 Topic: Just for fun: Who's your favourite prog character?
Posted: October 01 2009 at 20:02 |
Just a bit of fun here ... we can have fun can't we?
Lots of prog music features storylines and characters, do you have a favourite?
I think mine would be The Reverend, from "The Battle of Epping Forest" (Selling England, Genesis). The devil caught hold of his soul...
Runner-up is Mud Flanigan, the hero of "The Prince of Heaven's Eyes" album by Fruupp.  |

Hint: There is a "Just for Fun" section, the area of this site with the most posts. 
My favorite character? Hmm...tell you later...

I guess I'm going to go with anyone of Colin Meloy's deep characters...yeah, that weird guy from The Decemberists.
So many to choose from with him, yes....but if I must, I might tip my hat to that poor bloke in "Grace Cathedral Hill," or the pair of homosexual whores in "On the Bus Mall," or brave, defiant, William...
...or The Rake...
All right?

But runner-up goes to Harold the Barrel

Ive been waiting here for so long
And all this time has passed me by
It doesnt seem to matter now
You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say.
Why dont you touch me, touch me,
Why dont you touch me, touch me,
Touch me now, now, now, now, now...

Does it need a Just for fun tag in front if it is in fact, just for fun?

Apparently disclaimers of this sort are needed nowadays.
Kids, you know.

Very hard one - Either Kezia from Protest The Hero's album of the same name, or Marillion's Torch from Clutching At Straws.

It's obviously Ziltoid. Because he doesn't give a sh*t and lives above Earth in a big rocket ship, of course!

You beat me to it. Lockheed has great artistic dark humour which reminded me of the early Monty Python. I would pick Jack Of Shadows but for me to say it is a real character is quite an insecure guess as many of Robert Calvert's writings are way over my head.
