Progressive talk


I'm into the german krautrock and some people call it german progressive rock. Is there any difference or these are just two common things.
Any input from progressive and krautrock addicts is appreciated.

I'm no Krautrock expert but I believe it's fair to say it is seen on the more avant garde/experimental side of things and therefore (rightly or wrongly)more critically acclaimed and nowadays seen as influential on punk and post punk bands such as Magazine,The Fall etc and modern avant garde bands.
Standard Progressive rock covers a much wider range of bands and although a few were seen as avant garde/experimental most were considered more mainstream and/or rock based.
That's a very simplistic take on things but....you'll probably find few Audiogon members with Can or Neu albums but loads with Yes,Floyd etc...
And yes CFB has been drinking...........
Marakentz,
That's the problem with labelling music-David Sylvian is neither of the genres described .........
