THE CLASH

And you think you should like them?

This thread seems to be going awfully off topic, aren't we supposed to be choosing bands we don't like, but feel that we should, because its the type of thing we like?

IQ - I can't stand the vocals and the music does nothing for me.

Rush - I can't stand the vocals and the music does nothing for me.

Mostly Autumn, Karnataka, Arena - Simply boring.

you dont  HATE the vox, its that you arent accustomed to them

noo...no i hate them. Yea, i hate them a lot. I cant stang growling. His clean voice is great though

This my standard answer to anyone who dislikes Akerfeldt's growling.

Listen to Damnation.Not one growl on the WHOLE ALBUM.

Then tell us what you think.

I think its missing something

Most RIO - can handle some Hatfield and the North but most of it is too arch for my liking

Any Prog-Metal - what exactly is the point of this? Why on earth would you bother with prog dumbed down for angst-ridden teenagers?woah, woah,woah now...This is not dumbed down in anyway! There is 10x more technicallity and use of oddmeters and such in prog metal as there is in prog rock.  This compositions are usually more complex and it is in no way suited for angst ridden teenagers.

and finally the (IMO) laughably awful ELP - they make me crack up every time, just so self-important and self-regarding. Add in some rubbish vocals, tub-thumping drums and end of pier, glittery suit organ showing-off and you have a band that just makes me cringe every time I hear them.yea, maybe you're right about this one, but they are quite talented

There are so many I struggle with I'm surprised I like prog at all 

However, Rush 74-84, Genesis up to Abacab, Yes up to Drama, Kansas up to Audio Visions, PFM, Gentle Giant, Tangerine Dream, The Flower Kings, Vangelis, Glass Hammer etc etc make it all better...

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

I don't think it IS possible to like everything its also improbable that you will like everything that your fave bands produce. I will give Gentle Giant a try over the next few weeks.

I can't stand King Crimson either. Don't like Traffic, Pink Floyd is not worthy of worship, and while I think Gentle Giant - obviously a talented group - had some amazing tunes, I can only tolerate so much of them.

I'm more interested in Kansas, but even they drop the ball at times.

My love is jazz-rock, rock-jazz, jazz fusion - whatever you want to call it.

Bottom line is that we don't have to like everything......it's just impossible.

WHERE DID i SAY THAT THEY ARE PROG?

The Clash is certainly not crap.

Just because something isn't prog doesn't mean it isn't good.

I think some people here have forgotten that.

This is your conclusion, I respect it, but you can't make conclusions basing yourself on words that nobody said. I like more non-prog bands than you can imagine, so this is a false statement that "isn't prog isn't good". Clash is crap IMHO, prog or not, just crap, it was only a personal consideration, and remember:

nobody said NON PROG = CRAP

Not liking the roots of Prog is nothing to be careful about.  I'm not a big fan of early / swing-era Jazz, and not one person has told me that I should. It's called taste.



It was meant in jest.Your the 78,658th person who ain't a fan of early/swing-era jazz that I have come across.Well done

I have given up on Kansas and Zappa, but I have since purchased GG's "The Power and The Glory" and "Freehand" and will be locking myself in a room with them until I 'get' them...


Keep trying, damn you! Keep trying!
