From the very well known albums i find In the court of the Crimson King somewhat dissapointing.
I like Red much better.

What I could never get into:
- Bands that over-expose their technical abilities on the cost of emotion and passion; I'm not going to mention names here, but I guess you'll understand what I'm hinting at...
- Canterbury hippiesh*te. 'Jazzy' interludes, going on forever! Brrr....

...and speaking of Yes,I would NEVER call them BAD, but I cannot, no matter how many times and albums I've tried, get into YES. (here come the insults...) It's Anderson's vocals I can't get into, way to "twee". Musically they are beyond good, but it's just those damn vocals...not for me (that's why I dislike Starcastle too...) (Yes, I already tried 'Drama', recommended by a friend who knows I don't like Jon Anderson...and the guy sounds just like Jon Anderson!)

 Finally.... someone who agrees with me... Having my eardrums perforated with a jackhammer is far more enjoyable than listening to Jon Andersons....... well..... what can u call it. Which is a shame. The other musicians of Yes are very talented, and Yessongs sits in my 'vinyl' collection, unjustifyingly unused. I dont want to get rid of it, the album is great, but I cant play it 'cause of Jon....... Unfortunately, I do tend to say the same about Cedric (from the Mars Volta)... a talented band with a...... oh well.

I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long.

Yessongs was a bit of a dissapointment for me. But then again I've never seen the movie, it could be better???? Its all the pissing around each member does instead of reproducing studio sounds.

Fantomas. It's not that I don't like "weird" stuff (I like Taal and Alamaailman Vasarat), but I just can't get into them at all. Really, the only prog band I consider to be BAD.

Who give a rat's ass about which bands strangers on the internet don't care for?  I mean, really -- what's the point?
Okay then, Stynx, Fartcastle, Mars Revolta and all Prog Mental!

Dream Theater
It is emotionless and unmoving and I find it lame, and a complete bore

My least favorite albums are from my favorite band, Genesis. And these are their so-called "live" albums. The so-called rare live material on Archives I, in particular, is a fraud.
Why do I say this? Because much of it was actually built in the studio. Gabriel added vocals and Steve, guitar, before releasing the material. No telling who added what else. I like to hear the real thing.
Genesis were a fantastic band on stage, so therefore I collect and enjoy the real live recordings. There are some excellent (and genuine) examples of what they actually sounded like live. Its a heck of a hobby trying to find them --- but well worth it once they are found.

well anyone who'd judge a group... a prog group even more so... based
on a ..... a complilation deserves to have a master prog group go over
their head.  Let me
guess... the impression of Karn Evil 9 is based upon (Micky chuckles)
the second part of the 1st impression. Hawkbrook... listen to the 2nd
impression and tell me that ELP isn't... en fuego baby...
'rock with soul'?? that's a compliment for ELP I haven't heard before hahahahha.

Gentle Giant
It's not that they're bad, but from the reviews I thought they would be
so different. Maybe I should have listened to the mp3s.

I dislike bands such as Mars Volta, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Fall Of Troy. I find them to be a little too far away from listenable for comfort.

Ha I know your opinions on the first, no need to get into that. Can't say I've heard too much of The Fall of Troy but Dillinger Escape Plan.......*shudders*

Actually, TMV's probably the most obscure stuff I listen to. Other than that, its mostly Rush, Pink Floyd, and Dream theater, Sigur Ros *for sleeping yay*...now as for bands I hate, hate is such a strong worDEATH i hate Death.
