Title: An interesting study
Review: It's too bad there isn't enough bandwidth on this site to debate the reviewer directly below me, because I definetely disagree with him. Martin's book is an great attempt to come to terms with a branch of music that may have it's pretentions but can also be exciting and involving...and often is. I don't buy all of his efforts to analyze this music in Marxist terms, but that's the charm. He sets you thinking about the subject, whether you agree or disagree with him, and that's what a good critic should do. What's more, if you like this sort of music, you come away fromn this book with a few more names of performers to search for.As to what's "Progressive" and what's not; hey, for my money, the only thing that was progressive about Frank Zappa was that he knew how to write things in funny time signatures---other than that, he was one of the most reactionary, sexist musicians to have ever graced a stage.
