of course every music is art, but when we consider art rock as a genre, we talk about a music (or musician) being influenced by other forms of art, like theatricality, conscious poesy, sometimes cinematography and so on. in other words, making pop music more complex and intellectual.

Completely agree, I always try to avoid using that tag either (saying experimental techno instead)

think this is not a great tag but it describes camel's last albums perfectly! all because its really hard to classify them as something else, nor progressive (anymore), nor pop, nor "experimental", in a sense that what they do is perfectly reasonable for "aunties and grandmothers" with a little bit of taste...

v yeah, it's all about concept as much as the music itself. Experimental rock is a Wikipedia genre, it's totally meaningless. Art & Prog both came from Psychedelic Rock and the big stage extravaganzas of early Floyd and those other guys. Same things to begin with, they both experimented with song structure and content, but basically branched into bands more focused on songs as a vehicle for performance art (not necessarily overly complex) vs those more focused on the instrumental, "technical" side (prog). Wikipedia article is awful but the talk page has some interesting stuff including on what happened to art rock after punk (RIO/ avant-prog is sort of written out of art rock a lot...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Art_rock#On_prog_and_art_rock.2C_new_wave
