Another one for Gentle Giant (I hate those irritating vocals)
Also :
Peter Hammill (I like when he sings but not when he screams like a punk !!!)
the polish neo-prog bands (too much clichés in these Marillion-inspired bands)
Henry Cow and most of the RIO bands I have listened to (are they able to write music ?)
Frank Zappa (his guitar solos are really irritating and his nosy vocals even more)
Robert Wyatt's voice (not his drumming)
And one thing I cannot understand is how one can hate Pink Floyd, I mean the space-rock driven band, not the Barrett-lead band which music was still psychedelic ? All their albums, except maybe The final Cut and A momentary lapse of reason, are great.

That's quite a broad selection. So you don't like bright prog, simplistic and accessible prog, dark prog or complex prog? At least, that's how it seems. Just so I know, what bands DO you like?

I would'nt consider Queen as prog rock.Opera rock or mainstream maybe.The point is that its amusing that there are bands that we "feel" we should like for some reason and its all down to personal taste.I have tried to like ELP and KIng Crimson,but found them not to my taste.Mars Volta have some nice moments but.....anyway thanks for the input

Although I respect their work, their talents and musicianship, I simply cannot understand how they appeal for so many people when I cannot stand to listen a full Queen/Supertramp album from the beggining to the end. Maybe they have some hidden charm which I simply cannot get, maybe they are simply overrated by their fans. The simple fact is: I just don't like it.
But there always is a hope: I thought exactly the same way about Roxy Music and Univers Zero 15 years ago, and now I like both bands. So I think that I someday will try Queen and Supertramp again...

I can't stand Supertramp, are they Prog? I didn't include them nbecause I don't think its a band I should like!

Snow Dog, I do not think they are prog... This is the reason for calling them as "almost prog" (well, they are here, so there must be some people who actually think of Supertramp as a prog band - no problem, but they will not make me change my opinion).
