Everybody has tried to share his progressive music taste with his/ her friends.

I will share some of the reaction I had to swallow:

  • "Is this serious?"
  • "Nice, but how long is it going to continue?" (Dream Theater, Octavarium)
  • "You gotta be kidding" (Pain of Salvation, The Perfect Element)
  • "I know this. It is religious pop" (Pendragon, The Jewel)
  • "I always call this happy rock" (Dream Theater, SFAM)
  • "You are only listening this music to be rebelious" (VDGG, Godbluff)

Please tell me I am not alone. You probably had to stand worse remarks or even evil laughter.

"That's a guy?"

My mom when she first heard Geddy and, 15 years later, my wife when she first heard Jonsi.

"You would have no problem making late guests who seem to have no intention of leaving leave". (That remark occured when we put on some Magma).

My wife normally says "What the hell are you listening to now? You don't half listen to some strange music". Last night it was directed at Steve Hackett.

"Turn it down the house is shaking" often comes from my wife, kids and neighbours. Sadly early VdGG does not go down well round here , Thank goodness for MP3 players..

Most people do not understand the long intro's either.

"Where is the singer waiting for?"
"What I do not like about your music is that it takes so long before the song actually begins"

And the bad part is: You have enjoyed the intro very much. Thinking it builts up the song well. And now every time you hear the intro you think about the complain "Where is he waiting for".

It's come to something when your kids ask you to turn your music down! I normally get "Daddy stop making that horrible noise" from mine when I'm practising my guitar.

That's just reminded me. I played CTTE to a school friend and he reckoned the main guitar riff near the beginning sounded like "Singing in the rain". Some people are beyond help.

I have a good way with coverting people 2 prog music... It takes a long time, but eventually, I do it!

My hip-hop friends comment on Dream Theater was just "Whatever"...

Another of My friends "Ow God, this f*cking sucks"... talk bout constructive criticism..

And the worst part is, if we consider our decent remarks to the music of our friends.

Perhaps the worst remark one could make to our pop loving friends is that it is too commercial, or perhaps to shallow, ....or boring, or.....

Well, who knows we have made soem stupid remarks as well that are now being discussed in the forum on the site poparchives.com or something.
