    Posted: October 16 2005 at 04:12

My Fellow Prog Enthusiasts.....

i feel that i must show my utter distaste for the prog music genre and the bands that fall under that title. The following bands are ones that isee as highly over-rated and phony; Pink Floid, Rush, Yes, Gentle Giant and King Crimson, the list goes on. The recent performance by Pink FLoiod at Live 8 was quite a spectacle to be mocked, i only hope and pray that they do not go on a full scale world tour as that could prove catastrophic. Which brings me back to my point, prog music is possbily worse than it has ever been, and should consequently be burnt at the stake.

P - Pathetic

R - Rudimentary

O - Over-Rated

G - Go Away

Yours Sincerely, Ben Retter.

p.s For actual quality prog, look for a band callled Aqua, belive it or not, but there are certain elements of prog in some songs.

P - Pathetic

R - Ridiculous

O - Outrageous

G - Generic

Those are the key attributes of your post.

Is this a disguised attempt to get Aqua into the archives  ?

I don't think so ... he didn't even include a link to their website, or audio samples.

It is a hilarious attempt at trolling.

Interesting that in a poll on the BBC internet site, Pink Floyd were voted the best band on Live 8 by nearly 250000 people, 60% of all those who voted.

This suggests that a prog band was better than all the other (so called) titans of modern music, most of whom are so memorable that I can hardly remember any of them or what they played.

You obviously don't like prog. Fine - that's your opinion. I do. So do a hell of a lot of other people. Calling it rudimentary is so laughable I wonder how much you've actually heard (CERTAINLY not Gentle Giant!).

So why don't you go back to your rap or punk or whatever (rubbish?) you listen to and stop trying to be a prat? Then we can get on with serious and important discussion.

Can't you guys tell that he's just another bored newb with nothing better to do than piss off the prog community, clearly look as his name and one cannot come to another conclusion.  Just the fact that he knows the big prog bands shows that he is actually just a prog fan who is messing with you guys to get a funny response, which has worked so far to his enjoyment.  Plus he's a contradicting himself, in the beginning he states he has an "utter distaste for the prog genre" and at the end of his post he's trying to show how Aqua is prog which is just a complete joke, plus he refers to us as "fellow prog enthusiasts", usually when someone says "fellow" they are including themselves within a group which he is doing.  Just the fact that you guys have taken this seriously shows your lack of a sense of humor and a failure to recognize a clear joke when you see one.  No offense, but as Ali G would say "Grow a Brain."

I think that Ben is making a stand against the norm.

He is a voice that speaks up aginst the crowd and a man of character, he makes eloquent and compelling arguments. You must admire is strength of character and intellect.  

Well Played, Ben, Well Played

you've fallen pray to his constant jokes.  just because he consistently wants to mess with you guys doesn't mean he's serious.  he just realizes that it works so he keeps on doing it.   here's a little  tip: ignore him, anything else will provoke more .

Mr Fisher,

In your response to my post, it is quite clear that you are insane. In actual fact, if you were to check back onto the site you will find that Dido, was a much more celebrated act than Pink Floyd, and was followed closely by Will Smith's, 'Prince of Bel Air'. Certainly you are a fool, so i will let you off for that slight error, but if u choose to persist i will be forced to hurl abuse in your genral direction.

yours sincerely, Ben Retter...

Well, I didn't take this seriously. How could I after the posts he made?

Nevertheless people should get banned for this kind of trolling. It is NOT a joke ... the goal is not to amuse people, but to distract, annoy, bait and provoke people.
