- Well I tend to be much more radical. Definitivelly Yes, Genesis and ELP are
- progressive rock groups, but depends also. What Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, King
- Crimson are doing right now don't look "progressive" for me in the sense of the
- original progressive style from beginning of the 70's. Marillon WAS perhaps one
- of the groups that outside the 70's were progressive in this sense. I don't know
- too much about Asia, but what I've heard of them don't look progressive at all.
- Can you say for exemple that "Red Hot Chili Peppers" is progressive? For me
- some of the stuff of them look psychodelic, not progressive. You know that
- progressive rock is something that came after psychodelic. You see for exemple
- "Ummagumma" from Pink Floyd. For me it is just both things, since it is not only
- psychodelic, but also starts to be progressive. So, in this sense I think you
- cannot sometimes separate psychodelic from progressive, but surely you can do to
- funk and progressive...

- Nilo.
