Prog Cup '19 Musings

Postby C » 21 May 2019, 14:20

Interesting range of broad church prog in the first round.

Some too safe choices, some derivative claptrap and some Carlsson corkers!

Great fun - bring on round 2

[well done Maarts]

My picks break down roughly as follows:

3 x broad church
3 x derivative clap trap
2 x Carlsson corkers
2 x risky divisive picks
1 x safe but under-appreciated classic

I can't wait Ray!

I think I voted -+B+- in every match

That match 1 was gruesome!

PS The 'safe but under-appreciated classic' will get slaughtered

ooof!

Can’t believe I won this thing in 2017 as to be honest I feel little connection with most of the entries so far.

For me, music needs an attractive melody, or at least a hook somewhere to make it appealing.

There’s plenty of that in the numerous prog sub-genres but it’s not exactly been in abundance in the 1st 2 rounds.

Things are getting better

Yes, things are getting better

For me Round 3 stank the place out.

It’ll be bloody Gong, Captain Beefheart and Henry Cow next for the love of God!

I’m all for broadening my tastes but some of this foreign stuff is waaaaay outside my zone.
