And Bob Dylan - I can't bear to listen to him.

I definitly agree with this bit. But am slowly coming around to a bit of Dylan. Very slowly. Love Neil Young though.

- I also love Neil Young, he is Canadian though and there is something inherrently "Canadian" about Seatle so while I dislike most American hard and classic rock bands, I adore Heart.

Sorry but I HATE Dylan. I love Young.

Omg I had no idea? Oh wow! Dream Theater, Alan Parsons, Supertramp and Early Queensrÿche!

I love those bands.

Anyway. Glad you don't like Radiohead. I can totally agree. Anyway, I thought you'd love Alan Parsons. Tales of Mystery and Imagination did nothing for you huh? Interesting my friend. Interesting. :)

That's cool...Dream Theater and Queensryche got families to feed too, so if I'm not going to put bread on their table it's good that you are Wink

As far as Supertramp, I've always liked "The Logical Song" but nothing above and beyond that...

When I was in high school we could bring in albums to art class and the teacher had a record player. I remember spring quarter was a constant swap between the 1st Bad Company album and Tales of Mystery & Imagination - back and forth and back and forth...By June, I was sick of both of them. Oh ya, I brought in Close to the Edge and everybody absolutely hated it except the teacher...guess she was sick of Bad Company too LOL

Dayvenkirq hello you naughty one

if you look/read further above you'll see that someone mentioned that they don't like Uriah Heep in reference to the topic

hugs

It's a game of winkie-winkie.

The Who. They're masters at writing songs that turn out way better when played by someone else.

This whole thread is depressing!

Hard to believe anyone can outright dislike some of the choices posted and still consider themselves prog fans, but one can't like everything.

I have to say something to the Dylan-haters, though: dislike his music or find his voice grating all you like, but at least acknowledge his overall cultural impact, which nobody can deny if he's paying attention at all.

Dream Theater.

Gentle Giant (someday I will try Acquiring the taste again).

I am not very big ELP-fan too, although I can listen their four first albums.

^ actually a lot of people dislike Dream Theater here on PA. It's also because of overzealous fanboys who at some point flooded the forum with polls and topics. It was annoying and I like the band. LOL
