I wouldn't say hate but peacefully dislike a lot of it. Genesis and Yes I can't relate to. Bands like King Crimson I can no longer listen to except for once a year. Enjoy Univers Zero, Art Zoyd, U Totem, the island period of Jade Warrior. Always liked the underground prog scene in Europe from the 70's through the 80's. Anything from National Health and Hatfield and the North to Edhels in the 80's. Solaris, Pulsar, and Halloween were okay. I still like Frank Zappa and dislike U.K, Starcastle, Kansas. I hated that period. I disliked it and had no interest in it. I thought it was cheap when compared to what came before although now I dislike that as well.

I could honestly say the same thing about King Crimson, now that I think about it.

I certainly wouldn't call Tool boring, repetitive sometimes but not boring

I know this is the JFF section but why get whole bands in here? I don't hate any band but there are plenty of albums I wouldn't want to listen to ever again. Timeline, Big Generator and not prog (as if..) but Born Again too.

Catfish Rising is an average 90s rock/blues-ish tinged album. I wouldn't deem it prog, other than Tull being slotted in the prog genre.

I find Prog in Big Generator...what is it if not? (Please don't give the tired answer "pop")

I've tried to listened to Dream Theater's "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" on a few occasions. I can't make it through the first disc.

^If you don't like disc 1 you should try disc 2. It is totally different.

I have to say I find them very dull a lot of the time, though they have some killer songs across their total output and Lateralus I reckon had a great first three-quarters before it trails off for me. 'Repetitive' is a good description too - which is probably what I find boring about them.

I'm talking about Yes - 90125 Dead

Horrible, bad 80s music in my opinion.

I love 90125. But hey..at least you admit it's prog!

I think it is a magnificent album.

Too electronic for my tastes.

Another one I would have to mention would be Jeff Beck's flash.

Really disappointing for me. I've loved everything else he has done. (especially the new album)

He turned into a hoover!

I don't believe it is totally "Pop" with it's odd time signatures. I remember when it was released and some folks had the reaction of "well, this guy Trevor Rabin is replacing Steve Howe" and then it was just downhill from there. The younger generation of YES fans heard Big Generator before The Yes Album and tried telling everyone around them how great it was while the YES fans from the 70's thought "Yeah, and my mother is a werewolf". It's the seperation of generations again. Like at the Genesis concerts when the band begins to play their 80's material. The 70's crowd take a walk outside of the concert hall to smoke cigars. It's all retarded and many times debates over albums like this stem from that.
