Do your friends listen prog?

 

 

 

   We´re only a few the lucky ones on my group of friends the ones who listen prog

The rest of them listen not prog rock or "cumbia" ...which is very funny. But I don´t blain them because here it´s difficult to know the prog bands

Theres one friend at my school who listens to prog, actually for the most part we share very similar tastes in music.  For instance we both like Joy Division and New Order.  More to the point, the he listens to a lot of prog, many genres of prog.  To be honest, I can talk about prog/classic/modern rock forever and initiate countless discussions everyday, however, we seem to drift into conversation other than musc.  However, occaisonally he will suggest a band to me, and usuallay i will heed his advice and search the band he recommended. 

His prog includes: 

Sigur Ros

Brian Eno

Mr. Bungle and Fantomas

Tool

King Crimson (I believe this is his favorite band)

Yes

Van Der Graaf Generator

Dream Theatre

Pink Floyd

CAN

Porcupine Tree

Faust

Radiohead

Frank Zappa

The only thing my friends listen to is rap, salsa, and reggaton (dont ask). This does not really bother me much becouse I used to be the same anyway before I stumbled upon King Crimson, Anglaguard, Gentle Giant, etc....Let me tell you,  anyone who listens to prog let alone rock here in Miami is a rarity. I feel your pain

estamos en lo mismo entonce

YES!! In fact we're almost a brotherhood... really... We also make reunions once a month to listen our new acquisitions... even my grilfriend likes some prog such as Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Asia Minor, Anglagard, Anekdoten and White Willow...

I have one friend who is really into it, a few who accept and like a little bit of it and the rest hate it.

i have a few, but most havn't even heard of the term 'prog-rock', mainly pink floyd fans.

I voted for "other" because most of my friends (I'm in high school, here) are blissfully unaware to the realm of prog rock music. I do know kids who listen to Tool, Dream Theater, and the like...mostly the more popular prog-metal out there, though not knowing that it's genre is in fact 'prog.' My girlfriend does enjoy Yes, Coheed and Cambria, and Radiohead. But on the whole, most of my friends haven't even discovered prog unless I have broadened their horizons (which I've done in a few cases ).

I have prog friends but only because I showed them the magic prog can bring. The good part is that almost all of the people I show prog to they tend to like it.

Sometimes.
- One likes Jethro Tull for the excessive flute
- One randomly checked out Remedy Lane after I raved about it, now is going to check out Üdü Wüdü after I raved about it
- One has Pink Floyd, Opeth, Tool and Genesis as four of their top artists on last.fm (of course, he has Dr. Dre and Eminem in the top twenty as well)
- One likes Pink Floyd, Tool and Dream Theater

I'm in quite a proggy circle of friends. Or rather, I'm in a circle of friends who appreciate plenty of good music including prog.
