(Though I do prefer modern prog over the classic seventies prog.)

Virtuosity over venom?
Agility over anger?

I would argue that Prog Rock is capable of both perfection and passion, perhaps more passion than punk rock. Prog is not the polished genre that people assume it is. It can be venomous and angry.

Axver said:There's more venom - more clearly focused venom too - in that song than any punk track I've ever heard.
Screwtape2 said:Okay,
The rage in Punk Rock gets tuned out after a while. You can't tell me that the majority of punk rock retains its passion over years and multiple listens. The problem with punk rock is that it is straight forward. With Prog Rock on the otherhand, the passion and fury are built up by a story or simply its complexity. Take The Knife by Genesis for example. The song has real passion but depth to keep it fresh.
Simply put, Punk Rock ceases to be passionate over time while Prog Rock with its depth can keep the passion fresh and unique. Punk Rock is like a slasher film that you swear you've seen Like an a hundred times before. The characters change but the gore remains the same. At some point there's no passion left. At the end of the day, Punk Rock is just annoying feedback from an amp.

And punk rock is just kinda "going at it." Like a wild animal.
They both have their place. But one puts a bigger grin on my face than the other.
Not to mention her face.
MrBrau1 said:How many Clash records have you heard?
You need Clash records.
