[QUOTE=jampa17]
When you decline to buy a new album just because you notice that the band doesn't have a keyboard member in the band. It happened me several times a couple of years ago, I went in a record store, see the album of some new band I've heard randomly wherever, and check the credits on the back and saw that they didn't have a keyboard member, you know, that the keyboards were played by the producer or a guest player, and I didn't buy it... I thought "how this guys could possible make good prog just with drums, bass and guitars?" and to say the true, just few bands can possible be interesting without a key member like a keyboard player... at least in prog...
Now it doesn't happen that often, but I think is because my policy now is just to by albums of my favorite bands (all of them have a formal member keyboard player in there so... ) and the fact that I don't buy a physical album in six months or so... [/QUOTE
So you have'nt got any Rush albums, then????? |
Well... Isn't this the band in which the bass player the one who sings AND play keyboards... and that live he plays keyboards and have sequences or patches of the bass lines...? they do fit in the description right... their producer do not record their keyboards... right...?
I stand up and say "I'm Juan Pablo, and I'm addicted to prog..."
The circle around me applaud and the next one stands and say...

I think you're a prog addict when you keep buying the same albums of your favourite bands over and over again (vynil > cd > remastered cd > remastered with bonus cd > minilp sleeve cd > SACD or SHM cd ...), play it once and keep it in your collection.
But i have to say some of my prog friends are more addicted to prog than me (at least a couple of them have bought twice the same cd in japanese minilp sleeve just to keep one sealed for etenity!), i just hope my wife understand this.

We've got that thread for jokes about being a super-nerdy/obsessive prog fan, but what about the real/non-joke symptoms, things that make you stop and wonder about yourself?
In myself I notice something kind of stupid that I keep doing anyway- if I'm listening to an album and something interrupts me or my attention wanders for some reason and I "miss" a bit, I will often restart the album, regardless of its length, from track one and begin all over again. |
I haven't restarted an album! ...but I have restarted a track because I was interrupted.

If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

You won't buy an album if anyone in the band is remotely attractive at all I'm kidding, but doesn't that seem to be the case? On a serious note though, I'll usually exclude obtaining an album if I don't see any kind of "unusual" instruments. When I say unusual, I mean something other than just guitars and drums. Usually, a violin, flute, or saxophone will do it for me, but if I see oboe or cello it's a definite buy. I've pretty much covered everything that interests me in prog music, so I feel the need to venture out to even MORE unusual prog than what I was already getting.

When you spend hours listening to samples of bands from all over the world so you can find more prog that you like and your wife looks at you and just rolls her eyes!

Personally, I spend way too much money on CDs. I often buy CDs I know nothing about because they look cool, and have found some great music that way (a few duds as well.) But the act of collecting strange and unusual music sometimes supercedes the music itself.

I'm a bit like this too. I spend tonnes on CDs, some from bands I've never heard. I've discovered some gems this way, but quite a bit of muck, too.After a while, it becomes more about the collecting than the quality of the music.

Guilty. I have the bare bones and anniversary reissue CDs of Yes' Close To The Edge, two copies of Led Zep's Physical Graffiti, two copies of PT's In Absentia (the US version, and European special tour edition)...

You have the following conversation with your not-quite-three-year-old daughter:
Daughter: Can we get out of the car now? Father: As soon as this song's over, sweetie. Daughter: Is the song almost over? Father: Almost. Only six or seven minutes to go.

 Relayer was my first Yes album. I've had it for years, don't know how many times I've listened to it and still can't stand it. AND I went out and bought Close to the Edge and Tales from Topographic Oceans despite not liking the only Yes album I knew.  (I do like those two, though)
