Here's a clip of Soft Machine on French Television from 1970. This is my favourite incarnation of the band. Robert Wyatt, Elton Dean, Hugh Hopper, & Mike Ratledge...a few months before Robert left to form Matching Mole. Excellent group interplay and Wyatt at his best on vocals. Elton died last month, so this clip is dedicated to his memory.

I grew up with punk, so I always thought of prog rock as the antithesis of cool. Now that I'm older, I can see that this is quite nice, it's almost jazz fusion.

The second number (after "Facelift") is a kind of almost a capella paraphrase by Robert Wyatt of "Pig" from the Volume Two album (followed by a free-form interlude into the next song, whatever it might be - thought I caught a hint of "Out-bloody-rageous" in Hugh Hopper's bass towards the end of "Pig").

Bands like The Softs and Crimson, and Yes,Van Der Graaf, started me on the road to appreciation of jazz.

Yeah, he said he was in the bathroom with some girl and his wife was just outside the door, he tried to make his escape, ha ha.

Yeah, but I don't how Soft Machine can be lumped in with bands like ELP or Yes or Genesis. I always thought punks were musically stupid anyway. I appreciate the asthetic, but musically to me, they were off about some things.

Prog was really a marketing label. But yeah, there is a big difference between this and Rick Wakeman.

Yeah, prog and punk were convienient marketing labels.Nowadays,punk is definitely a marketing label.

Although you have ... ( 1 month ago by wookie72)

Although you have to admit that some of the early punk was in its own way very exciting. There was a period from about 1976 through to 1980 where it was the most interesting stuff around (if you expand punk/new wave to include stuff like Talking Heads and their work with Eno, among others.)

Oh sure, I like some of the bands of the day. I enjoy Wire, I like the pre-Death In June band Crisis,Pere Ubu,Cramps, the early punk and new wave period was great. It was the later trendy EMPTV, and nowadays that sucks.Big fan of Swans too as my username implies.Easy to remember ha ha.

No argument there. ... ( 1 month ago by wookie72)

No argument there. The early punks used simplicity as a means to an end, not the end itself. The 90s and 00s era stuff - Blink 182, etc, are just willfully stupid, IMHO. And don't get me even started on Emo...

Oh, man, one time I posted some derogatory comment about today's er, punk on the Starpulse forum and a couple days later I had some ten yr. old skater punk tell me, I didn't know a thing about punk! Ha Ha `scuse me dear, but, I saw X on tv back in 79, where the hell were you then,eh?
