Both are SUCH WIN.


Indeed, you speak the truth.

I don't know the second one.

That's my favorite song on there, other than Take Five.

What does your mom think of your own music?

Those two are both great, and I really like Strange Meadow Lark.  Really, I like the whole album nearly equally, and the live disc which came with the Legacy edition is pretty awesome as well.

Which is strange, because Zeuhl was not that much of a challenge for me to get into.  I can see why some people would be turned off by the vocals, but I find them hypnotic.

Heh, not entirely sure there. She certainly doesn't enjoy it.

I'm sure she would say it's "interesting."  Which is what all moms say about the stuff you like/make even though she hates it.

Hypnotic is a good word to use.

I showed her a few select songs, but honestly I didn't subject any of my immediate family to the entirety of either of my first two albums.

Not sure what I'll do with the third.

I'm not sure about all Zeuhl, but my mom enjoyed Magma's Attahk when I played it.  Didn't mind bits of MDK she heard either.

My mom liked KA when I played it for her.

None of my family particularly cares for any Magma, Koenjihyakkei, or anything like that, mainly because of the vocals.

My mom and brother like hardly anything in my entire collection; but my dad likes alot of the "classic rock" and jazz and a few other things.

It's too bad, no one gives it a chance. At least I got me into good music.

Yeah, the only person's musical opinion matters to me in the end is my own.  I take others' into consideration, but don't let their opinions on what's the big thing interfere with me finding the good stuff.

I've tried to break people out of their pop prisons, but I have been ineffective thus far. I guess it would be easier if I got some "cool" people to tell my brother that prog is cool.

I've gotten some friends who were into non-pop but still popular music to enjoy prog.  Other than that, relatively unsuccessful.

I still haven't got a single person interested in "good" music, except my brother will listen to Another Brick, part 2, Money, and Brain Damage sometimes. I know he doesn't even realize much more than "this is so cool", but it was something. He also tried listening to Moving Pictures after hearing "Tom Sawyer" on Rock Band. He didn't even listen to half the album. :(
