Pink Floyd is not prog! It is primitive!

You may very well have YOUR SUBJECTIVE OPINION on progressive rock, defining it purely by complexity, my friend... Still, there are tens of millions of hardcore progressive rock fans out there in the world, whom by no means whatsoever agree to your opinions. If your mission truly is nothing but to provoke, you are doing a fiiiine job indeed, But if you're actually looking to rewrite history of music... I humbly think you need to take a reality check. And I'm not even a great Pink Floyd fan, I prefer Van der Graaf Generator, Premiata Forneria Marconi, good old Genesis and tons of other progressive rock bands, though I might as well listen to Justin Timberlake, The Roots, DJ Krush, Amon Tobin, Nino Nardini, Kaija Saariaho, m-flo or Plaid, so this is not defensive in any kind.

I hope this is a troll attempt or something. "Progressive" does not exactly mean "complex".

Why would anyone connect later Pink Floyd to Neo-Prog? I don't get it, nor do I get anything else in the description.

Your definition of Prog is weeeeeird, dude. Pink Floyd have long form, unconventional sructures, eclectic sounds and other elements that define Prog. From what you've been saying, I'm not sure if you even paid attention to the music at all. Hell, Pink Floyd are PART of the definition of Prog. In fact, every single source I've ever read on Progressive Rock cites Pink Floyd as one of the major innovators and fathers of the genre. You pretty much don't have a working definition of Prog at all. It'd be cool to learn a bit about something before you deliver an ultimatum on it. But if you dislike Pink Floyd, you could've just said so and left the genre alone. :p

progressive music != prog. progressive rock = prog (rock). progressive rock != doing new stuff all the time. progressive rock does not have to be complex. progressive rock is music that (is structured and) sounds like the original progressive rock band wave from the late 60s and early 70s + all the canonized bands. this includes pink floyd :p

the only really progressive music nowadays is not prog-rock, it is in ****cores, math rock and avant-pop, ex. Don Caballero, Converge, #12, Everything Everything, Late Of The Pier, Final Fantasy. Mansun were prog rock band, although claimed as britpop. Check out .crrust - Pain is a mere sensation (it is streamable). that's what oh.my.god. is. This is complex and beautiful. But never, never Pink Floyd.

that's true, i like Justin Timberlake and Justice. so what's wrong? My top artist is TDEP :D And even Strokes are more prog than Pink Floyd because of the way Julian treats melodies in general. Just check out 'River Of Brakelights' off his solo album :P Everything is better than this awful pathetic band))) Even Britney.

what's worse than not aknowledging that PF is prog, is stating at the top that non-prog music is primitive. i think 99.99% of all musicians that touched prog during their career would disagree, strongly.
