^^ I was talking about Greg House (Hugh Laurie). Don't know if Willie Nelson ever played an electric guitar. Guess not ... and that's a good thing, because his style of music definitely connects this conversation to the topic (Decemberists).
nope.. .that is why the Diet Coke flowed.... he will be buried with his Martin. But you never know with Willie... maybe he he had a few too many hits before taping the episode.
indeed his music does..

I like some DT, just not the majority of it ...Metropolis Pt. 1 & Erotomania are monumental pieces of music. If DT had more stuff of that caliber then I'd hold their music in much higher regard. As it is, that vocalist just ruins it for me.

I do hate modern country..... with a passion that dwarfs what I feel for DT but the classic stuff... I adore it. Oh well... I guess that makes us eclectic in our tastes. If all we listened to was Prog we'd be boring as all hell.

Totally agree....its just that Country is something I just....................I can';t here it! Simple as that really.
That Willie Nelson clip you posted is ok actually. Nothing wrong with it. I could never truly love it though.

I'm a big Nitty Gritty Dirt Band fan.
You see? Even the names of these bands puts me off!

Well, this has sure gotten a lot of attention.
When I used the term "fooled," I meant in the sense of people thinking the music is prog when it isn't, not in the sense of people thinking the music is good when it isn't. There are a lot of bands like this on here (cough...Radiohead...cough), it probably comes with the territory in prog.
In any case, judging from the consensus in this thread, it is probably me who has been fooled for not seeing the progressive qualities of The Decemberists.
