 Topic: Your Least Favorite Prog Bands/Albums

scratch that - I just started listening to the stuff on the Prog-page again, and they are actually a really good band. I'm still not partial to the vocals however.

No one knows what the purpose of it originally was or if it had a purpose at all. Personally I think it was a pure artistic creation from the beginning.

I've found Dream Theater and Spocks Beard to be disappointing. Oh, and Sky!!

I would have to say Dream Theater becuse it is not prog to me at all.
When it comes to real dissapointments I would have to say all Triumvirat albums after Pompeii and ELPs Works (both volumes)

Here we go:
1.POWER metal and its unnatural union with prog-metal...thousands of just boring bands
2.Most from prog-metal(Pain of Salvation,Fates Warning)...and many others...  .But I ADORE Tool and Opeth!!! DT is not in my hate-list too 
3.YES
4.RUSH
5.Avantgarde stuff - Zeuhl/RIO/Experimental.There are few really great bands,but most of these freaks are fakes.Why are they SO overrated?Am I missing something? 
6.Raga rock.I dislike oriental stuff
7.Prog-electronic
8.The Flower Kings/Spocks Beard.Equally dissappointing bands.No hate towards them,but they're SO usual...
9.Some Neo acts - also too predictable(despite this statement I like Neo  ) - ARENA,PENDRAGON,TWELFTH NIGHT etc
10.Trent Gardner and everything,connected with his musical activity 
NO HATE!!!They're just my LEAST FAVOURITE BANDS!!!

Spock´s Beard like a proggy n Sync?
That is crossing the line!!   |
Yes i know, it can be sound stupid that "proggy n'sync", just a joke...what i try to say is that i found spock's beadr music to be Ok, a good music; but i can't stand the voice, for me, ruins almost all the songs.

Mars volta is a bunch of hot air IMO. I honestly can't stand their music or the amount of hype they get. I find them to be extremely overrated.

Try De-Loused in the Comatarium. I ind it to be overwhelmingly better than Frances The Mute.

I'm having difficulty getting into Mars Volta... Frances the Mute
tracks feel so long-winded and full of hot air that I'm inclined to
call it fart rock at this time. Ah well, art is three-quaters
fart. However, I think I will grow to like it. Most music I
come to really like takes time to grow on me.

Ditto for The healing colors of sound
The only good suites by Spock's Beard are The Water and most of all A flash before my eyes  |
mmmmm... I disagree in part here.
A flash Before my eyes is really great, but I really really really like much the first and last two legs (healing colours of sound 1, healing colurs of sound 2, my shoes revisited) of THCOS.
The great nothing is a good songa, though lasts (IMHO) 5 minutes too long and loses itself a bit in the middle.
Neal Morse has a certain tendency to exaggerate in lenght and complexity. A composer that pours too much sugar in his works...

Genesis, Jethro Tull, Dream Theater, Camel, and ELP out of the popular ones. Of course there are tons of the less successful bands I don't care for.

Camel the Snow Goose, boy! what an overhyped overated let down album that was just a Mike Oldfield clone that was just a load of cliches and so predictable, the first time I listened to it I could literally predict every note that was going to be played before it was performed.

I'm sorry you're too much of an elitist to enjoy such intelligent and spectacular music. I'm sorry you can't appreciate the beauty and artistic royalty of The Snow Goose. |
Ouch!  , I'm just expressing my opinion!

Spock's Beard (sounds like a proggy n'sync)
Eloy - Ocean (zzzz....zzzzz....zzz)
Jethro Tull (love only Thick as a Brick and Living in the past, then i dont like the rest, but dont hate it at all)
Soft Machine - Volume one ( hmmmm, probably i have to listen 983294383 times to get into it)

I agree  I hate to hear negative things about so many great bands that have been mentioned! We all have our own opinions! What band i love the next person might not. Who cares as long as you like them & you are happy!

Or maybe we can take it for what it is and accept the fact that it's somebody's opinion. I don't like music that some of you find essential, and you probably don't like a lot of my music. I'm fine with either. I'm not changing anyone's mind and they're not changing mine.

I've never gotten into Gabriel era Genesis. I pretty much grew up on Collins led Genesis. When I tried to give them a chance, I thought, "What's the big deal?" Give me the Collins/Rutherford/Banks/Hackett eras any day of the week.
I've also sampled King Crimson and also can't find anything to like.
