I would have thought neo-prog fans would use candles, rather than lightbulbs, seeing as how they like that retro thing. They still have to light a match though... -------------

I am sure this joke can adapt to other genres.... Q: How many RIO musicians does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: The lightbulb problem is just a symptom of the terminal sickness of global capitalism. It's society that needs to change.
Q: How many prog-metalheads does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: What's the problem? By the time this solo has finished, it'll be light anyway.

Hey, how many Iron Butterfly members does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two. One to screw in the lightbulb, and the other to finish the drum solo. It would have been three, but the bass player died...

I just came up with one (sorry for the bump) How many Post-Rock fans does it take to screw in a lighbulb? Two. One to slowly screw in the lightbulb with gradually increasing intensity, and one to nudge me awake when the lighbulb finally reaches its "climax" 20 minutes later. ------------- |
