Both my wife and work colleges independantly call Sigur Ros funeral music...
I hope they never get to compere notes at the christmas party..

(whatever funeral music is..! The last funeral I went to my mate used the song Madness by Madness as he was being cremeted. funny and strange at the same time.)

Me and my wife on the car:

Me: "Ok, you´ve heard your Britney disc completely and have listened the first two songs again, it´s my turn"

She: "What?, are you gonna play your crap?"

............

Once, I has listening to "Apocalypse in 9/8", my mother crossed outside my room, looked at me and started moving like an african in a ritual......OH COME ON ˇˇˇˇˇ

...........

Once I played "Inferno" by Metamorfosi and an 18 year old girl said his father used to listen to that. Being this a very rare album I questioned her what else his father listened...his father was there and I went to him..It turned out that he used to listen to 50´s and 60´s oldies.......COME ON ˇˇˇ

........

A friend whom I gave a copy of a selection of best prog songs (120 mp3): "It sounds like something I could have liked"...... WHAT ?ˇ.

.........

"Do we have to be stoned to understand your music!?"

That's the kind of remark I received from girls of my age in parties.

or something said by a guy that I work with. I borrow him "Carress of Steel" from Rush and when he gave me back the album, first comment he said about the album was about "Fountain of Lamneth" (Which is about 20 minutes) and told me:

"Hey! The musicians must feel asleep after a long song like this!"

 
"A Flower!!!"

I don't think prog music's the best idea of things to discuss/listen to at a party

My wife, after listening to some Rush in the car: "That's a man? [Geddy Lee] Whoa?! That's so mean! He's stealing a woman's job!"
(roughly translated)

Well, she laughed after that

You're probably right!!!

But it's always frustrating thath everyone does understand nothing about good music!

Surely if he/she is that conformist, then they would know that Yes aren't Garbage - they're too old, and don't have a female vocalist for a start... although many popsters might disagree that Yes don't have a female vocalist...

  1. My aunt  last week in my car (trying to sound intelligent) while I was listening Gothic Impressions by Par Lindh: "Oh God, how I love Bach"
  2. Mi girlfriend at 3:00 am trying to throw away people after a party had ended: "Please Iván put your King Crimson loud so everybody leaves"
  3. An ex girlfriend's father (shrink) after listening Battle for the Epping Forest: "Darling, watch out with that kid, nobody normal can listen this music".
  4. Another ex-girlfriend in the ELP concert after a fabulous performance of Karn Evil 9: "Hey Iván this is crap, when are they going to play Lucky Man so we can leave"
  5. My father's reaction when I played Pictures at an exhibition by ELP for him: "Hey, you're playing Mussorgsky, you're improving your taste....(1 minute later): This guys change everything.....(A couple minutes later): Take away that crap"

Iván

Back in the '70s, when all that stuff was new and most of my
teenage peers were into Led Zeppelin and (gag) Peter
Frampton, we'd always try to play Yessongs at parties, since for
us that really rocked. Invariably, during the slow organ section
of Close to the Edge, someone would come along snarling,
"What's this f**kin' CHURCH music, man?!?", and
commandeer the turntable with AC/DC or something...still
muttering, "f**kin' CHURCH music!".
