I would venture to guess that symphonic prog fans have one thing in common:  access to either the internet or their own music player.  Because they sure won't hear it on the radio.

I'll drop the bomb on you all:

How about  TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS (Yes, 1973)?


I mean... do you really like it?

Big smile

Hm, Yes that's obvious - but I wasn't claiming that music is divisive or inclusive...just wondering if there is some gene or set of gene's which leads a brain to develop a certain response to the genre? or is it environmental??

Personally I think it's left-handed people and folks who adore asparagus that are mostly into symph. It used to be my second fave sub, back when I first started frequenting PA, but then I dropped the asparagus because my female friend at the time claimed it made my fluids stink....go figure.
Nah, I think there are just as many Ethiopian bodybuilders into symph as there are Norwegian flamenco dancers. No such thing as one common denominator, except for the music.

I have been revisiting this little Portuguese gem the past couple of days, and it really hits the mellotron spot:


Definitely worth the stretch if you're on the look out for some "new" and exciting symphonic beyond the confines of Britain methinksSmile

^If music is supposed to unite sex, skin colour, ages, generations, etc., then neither prog rock nor any kind of music should take apart.

Possibly covered in hundreds of other topics I know! But what is your typical Demographic of a person who's favourite releases of all time are (typically (70's));
Selling England By the Pound, Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme
Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans, Going for the One
More Contemporary
SMPTe ; Garden of Dreams ; Stardust We Are ; Space Revolver ;
Subterranea ; Dark Matter ;
What ESSENTIAL demographic would link every (or a vast majority of?) datum in this set of peoples??
Beard?
Sex?
Skin Colour?
Current Age?
Is there a specific gene that links all these people??
oooooh controversial !!!
