I hate that 35745748 hour long Green Carnation song. It came on my Last.FM radio once and I banned it.
Also, when people on ProgArchives diss Tool or DT or sh*t I like, I get mad and call them old-prog-loving snobs.
Yeah, and I own every KoRn, Queens of the Stone Age, and System of a Down album. Very not-prog, but some of my favorite work.

Hey sweet sixteen. I wouldn't be surprised if what you think of as your prog sins will change quite a bit over the next couple of years.

I love Pink Floyd, I really do...
...but I think 'The Wall' is the main reason most people don't like prog; had it been the first prog album I'd heard, I would be going to Sugarbabes concerts nowadays; boring, self indulgent twaddle, and I also think Roger Waters is a git.
So, in conclusion...
+++deep breath+++
I AM A PROG FAN WHO HATES 'THE WALL'
That's better...
mind you, I enjoyed it when I saw them perform it in 1980 at Earls Court...

I don't like "A trick of the tail" by Genesis, even though Genesis is one of my fav bands.
I have never heard to "Divine Wings of Tragedy" nor "Twilight in the Olympus" , I simple have no idea how they sound.
I hate Everon and Twelfth Night
I hate Octavarium above all things

I lost my vinyl collection a few years back. It was rather large, and contained original issues of Beatles albums, Yes, Rush, The Doors, Genesis, Donovan, Peter Gabriel, and many more.

I haven't heard Brain Salad Surgery. Should I feel guilty? If yes, why?

I really think Brain Salad Surgery is awful. And I don't know its good deep inside. I'm more scared I'd feel its even worse if I heard it again now, than when I gave it that two star rating. Oh, here's my biggest sin. Someone managed to talk me into joining them on Dream Theater concert once. (In my defense I hadn't really heard them yet). I can never forgive myself.

Holy crap son, you listen to music you like AND you're at this prog site? This place was made for people who hate their music and want to talk about it! Hell, I hate half the stuff I own...

I hate Yes, primarily because of Jon Anderson's monotonous drawl and nonsensical lyrics.
There.
I feel better now  |

Because the music didn't come from Cantabury England AND Brain Salad Surgery is hardly a bunch of BSS. It's really quite sexy. Unless you already hate ELP (or are just scared to admit you're in love with them), in which case, yeah, you probably won't like 'em at all. It hardly pisses ME off at least, at least, not until towards the end, but it's sorta redeemed, so it's all good. The first bits are mostly all great anyway.
HEY! ROCKTOPUS! THE "PROG SINS" THREAD HAS BECOME A "DEFEND THE PROG YOU DON'T HATE" THREAD!
