but I don't understand what indie genre has to do with it, I don't even think it existed. indie means independent and refers to underground American and British bands from the 80s that self-produced their music. I don't know...

I remember it, I also remember the song and I can precisely recall that as a child I wanted to send her some clothes through Caritas because she always had only that one from the blanket. The review is really well done.

When I left the cinema, a huge WOW! was all I could say.

I think we also share a love for Led Zeppelin, the Yardbirds, and the BBC sessions. I also agree with many of your comments. It’s just that when you make these claims, it really takes the wind out of me! Now my friend is getting impatient. I'm off, au revoir.

However, we are also forced to cling to imposed tags like this, to distinguish something from another; it’s inevitable that it happens.

Well, it was just my impression, I apologize, it's comforting to know that.

Pippo, I read that you considered REd the best rock album, but Donjunio pointed out to me that you often changed your mind. But then what does Kurt Cobain have to do with prog, I don’t understand. Weak topics like the one about prog as the highest form of music, a trap we’ve all fallen into, for better or worse. Weak topics, I repeat. Progressive isn’t rock, maybe it’s excessive to say it that way, but if many have asked themselves this question, there must be a reason. You focus too much on rankings and labels, which ultimately don’t matter. Now, for example, they call everything indie or alternative, slapping these two labels on bands that have nothing to do with alternative or independent rock. Like the very definition of post-rock, which festwca and pretazzo explained to me, doesn’t really mean anything, especially for bands like Tortoise. Learn from those who know more than you, like I do, instead of going into reviews and arrogantly telling people they’re talking nonsense! Do you understand now what the point is? It’s certainly not personal; you and I pretty much have the same tastes, as far as I know. Now calm down and take a breath, because nobody here wants to crucify you!

but how touchy you are!!

Progressive is not rock... it isn't in the true sense of the term. It has strayed too far from it. And these aren't just theories; there are countless albums of every kind of prog to testify to that. I'm not the only one who thinks so, dear. Bye, eh.

And who is fighting? We've spoken civilly here and even agreed, detractors and non-detractors, on many things. You're the one throwing oil on the fire. And anyway, you're hiding behind your unwillingness to say what the nonsense spread around here is. You have no arguments, and there are too many of us whom you've called fools; you wouldn't be able to stand up to all of us. Well, I've wasted time unnecessarily; I'm heading out, goodbye.
