anything
like what they were doing. The music appealed to blueslovers and
musicians who wanted something different than the Beatles and other pop
bands. They also influenced many progressive rock bands that came later
on. From the way progressive rock been described here, I'd say they fit
right in.
How 'bout Yngwie Malmsteen? Paganini style metal. He seems to appeal
mainly to musicians and not the pop culture. He's not a household name
like Van Halen.
What do you guys think?
