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 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 [IMG]height=17 alt=Tongue src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" width=17 align=absMiddle>).
Edit: I know no one who listens to it as avidly as me, especially when non prog-metal is concerned. |
Every time I see one of those "Coheed and Cambria" banners, I kind of think about cheese...

No of course....none of them even listen to
rock. If you lived in Miami, Florida, you would understand. 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

A few of my friends listen to surfaced prog metal (tool, dream theater) and bands like Rush and Pink Floyd, but none of them really listen to prog. Most of my friends listen to classic rock.

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

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

Other - it's a mix
My friends listen to all sorts - mainly metal/rock, but some prog - Porcupine Tree are quite popular.
My girlfriend listens to prog - she has excellent taste

Wow, i feel so lucky reading your posts. My friend circles are mostly proggers. Not just that, 2 of my 3 brothers are proggers, each of us prefers different styles of prog. Also many of my cousins are proggers.

Man your lucky. Most girls just listen to top 40 crap, even though they claim they like everything.
