My best of prog for a girl...

Ok she likes umm Nickelback, Creed, Toto, Coldplay, Some bluesey and funky stuff so this is what i ended up with:

1. At the end of the day-Spocks beard 16:28
2. Roundabout-Yes 8:34
3. Firth Of Filth-Genesis 9:37
4. Rhayader-Camel 3:01
5. The sound of muzak-Porcupine tree 5:00

10.Hours of wealth-Opeth 5:20
11. Merlin-Kayak 7:51

Around 77 minutes all in all i have included some old prog classics but have tried to steer clear of them old 70's stuff as they might be a bit um strange with the keyboards and stuff...and not everything is exactly prog either but have tried adding something cool anyways....well what ya think? Do you think it will be any good

I'm slowly working with my GF round prog 2... I stared with some sad, emotional stuff

Me thinks She might get pissed off cuz of the old production... Hope most of 'em are ballads

OR else You might be going a bit 2 far...

I made a list of Songs like:

1.Opeth - Windowpane
2.Opeth - Hope Leaves
3.PoS - 2nd Love
4.PoS - Morning on Earth
5.Anathema - Forgotten Hopes
6.Anathema - One Last Goodbye
7.Dream Theater - Hollow Years
8.Dream Theater - Another Day
9.Shadow Gallery - Hope for us?
10.Shadow Gallery - Comfort Me

I know this is hardly representative but for the 1st time its best... get the harder and more prog stuff next...

Hello all of you.

I think that the question "why girls dont like prog" is important question.

I'm a female, not "girl" anymore.

My taste is not a usual "girl" taste, but steal i dont like prog-metal in general.

I assume that: when the prog just developed, weman where still not enough express themselves in music. while males yell their sexuality to death (like Robert Planet, for example), weman in music where still a "good girls" with "quite and nice" music - Jony Mitchel, Keroll King, etc.

It was not until the late 70' when Kate Bush came around. She gave much better presentation of "woman world" including sexuality of course, and many weman emotions...

But - this was not prog anymore.

After that came Bjork, and expanded the woman possibilites to express themselves... she quite close to prog i think, but it's defenitly not prog.

Then came PJ Harvey -WOW What a woman... what a presentation of weman world... just listen to "little fish big fish swimming in the water, come right here and give me my daughter"... but - not prog at all. blues stuff.

MABY IN THE FUTURE, if there will be a band, with weman singer like these singers, that could express herself, in prog band - maby than.

I dont consider here prog bands with "nice" woman singer.

IF someone know about such a band - let me know.

CHEERS !!!

Most girls I know liked Renaissance when I played it for them.  Probably because the music is beautiful and there's a female vocalist they could identify with.

My girlfriend loves Peter Gabriel, but doesn't like a lot of early Genesis, especially The Musical Box (my favorite of their songs), because it scares her.  But she kind of likes The Lamb.  She also doesn't like Yes for some reason, except for some of the eighties stuff :(.

She sort of likes Opeth though, although she has to be in the mood for it.  Actually that's how she is with all my music.  She has to be in the mood for it to like it.
