As much as Steven Wilson is cursed to forever sound like a whiny adolescent (which is a good thing if you're making a concept album about being a whiny adolescent i.e. Fear of a Blank Planet), I have to defend banjos and accordions. Pauline Oliveros alone justifies the latter, and I'm pretty sure Sandy Bull played banjo, which would justify them as well. Every instrument has been used obnoxiously, don't knock the instrument for it. 

Personally, I'd love to hear an entire album of drums being thrown down stairs, perhaps occasionally punctuated by Zappa-esque fart noises. There's a decent chance it'd be more interesting than a decent amount of Steven Wilson's output LOL (but I kid)

Steve Wilson has probably bought his parents a very large house

Swilson moved out of his parents' basement recently thanks to his ill gotten gains from Hand. Cannot. Erase., and now lives in a messy studio flat with his pet snake Lars and several small potted succulents.

Liked the Zappa one (fart noises are always good and Zappa had plenty, particulary in the 80's) and Banjos and accordions are great always but had to choose Prog fans are burnouts that live in their parent's basement- because no one else had and it looked lonely............

Only the last option makes some sense (note: I am not informed about SW's living circumstances and, as a matter of fact, I am not even remotely interested).

When I was in my teens, I considered myself the archetype of a prog fan, but I lived in the attic back then. We had no basement, so I give the first option another vote, tentatively. I spent quite a lot of time in basements in my ...er... student years.

I am saddled with a peculiar dislike against accordions. This dislike, however, does not reach out to concertinas and bandoneons.

I looked her up in the French section of Wikipedia. She is still alive and 94 years old.

Her looks remind me of someone from my pre-prog period: Pipo the Clown.

Okay, so you never heard about Astor Piazzola? Yeah, Prog Fans really have a sh*tty musical knowledge (even more negativity in the thread!!!)

In the Netherlands anyone who remembers the wedding of Alex and Máxima on 2 February 2002 has heard of Astor Piazzolla. His composition Adiós Nonino was played on that occasion by bandoneonist Carel Kraayenhof and it reached #2 in the Dutch Top 40.

Not easy to forget (and well worth a listen):

The years before 1972, when prog got its hooks in me. Pipo was a very well-known character in the 1960's and after.
