MJ is the Pink Floyd of prog

Message Bookmarked

John Robinson: "Strange to relate, since prog is one idiom where he's never set foot, but a decisive figure in the music's development is Mick Jagger. This isn't so much for his encouragement of King Crimson -- who appeared with The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park in 1969. More because for many of the musicians who would come to define this music over the next decade, Jagger represented the apogee of a traditional rock showmanship to which they could never aspire."

Is John Robinson insinuating the following train of thought: "I wish I could dance like a chicken like Mick, guess I'll just have to play side long jams based on Mussorgsky"

(forgive me if that's an obvious yes, I just want to make sure that's a real thing that a person would actually believe)

Just want to point out that Pink Floyd didn't have any album covers featuring naked children, but Led Zeppelin and Blind Faith did. So will the real MJ please stand up.

As noted there are abt 10 MJs I thought of before I got to Jagger

Does the English press have some "cutting", nonsensical nickname for Jagger like Broicho or Lipsydoodle or Jaggbagg or some shit?
