A curious quality of the music by these RIO artists is its calming effect. Meshuggah makes me want to *oppose* something. Henry Cow and the rest make me want to kick back and enjoy the day.

All seven RIO bands appeared on the same bill at least once, in '79, in Milan -- must have been quite something. (By then Henry Cow had morphed into Art Bears.)

Jeff Golick:

Rock in Opposition is such an odd umbrella term, from this vantage point. The thing to which they are opposed is implied or assumed, I guess?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:51pm
Jeff Golick:

Or not odd so much as vague.
Avatar 12:54pm
Tony Coulter:

Well, some of them (Henry Cow, Art Bears, Stormy Six) were explicitly opposed to the capitalist system -- others were not as politically oriented. They were all opposed to the commercial music mainstream, though, I guess. Perhaps the lack of political "agreement" is why the collective only lasted two years?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:02pm
Jeff Golick:

I think at some point I conflated Rock Against Racism and the RIO movements, because my brain is small and my synapses are easily confused and "opposition" is a lot like "against."

Avatar 1:07pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Jeff: Stormy Six, in particular, were very active in left-wing politics (in Italy) -- and Chris Cutler (of Henry Cow & Art Bears) is also quite left-wing. I'm pretty sure the RIO name came from Cutler, and that he wanted the RIO bands to be more obviously political. Some of them were clearly more focused just on making their own unique music....

Gentle Giant entry: In a Glass House.
Avatar 2:01pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Nick S: "In a Glass House," maybe? GG's vocals can be a bit of an obstacle to enjoyment (for me at least), and they can be sort of pretentious and lumbering -- but there's still plenty to like, methinks.

RIO SPEEDWAGON:

In opposition to what?
the commercial rock world - Queen etc,
a political statement?
Avatar 2:04pm
Tony Coulter:

Heya, RIO SPEEDWAGON (great name!) Some of the RIO bands were left-wing and politically active, which is where the name came from -- others weren't.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:05pm
northguineahills:

Look what the cat dragged in!
  2:05pm
Dean:

GG vocals are an issue, but on the upside they are one of the few rock bands to do really interesting group vocal stuff. I'd say another barrier is the faux-medieval/Renaissance veneer (much like Gryphon), but then again any band that sings about Gargantua and Pantagruel is alright by me.

who in today's rock world can be described as RIO?

Thanks! As many records as they've put out I've owned the bad ones. In a Glass House I haven't heard and if you're comparing Stormy Six to that I'll be having a listen. I have Napster to thank for hipping me to Stormy Six 17 years ago.

YES - I used to follow them religiously, but then just forgot about them.
Certainly stylisticly it any band that sound like early Mothers of Invention, Magma and Soft Machine.
