I would agree that several times it becomes annoying, but that's the exception...

not really.. for me its rock music that thinks outside the boundries of what rock should sound like. Technique is one way to achieve this but not the only. Pink Floyd weren't really any more technique orientated than any other group in the early 70s but they made some of the best prog by just thinking outside blues scales and 3minute popsongs

ok I'll go with you
but many technical bands create magnificent music, not all of them

Lots of things about them annoy me, Peter Gabriels vocals most of the time, ie. on Battle of Epping Forest... and most notably I don't like Tony Banks keyboard work, theres jsut something about it that bothers me, I mean, Firth of Fifth is my favorite piano intro ever, but his keyboard sounds bother me.

That's a good analogy of Genesis. Way, way overated for the very reasons you mention.

Hmm... Guess it's Dream Theater. They have a couple nice songs, but
they're only trying to be prog. I've never heard something totally
lousy, but Dream Theater just isn't that good.

Everything they have done until 'Promised Land' 1994, is AT LEAST respectable

I would like to just ask this: any of you, gentlemen, has, by any chance, a GIRLDFIREND !!!... I mean, girfirends usually provide us with a pleasure that, as I see, you have choosen to reffer at as "suck balls". So, what does that says about the way you talk about this (and the way you think about your special one`s). So rude...
|
Having said that, if ELP is into it, I'm interested. ¿Do you know were can I find them?.

¡ Holly copy !, ¡ I forgot about Triumvirat !... But here's the thing: Eloy. They have a great album (Oceans); but the rest of their discography is just lame or uneven. I particulary dislike their first works; The power and the passion and else. Now, to be fare, I have to say that "Ocean" is an incredible exception; and the live album is not that bad; but I have a lot of eloy albums that I got hopping to see some kind of artistic growing from one to the other. I want my money back. Specially, I want the money I spent getting "Metromania". They are "Emule worthy". |
I'll buy all your Eloy collection. If you are willing to sell, pm me and we may cut a deal!
|
I don't like selling music. I would trade those records with you, but I fear I'm a little bit far away, and I don't have the albums anymore. I gave them to someone who actually likes Eloy, so I guess he's pretty happy now. Anyway, good luck getting them. I stick with the only one I like. They had their chance of becoming a great band, but the 80's ruined them.

Overrated; defintion for the purposes of this site only: Many people thinking that only certain songs are great, mainly because others had recommended it to them. They, in turn, recommend just those songs to newbies. Like a big, vicious cycle.
