Bands prog fans generally like but you don't

^ Prolly best if we just stick to saying what we don't like rather than making uncomplimentary comments about them.

Why do you dislike their work then?

I find most of their work pretty rambling, especially the epics.   I can't usually get a hang on the direction in which their longer tracks develop, doesn't feel linear enough to me.   The ones that are more linear, I feel are made up of more generic ideas.  So either which way, I don't find them particularly interesting once the novelty value of a band that mixes growls and extreme metal with mellow and soft sections fades away. 

Magma, to me, a lot of other avant'ish prog is a lot more interesting.

Can't stand Radiohead.

But am slowly coming around to  a bit of Dylan. Very slowly. Love Neil Young though. - I also love Neil Young, he is Canadian though and there is something inherrently "Canadian" about Seatle so while I dislike most American hard and classic rock bands, I adore Heart.

Most of Gabriel era Genesis.

I can't get into Magma after 30 years... Maybe i should go in Europe to see them live and then see if it change anything.
I can't get any satisfaction... from the Rolling Stones, but i don't think i am the only one in The PA community.
I don't Like very much Miles Davis, Gong, Kayot Dot and Tool. But, they're still a lot more to like for the time we have on one day.
