progressive pop
Progressive pop is a form of pop music that is loosely defined. It was first used as an early name for progressive rock. During the 1970s, the term was roughly interchangeable with rock music, referring to "progressive" popular music created for listening attentively, not dancing — the anti-thesis of music not produced by the performing artist and mainly influenced by managers, agents, or record companies. Years later, "progressive pop" has been used to describe music deemed too mild for classification under progressive rock.
==Early uses==
In the mid-1960s, British newspapers were referring to American rock band the Beach Boys' 1966 album ''Pet Sounds'' as "the most progressive pop album ever". The Beach Boys continued to be associated with progressive pop for their 1971 album ''Surf's Up'', for which ''Rolling Stone'' called a "wed(of ) their choral harmonies" to the genre.
Writer Nik Cohn in his 1969 piece ''Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom: The Golden Age of Rock'' believed that the pop music industry had been split "roughly eighty percent ugly and twenty percent idealist", with the eighty percent being "mainline pop" and the twenty percent being "progressive pop (to ) an esoteric feel". He prophesied: "In ten years, its practitioners will probably be called by another name entirely, electric music or something, and they'll relate to pop the way that art movies relate to Hollywood." In its 1970 revision, Cohn amended: "I had guessed that progressive pop would shrink to a minority cult and it hasn't. Well, in England, I wasn't entirely wrong ... But, in America, I fluffed completely — the Woodstock nation has kept growing and, for all his seriousness and pretensions to poetry, someone like James Taylor has achieved the same mass appeal as earlier stars."
Eventually, the term "progressive pop" was supplanted by the more common name "progressive rock".
