18 year old kid I play basketball with, after listening to Tom Sawyer by Rush for all of 30 seconds:
"Don't you listen to any rap?"

With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.
With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. and you still have the frog you started with.

I was listening to Back in NYC, and someone complained about Gabriel's voice.
Once I gave someone a prog education, and I started playing CTTE and Tarkus, and she said "I thought prog was a modern genre."

wife: "Can we please lower this?"
we?
wife: "He looks like Liberace". On seeing Jon Anderson's outfit the one and only time I ever took her to see Yes.
son number 1: "He sounds like a girl". On hearing Jon Anderson.
son number 2: "Is this Frank Zappa?" On hearing anything remotely strange sounding that he's never heard me play before.
My great Aunt Mary: "THIS IS DISGUSTING!" On hearing the song I Am The Walrus, Christmas Day, 1970. My mom had bought me Magical Mystery Tour for a Christmas present. My first prog album ever!!! The only stereo we had was in the family room. I couldn't help it if she was sitting in there.

When long instrumentals: "It's so boring!!!!"
When Yes playing: "Are they gay?" or "That sounds cheesy"
When King Crimson: "What's the point in this? It gives me headache"
When ELP: "Oh my God, this can exist??!!!"
and so on...

Iv had:
'I like it but it is too long'
'How long does this go on for'
'So your going to write music and call it experimental'
But generally Iv had sneers and looks of disgused when I mention the dreded words 'pro-rock'.
