Prog Rock has a lot to answer for Dev.
There was a program on BBC4 a few months ago with Atomic Rooster, Caravan, Blodwyn Pig, Curved Air, Soft Machine, Van der Graf Generator and many more. Rick Wakeman was talking about persons of a certain age at one time walking around with a couple of prog rock albums under their arm and then later having to hide them in brown paper bags so they couldn't be seen as the music genre was cast into the desert and laughed at.
Those were the days.

When I was doing my A-Levels at school the thing to do was change into your white pumps (preferably well-worn and obviously aged and faded) because the school couldn't stop you wearing pumps and wander about all day with a slightly obscure but cool album under your arm.
Any excuse to get off the bus on the way home and call in at Somekindamushroom had to be taken, even if it meant a long walk home (in pumps).
In those days your choice of album was far more important than your A-Levels.
Of course we were pretentious. We could do with a dose of it now. We were in our teens and coming off chanting Ho-Ho-Ho Chi Min we will fight and we will win ..... and then we were in San Francisco even if it did turn out to be a dusty June day on Newbold Road.
NEVER grow up, that's my advice. I used to keep goal in a flowered headband - the West Brom scout was unimpressed when he came to watch to me ...... no lucrative contract ........ despite keeping a clean sheet.

I've got a Rick Wakeman album. Got it for a tenner from HMV last year. Really like progressive rock. I think music from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and the early 00's are great but somewhere it went a bit off the wire around 2006. There are some good singers around nowadays and some good bands but a lot of the songs and lyrics make no sense whatsoever. Whereas if you listen to music from the 60s on wards the lyrics make sense and their is meaning behind the songs.

Matt, you need to get yourself a pair of loons, a tie die t-shirt and a kaftan. You can borrow Devs flower power headband and you are on your way.
If you ever want to get back to basics try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VUEDJlsRag before they were famous.

I had some great turquoise loons and cuban-heeled emerald green boots. I looked like somekindagiant.
Lou Reed said that if the lyrics ever really mattered to him, he'd make sure you couldn't hear them.
When guy did a series of paintings inspired by Brian Eno's inscrutable lyrics, Eno insisted that his words were chosen for their sound rather than their meaning ....... but I still love "file under futile, that should give you its main point of reference".
Of course a lot of the prog-rock guys were classically trained musicians seeking new and often drugged-up directions with their friends from art college. They produced a lot of wonderful soaring music ....... and some self-indulgent crap. But their influence is still strong. Florence and the Machine for instance would have fitted right in at any point from the late sixties onwards. And anybody with half an ear introduced today to Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane should be able to recognise they are tuning in to someone extraordinary.
Where does rock end and prog rock begin?
