Surely “In de hairdressers” was Spandau Ballet (quite possibly the most pretentiously hyped band of all time)

Or possibly ‘in de hairdressers’

Progressive: music of any genre, which advances or transcends that genre. The first hip-hop was progressive, though those which followed are not.

Prog: the name of a specific genre, which was progressive in the 1970s, but rarely continues to be. Famously, Radiohead is progressive, but not ‘prog’. Yes is ‘prog’, but no longer progressive.
‘Prog-rock’ is progressive in the same way as ‘alt-rock’ is alternative.

More simply: progressive music fascinates me, but I loathe ‘prog’.

ahh they don’t use anorak as a derogatory term enough here in the US.

Trying to separate prog rock and progressive rock … um, just shoot *yourself* (not Tim) now because you wouldn’t know music if it happened NOT to go in one ear and out the other.

You heard of Circulus? They’re another band that defy genre classification. Crumhorns and Moogs…

Well, you see, they play acoustic instruments like a string band, but they’re amplified. They sorta sound like bluegrass, due to the instrumentation, but are more like Americana/Roots/Celtic with flourishes of jazz, rock and classical.

It hurts the brain some times.
