I don't like Neo Prog, change my mind

I'd say "Fine", and then add, "I assume that I can expect your presence at my Univers Zero quiz night." I'm assuming this is an online quiz night, and not a physical get-together as Let's not get physical, physical Don't want to get physical... I'd go to an Olivia Newton John quiz night, but not get physical.

Take Heavy Prog. May Blitz, and Haken??? The earlier bands (Deep Purple-esque) should be separated from the post-Rush kind of bands. Plus, Haken's newest albums are straight Prog Metal. Another band that could use the treatment I posted on just above. I don't mean to seem exclusionary. I am in no way saying "_____ doesn't belong in ______ because [reason that is more based on not liking the band despite liking other bands of the sub-genre]." I just think this can clear up confusion. Probably because I'm just pedantic. I realize this kind of stuff isn't easy to just implement on the spot, too. I  I also think Deep Purple belongs under Heavy Prog tbh. And Blackstar by David Bowie is a modern prog masterpiece but doesn't get to be compared to the other prog albums which is kinda unfortunate. I mean if Peter Gabriel is Crossover prog I see no reason why Bowie cant be.

Pendragon Arrived yesterday, just listened to it for the first time. Wow! I really enjoyed that, wasn't sure what to expect. I have to listen a few more times to make a fair judgement but the band really nailed the atmosphere on this album. Favorite track on first listen was Eternal Light.

Neo Prog is just a something journalist called the 80`s prog movement so its still PROG!!!! 

Your mind is your own. If you want to change it, you need to do it yourself. Just because someone else likes something, it won’t make any difference to whether you like it or not.

We spend too much time being told what we should or shouldn’t like by supposed experts and informed critics.

I notice in lots of people’s top lists, they often select what they think they should select rather than what they genuinely like. It’s as if they are afraid not to conform to the accepted critical views: a fear of being perceived as a cultural philistine.

This has given rise to the term ‘guilty pleasure’ - we like something that is uncool, critically-condemned, almost shameful. We reluctantly admit our guilty pleasure with a sheepish, almost apologetic shrug of the shoulders.

Throw off these mind-forged manacles and go your own way!

Buy that 1970s country and western album instead of something by Joy Division and bask in the sunshine of independent thought, regardless of the attitudes and opinions of others.

I would never wish anyone to ‘change my mind’ on anything.
“ I don’t like Maroon 5, change my mind please “

If neoprog was marillion then I am confused, because marillion sound like genesis.....who were the originators. It's a paradox!!!
