Prog Readers' Poll 2021

[Gilly Goodness]

Kinda like Pastoral Pop Prog.

Covers TQ, ATTW3, Kate Bush, Clannd, DBA and BBT.

If we are to have labels. Prog is just handy shorthand. Unlike all those Scandinavian advertising gurus for Volvo, IKEA etc....who want to force feed words into the Anglosphere. No omtanke. You've never had the cultural import or heft.

Pastoral pop prog is as good as a term as any. If you think about it, all those acts, and musicians like Sting, Peter Gabriel, or David Byrne, are really just their own unique brands of pop music.

Combining this with the "Soft Rock" quote from Steve Howe, I'd call The Quest "Soft Prog", because it doesn't sound like what passes for "Pop" these days to me.

Soft Prog IS a better description of the last few Yes albums, isn't it?
