I think we chatted about XTC...

I like the fact you think outside the straight prog definition.

I don't think classical is prog or non-prog, and I think if one tries to say it's not, you leave yourself open to defending other bands that are in the middle. It's a losing proposition. Roger Lee was railing on the Beatles not being prog, yet cited Phish which I think is far from prog. It's pointless, really.

Me, I just don't have the patience for classical. Isn't it funny how a genre of music all sounds the same to someone else who doesn't care for it? The most common complaint I hear about genres that one does not like is "it all sounds the same". That's code for "I don't like it".

All that being said, your argument about some classical on the Moon and some not is very sound. Good points about the other composers.

Classical is funny too, because I know people who like Southern Rock and Classical. It's funny that way.
