Prog vs. Punk PART DOS

Okay, last posting I stated that you cannot really explain either genre without including music that is not placed within their normal examples. Well this time I will examine what each has to benefit to the world.


Punk represents a revival to past rhythm + blues-rock ways where music was simpler and cared about the feelings over the grandiosity of the production values. Punk also gave to adolescents another way to depart from their parents - just as their parents did with early rock and roll.

Progressive rock allowed music to develop past simple rhythms into complex symphonies of change and variety. It brought into music classical instruments and the use of more worldly sounds giving the composer more choice.

I now let you my lovely devoted readers, aww look at your cute faces, to post what you think of each genre of music. Whatever you want, but please stray away from simplistic one-word descriptions or simply blasting one of the other without stating specific reasons.
