Ya'll have got to go to this site and check it out. I almost died laughing. After you read this article, post a response. Are you a Proghole? By the way, Salem Hill rocks.

22. you've spent years in therapy in an effort to forget that John Wetton has ever been involved with anything outside of King Crimson. 42. you hear a car crash and say "That's derivative of {insert band's name here.}" 63. the first thing you look for in a good school for your kids is if they offer classes in Kobaian. 64. you're no longer speaking to your wife since she refused to name your children Dweezil and Moon Unit. (think of Roine Stolt who named his children Peter Gabriel and JS Bach) 65. your boss has started questioning the upper-case 'K's before every 'c' in your memos... 52. you have tried every prog album in you and your friends' collection as a soundtrack to reading "The Return of the King" and finally decided that, since they all suffice, Tolkien must have been a proghole as well.
No, I am decidedly not a proghole. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

LOL i sure laughed a lot and i sure LOVE prog although i didnt pass 5 and i am not a proghole according to the stupid test i really couldnt answer a lot of questions as in my country we dont have prog concerts, we listen to prog on the radio in only one dedicated program and they play "Thick as a Brick" long version, and definitely i cant name my daughters Galadriel & Nico as my family would kill me, but i will KILL myself if my future kids said "prog is boring where is nirvana", only then it would be "the hot pop chick" such as our beloved mariah carey anyway it's a stupid site, none of those stuff prove anything ------------- when i sell my life story, maybe i should write it first and do the living later 'cause life is so much cleaner on the page |

BTW, the question: 15. the prefix labels of "Cantebury", "melodic", "symphonic", and "neo" before the word "prog" all simply mean "sucky". its very strange ------------- when i sell my life story, maybe i should write it first and do the living later 'cause life is so much cleaner on the page |
. great band like ELP, CAMEL, GENESIS are symphonic progressive rock, and they are SO FAR AWAY from being s**ky 
i dont know Salem Hill and never heard him but the archives said he is symphonic too, strange Posted By: The Prognaut

BTW, wer're talking about "Firth" like in Colin Firth (the pseudo actor) or Vic Firth like in the world's largest manufacturer of Drumsticks??? Cool article Danbo! (still not a proghole btw... ------------- break the circle reset my head wake the sleepwalker and i'll wake the dead |

They didn't make it up, they posted it for FUN. You should check them out. Their newest "Be" is really quite good and they FINALLY found their own sound. They used to have a heavy Kansas like influence. Now, more hard edged, not metal, great vocals with Gentle Giant-like harmonies and thought provoking lyrics. IMHO, of course. |

Guilty as charged. I'm a definite proghole! The sound of a mellatron makes me melt, and I DID dance to Tom Sawyer. On a roof. In the dark. In my pants. Drunk. I was going through an unusual period in my life..

Great list. I can relate to at least seven of them. Maybe we can add some more? You know you're a PROG fan when: 1. Your computer desk-top is a Roger Dean painting. 2. You name your pets after the members of Magma. 3. You own a pair of ELP "Love Beach" jogging shorts. 4. When every drawer of your desk at work is filled with stuff you downloaded from the Prgoarchives web-site. 5. When you hang a Roger Dean lithograph in your office because you don't have a window. 6. When you have no real understanding of what people are talking about concerning American Idol. 7. All the "Favorites" on your computer have the word "prog" in the title.
Anyone else?

Just read The Owl's list and this one made me laugh: Your girlfriend, when being taken to an Allan Holdsworth gig says, "Honey, I thought we were going to see Hall & Oates!!" A few years ago Rick Wakeman played the same night than a romantic singer (who's name I don't even remember), and I told my Girlfriend, I have a surprise, tickets for tonight's concert. When we reached the concert hall she looked at me and said, hey you big piece of sh*t, you brought me to see your weird artists instead of ______. But even though the concert didn't started until 1:00 am (Wakeman was in Perú but his keyboards in Paraguay due to a mistaken IATTA code -Pe with Pa-) she loved the concert and became a moderate prog' fan, after a few months we ended and a couple of years ago she married, her husband (A Bee Gees ex fan) hates me.

It's funny how this music we love is referred to as "Your Music" or "Dan's Music" or "That wierd sh*t you listen to" by others, even the loves we love. |
