many people i know say they dislike prog in general, or think they dislike it, they may like one or two prog groups such as genesis but not as a music genre. saying that, i know many people who travelled to Bournemouth to see the new "war of the worlds" spectacular by jeff wayne and were very impressed, but would not become interested in prog as a result.

Mostly all of my friends don't listen to prog, they don't even listen to rock. One friend of mine does listen prog too, but not so much

I voted No, because the most of my friends have a rather raw taste of music..
Some like Dream Theater (which is prog band I donīt like  * and I think they like them as metal band and not as prog band) Very few others are listening to Indie-Rock and to bands scratching the prog definition
BUT: I once managed to put in an Alamaailaman Vasarat CD at a huge sporting event at our school  (Thanks to the school sound team which actually only listens to Techno) and after that
(the music didnīt last long, very soon the music was changed again  ) many pupils were asking me for this amazing band... hehe
*Because I canīt stand LaBrie; I am a huge Fan of Liquid Tension Experiment

Last weekend I was visiting a friend who lives about 2 hours away from my place. We travelled there by car (two good friends & myself) and I played them Umphrey's McGee - Local Band Does Good. They liked it! Although they got a little weary by the end ...

My friends don't like prog, I'm alone with this.  Only one of my friends listens from time to time Pink Floyd and he ripped copies of my Yes and King Crimson albums but I'm sure that he doesn't listen to them really. In general my friends are not as interested in music as I am.

While I do not choose frriends on the basis of the music they listen to, I find that we tend to recognize each other and if they listen to the same music, this certainly betters the relationship
However I have made friends through prog gatherings and they are not friends in general

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I know a few people in person who listen to a few prog bands, but I
don't know of any who are especially keen on the genre itself.

One friend, apart from those I write to/have met from here.
Most of my freinds like hip hop, dance music and some brit pop indie sh!t. Generally we dont discuss music. There's nothing to say. We can only see the bad in each others music choices.

I have a friend two friends who like Prog. Perhaps this is because we had a band that used to play interesting music many years ago. Most of the rest of them look at me strangely when I mention my music tastes.
It's interesting though. I found a collegue at work who likes prog!!! We had a lovely talk about Genesis. Sometimes it just takes the initiative to mention it in conversation.

i have a lot of friends who like prog, but I voted "other" because I have friends who like all kinds of music, (as I do) But having friends I can debate a new release with is good, music for me is not an insular past time, I like to share, and I am open to other types of stuff.....................disco anyone???
