I've got one friend who appreciates the musicianship but his taste is mostly classic rock and cheesy hair metal, my other friends tend to listen to the rubbish in the charts.

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

    

VERY lucky. I have never meet a girl who likes prog...

A lot of my friends listen to prog, although few would admit it openly. Wink

None f them. They don't know what is prog rock, and never hear about Pink Floyd! They listen carp pop, and the well-educated listen to MPB (Brazilian folk music, with touches of jazz and soul). The rst of the family think of music as a way of dancing, screaming or just annoying the nieghbourhood (the ones that listen to Rio Funk - please don't ask what is this)
Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.

Oh... you poor, poor soul. I too know the burden of friends with questionable musical tastes... As I've mentioned before, I have but one friend who 'likes' prog. However, it is only because I have sent him most of the music over the internet. I have another friend who is into classical rock and stuff, but does appreciate prog rock bands, solos and the like from prog songs.

 Cry I dont have any friends...........
No really it sucks because all the people I used to sit around and discuss and dissect and listen to prog with when I was younger, we've all moved away and kind of drifted apart. I feel like an outsider and totallly alone in my progness. My wife doesnt understand, she thinks I listen to alot of "weird" music. Thank God for the internet and places like this where I can vent.

None of my friends listen to prog, but one does listen to prog related artists (Brian Eno & Kate Bush) but that's because I introduced them to her. And when I put on a Can or Tangerine Dream album they don't mind cause they say it's "trippy" and "freaky"... lol.

My friends don't listen to prog, but they are quite openminded, so they are able to appreciate everything new and interesting. It's just they don't like prog that much.

I put "other", as I actually have a friend who is quite keen on prog - we exchange recommendations, and he knows this site quite well (though he's way too shy to take part in the forum!). Another friend likes Pink Floyd and ELP, as well as many classic rock artists such as Springsteen and Dire Straits. The others... well, some listen to new wave or such, others to classic rock and/or Italian quality music, others to classical music. When I was younger, however, most of my friends and acquaintances were heavily into prog (especially Genesis).
