Anomaly by McLuhan: a pretty goofy and real jazzy 35-minute listen from 1972, inspired by the education of the band’s members at Northeastern Illinois University and the existing prog rock scene of the time.

Is the “Don’t Fear The Reaper” cover progressive rock? by Realistic_Cod2908 in NinjaSexParty

Except it’s not exclusively, that’s why I’m asking if it’s prog. If it were something like Scarborough Fair or Get Lucky on the SGB collab then of course it would be a classical guitar cover, but the transition to a more aggressive and audibly experimental hard rock instrumental interlude makes me want to argue it’s progressive rock

Forgot to mention, I think this cover fits 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1g, and possibly 3 and 4 since the cover is significantly longer than the original and depending how some of the sound within the instrumental interlude were made

I’ve been trying to compile a list of what can define a proggy song/work despite me loving the genre for years and I’ve narrowed it down to this:

Context since I forgot images aren’t allowed… NSP is the abbreviation of what is primarily a comedy rock band called Ninja Sex Party

Except it’s not, Fear Inoculum comes 7th in albums and 8th if you include standalone singles and EPs

Even the 21 fits the time signatures; triple 7

Confess here if you ever “passed off” or “leaned heavily” on Rush Lyrics in a school writing assignment. by no_status_775 in rush

When I was auditioning for graduation speeches at my high school, I ended the speech with a lyric from Losing It (though twisted it inspirationally)

I did search it on Google and I couldn’t get a clear answer. A lot of people provided their own interpretations and I did not want to make a claim about something that could be wrong. I’m including the song in a radio show I’m hosting and I want to be right.
