Why do people feel the >unending need to catagorize everything? Categories are the easiest way to communicate the style of something without a person actually hearing it. Imagine, if you will, how many fewer rap CDs would be sold if there weren't a set-aside 'RAP/R&B/HIP-HOP' section in the local record shop. Most music fans aren't about to search through an entire record store, pouring through liner notes, trying to identify something they've never heard of. It would put a significant damper on 'impulse buying'. On a personal level, I have to use categories all the time. A couple of months ago, I became metal director at WIXQ, my university's radio station. Every week, the record companies send out a crapload of promo CDs (50% poop, 30% mediocre, 20% decent to good), which I have to review and, assuming it passes the 'not-awful' test, add to the station's catalog for airplay purposes. I use the Sharpie-on-the-back approach, so I'm usually limited to descriptions of a very brief nature. Without our handy sub-subgenre labels, we'd have considerably less airplay of the non-mainstream titles. Without the word "progmetal" ("art metal" if you prefer) written on the back, most casual Dream Theater fans would not know the new Ivory Tower disc, "Beyond The Stars", is quite possibly up their alley (assuming you don't mind near-DT-clone bands, I recommend it). Result: no airplay for Ivory Tower; Ivory Tower goes bankrupt, has to sell their children to the gypsies or black market, and eventually part with all non-essential internal organs and fluids. All because progmetal fans did not know they were a progmetal band. Of course, this is a bad example, because only a progmetal band would have an album cover featuring marble statues floating in space. It'd be nice if everybody was so up on every band that we could toss out the whole concept of music labeling, if only to stop the endless "what is prog?" cycle on the Dream Theater mailing lists. The reality of it is, though, that there are just too many bands in this great world of ours to NOT divide them up into easy to remember groups. Categories : use them, don't abuse them.

I mentioned several times in my post that I was speaking of the average person's definition of the color blue. So, I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with; there was never a point where I said that there was *no* definition. That would be clearly false. What you offered is true enough, but irrelevant to what I said, as the physicist's definition doesn't apply to the average person. That said, I agree that using the term "art rock" is problably more straight-forward and less ambiguous. However, you're right again when you say that it seems strange to lump DT in as something like "art metal"... so the problem still remains, yes? > From: Digital Man > > > > But push them still further, asking, "I don't want to know what blue is > > LIKE, or what it reminds me of; I want a definition of blue ITSELF," and I > > don't think many people would know how to respond.

I think it would confuse a lot of people and possibly increase sales of DT albums. People would go to a store to geta dozen tomatos and walk out with 12 copies of SFAM, and they wouldn't know what the hell was going on. As for the Hasselhoff thing, It was one of Lisa Simpson's first words so I figure that has to account for most of his popularity throughout the world. "That's my story and I'm sticking with it".

(not being patriotic...follow me a minute) Look at the Dukes of Hazard and other countless tv shows and movies in which the "STAR" is a car, which happens to be driven by a handsome man who's been "in trouble with the law since the day he was born", and you'll see its a perfect combination, Men want to see fast cars and ass kicking, women want to see men. It's a plot line almost as old and tired as "Framed for a murder he didn't commit" (and oh the humanity when these plot lines merge, ever see Hardcastle and McCormick?) Now how does Hasselhoff transcend all to become Demi-god? By using that and another far more ancient marketng ploy. Half naked women. "Nuff said By using his smarts and some balls (like buying the show from the hangman like an earlier poster mentioned) he transmuted cheese into gold, and bought a Stairway to Heaven or at least a red carpet to Europe. Finally, I apologize for what I'm about to type,because I mean no disrespect to the person who brought this up, but I am so fucking tired of the "A Prog by any other name would JAM as progressi(on)vly" idea that labels aren't needed to describe music. That's like going to see a movie just based on a title. Even if the whole can't agree on a particular definition for the label, a broad description at least is needed for marketing purposes. Yes you can call it anythng you wan't, but I think progressive music is close enough for hoseshoes. It's progressive in the sense that it moves forward ( the genre will drag under it's wheels the bandwagon jumpers) and it's unquestionably Music. or it could be that I have insomnia and just read the last 3 JAMs consecutively. Whatever. BTW that Blue analogy kicked a thought or two. PEACE!! Billy. "They're just words they don't hurt nobody, Fuckety FuckFuck Fuck !!

I hate that town...two years ago at Ozzfest a bunch of people there set up signs saying "Parking Here" back on those roads by the railroad tracks/watertower. Cops cruised by smiling at us all the whole time, not saying a word...come out later to find every single one of those cars towed, apparently there's an ordinance that you can't park on city streets on the day of a concert even if it's a place where you could normally park. Personally, I think those cops should all be in jail for letting it go on (since they did allow an illegal act to take place - people setting up a "parking lot" where they weren't supposed to), but what are you gonna do. The whole fuckin town is corrupt, cops and judges and citizens (well, maybe not all the citizens, I only have experience with a few of them :)). And to boot nobody would tell us where our cars were...we all had to walk to all three towing places, two of which are miles out of town, to check. Assholes.

You know, I went through something similar about...(jeez, I'm getting old) 8 or 9 years ago. I started dating a girl and inevitably the question came up, "What kind of music are you into?" Imagine my shock and delight when she replied, "Progressive." I was heavily into Rush (this was on the eve of my discovering Dream Theater) so i said, "Hey, so am I. I'm a big fan of Rush and Kansas and stuff." She said, "Oh I haven't heard much by them" She then went on to inform me that her favorite bands were the Cranberries and 10,000 Maniacs. WTF? It turns out, her radio station of choice was 99.1 WHFS - the WORST radio station in the land, if only for the fact that they so arrogantly posture themselves to be free-form, even though they are just a typical, corporate alternative/rock station. Anyway, it seems a lot of HFS listeners believe that they like "progressive" music because that is the label with which the station described itself so many years ago. It seems a whole generation of people also got used to this label as well. Subsequently, she disliked Rush, HATED Dream Theater, and would demand that i turn them off anytime we were in the car together (MY car, I might add). After 4 years, i couldn't take it anymore, and i dumped the bitch. :) To this day, I will maim anyone who uses "progressive" to mean "alternative." :P }> Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 19:18:17 CEST }> From: "Ricardo Testa" }> Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 5521 }> }> I am sorry Krog, but I have never "jammed" with David }>Hasselhoff.
