1970's "Super Slam" - Prog Rock or Punk Rock?

[MrBrau1]

You cannot beat Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, and Genesis in the '70s.

You can beat them with a big, thick, knotty stick.

All the while telling them to hurry up and get to the point.

We're an equal opportunity/PC board.

Big, thick, knotty sticks wind up in many places.

I voted for punk rock. I can only take Yes and Genesis in very limited doses. I could listen to The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Television, Patti Smith and the Ramones all day long.

I love Pink Floyd too, but I don't really consider them prog. I think they transcend prog.

It's official.

Punk Rock is better than Prog Rock.

Good: 1
Evil: 0

 

[jimmmm]

Pink Floyd or The Ramones?

Yes or The Clash?

Genesis or The Sex Pistols?

If thats the choice, no competition PUNK wins by a billion light years, Jesus how can anyone compare those bands to each other.

I didn't read the statement in this thread that said you had to enjoy one genre and completely loathe the other.

Still feel that way? I saw through this thread right from the beginning. There were a few prog-related threads floating around before Brau started this one. I knew it couldn't be a coincidence. Oh well, I'm going to go listen to an album filled with wanky guitar solos now. This makes me a horrible music fan, you know!
