hah...... you hurt my feelings man. I only make good suggestions based on the individual and their tastes. Why would I suggest something Balleto di Bronzo to her... now if she pulls a knife on me and swears at me like a sailor.. then I'd say she is ready for YS.

Welcome, I don't think there is any discrimination and rightly so. I'm a woman too, there are more of us here. There is Jean too, among the regulars Smile

Have you already tried some more experimental music? it's in there that the art really shines

I just listened and OMG. The music actually made me feel like I was at the Fair. It was brilliant with many instrumental sounds throughout. In the beginning of the song the piano playing was out of this world and I wish I could play like that. Then the Female Beautiful Vocals came in. Her voice was just perfect for that sound. The song was brilliant and I loved it. Thanx so much for sharing it. Do they have other stuff I could check out on Youtube? Where are they from?

It's great that you have a starting point as a listener that may make you more open to a wider range of music.

A couple of questions:

Have you heard/do you like early Pink Floyd? (as you mentioned them)

You mentioned Yes and Rush, do you like the complex or the "epic" aspect to their music?

Welcome to the forum Beer

I guess I pretty much tolerate pop music because that is pretty much all I here all over school and from my friends. The music I really despise the most is Hip Hop and Rap.

Syd Barrett vocals Pink Floyd on songs such as "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne" which is probably my favorite of the early Pink Floyd songs.

Rush to me has some of the most intense musical rythems and that can be seen on songs that are rocking like "Spirit Of The Radio" or a more toned down song like "Trees" which I think is a fantastic song.

Yes to me has some of the best musicians in there band ever. The voice of Jon Anderson in my opinion really can't be matched in this sort of music. He is amazing. The late Chris Squire and his Bass beats just were amazing and he also harmonized well with Anderson. Both Keyboard players in Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye are legends as are both drummers Bill Buford and Alan White. Now although these two guitarists have two different styles in my opinion they are both legends Trevor Rabin held this band together with great guitar work in the late 80's and 90's and the one and only Steve Howe is just plain and simple a master of the guitar.

I am here to learn so everyone bring it on.

I will definitely give that a listen. I also like the group Fairport Convention because of the same reason, but did not list them because I don't think they are Progressive Rock and are more Folk Rock but I still really like them. Pentangle and Steeleye Span are another two groups that fit that mold.

I just feel like The Songs from the Wood album has that Renassaince Festival feel to it and I love going to that festival so that is why I love that album so much.

I also love Rush and they have so much good stuff from the beginning throughout there career.

Pink Floyd answer is tough because I like stuff from the both of them and they both contributed so much to the group throughout. I also feel Syd Barrett in the early days was key and there stuff back then was so unique and far out. Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall though were masterpieces for sure.

Jethro Tull answer. Since Songs from the Wood is my favorite Jethro Tull album I would have to say post Aqualung. I also like Thick As A Brick a lot as well. I really wish I could have seen him perform live though because from what I have seen on Youtube he looks likes he puts on a great show.

That is so great. I just feel like I am touching the surface with it and most of my friends and others don't get it that the stuff they are listening to is pure sh*t.
