Best band I ever saw in concert was not a Prog band but rather it was The Clash (opening for The Who) in Orlando.

Most Prog bands don't bring it live.

Nothing to be ashamed of there. Two of the best shows I've ever seen were the Dead Kennedys (Chicago, mid-80s) and Buddy Guy ('90/'91 in Deerfield, IL). Either of those shows blew away the times I saw (and enjoyed) Yes, Genesis, or King Crimson.

I Can't stand Neo-Prog for unknow reasons Cry, i don't know if it is the too much electro-pop approach in the majority of albums or anything else....

I had it on my Ipod a few months ago and gave it another listen out of the blue at work, and I thought `This album is drippier than someone blowing their nose on a wet pancake' and when I got home I deleted it.

Pretty sure that line was partly stolen from an old Simpsons gag

Ha, perhaps I associate it with the `delightful experience' I had of discovering that my review for `Heaven and Earth' (which WAS a positive and fair 3 stars, go read it!) got passed around dozens of Yes groups on Facebook, and to say that I was a mix of crucified, abused, ridiculed, mocked and all around bent over and dealt with would be an understatement! And on the off chance someone agreed with what I wrote (again - POSITIVE REVIEW!!), they turned on them as well. It was two verses and a chorus of `It's a 5 star album', `He's not a fan', `He doesn't know what he's talking about', `It's their best album since...', `He hates Yes' etc etc. It was f*cking surreal, and I still laugh about it!

prog secrets

apart from obvious 3/4 and 4/4 songs, I can't understand time signatures at all. 

and dammit. I have no idea what most of these songs 'mean' 
I THINK i know what don't kill the whale is about...but does supper's ready really mean 'hey, soups hot'? Why is someone Watching The Skies? why is yes stuck in a roundabout for like eight minutes? is uk traffic really that bad?

i exaggerate but ...mostly...Just No Idea.

I have a lot of unpopular opinions.  I don't have any secrets.  Maybe if I'd keep my unpopular opinions to myself more often, but I like to hear myself talk.

Prog should be about originality, not "competition of retarded 12 year old boys to sound like 12 old boys, to check who of them sound more like a cartoon scaring devil". what comes next? jerkinf off competition?  

I like newer Opeth with the clean vocals quite a bit but saw Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries on sale for really cheap and thought I'd give them a try.  I hate the gutteral vocals too.  However, I like the music around the vocals a great deal. It's rather difficult trying to hear one while tuning out the other but worth it IMO.
More heavy prog, please!

When I was young and didn't know much English, I couldn't make sense of English lyrics. Now I live in the UK for a long time but I still don't get most lyrics unless I concentrate on getting them, and most of the time I don't, because I'm not interested.

Sometimes even some part of a song including lyrics comes into my head spontaneously, and only then I realise what the lyrics mean, but before, having listened to this song 50 times, I never had bothered.

- I love ABBA, STYX and BEE GEES , I love even their bad work, every sudio leftover
.
- Barry Gibb is a genious. The albuns he composed for Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross and Barbra Straissand are works of genious.

"In the land of gray and pink" is boring, can't understant why is so overrated
but
"If I could do it all over again"  and "For girls who grow plump in the night" are vastly superior

I stood by mute,  as I watched my Ex-wife rip my copy of Opeth's Still Life off my phonograph and toss it like a Frisbee out our 2nd story window.
