Progressive Music as Fine Art
    #18995402 - 10/18/13 12:29 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I just came off a two-day marathon of listening to nothing but Genesis with Peter Gabriel.

It is my opinion that there are some albums from progressive artists like Genesis pre-1975 which should be considered as fine art.

I would defy anyone to tell me that "Supper's Ready" from the Foxtrot album is not as relevant to human consciousness as anything Michelangelo has painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

I would also say that the same could be said of albums by Van Der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, and Love's Forever Changes album.

I'm 100% with you on the magnificence of Progressive rock from the 70's (add Yes and Gentle Giant) but I think you give short shrift here to some of the more mainstream rock and rollers.  Keith Richards, for just one example, is a fucking brilliant songwriter as is Pete Townsend.  I would also posit that the entire notion of art, fine or otherwise, is bunk meant to elevate snobs into being cultural gatekeepers with no merit of their own.  Art is what you say it is
