Both The Beatles and (especially!) The Doors are Prog...
 
Back to the poll question: no way! Well, some of them do, but they don't know it's called Prog...
 
They actually refuse to admit them as "prog"...
 
To whom "they" is referred?
 
My friends who think prog is all about Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Focus and Jethro Tull.

One does although he likes the neo stuff more than I do. The other ones always look at me with a frown on their faces when I play Prog.

Some of my friends do. I have a friend who likes groups like Opeth, King Crimson, Rush, Yes, and Frank Zappa as well as Mr. Bungle and things like that. On the whole, though, not a lot of them listen to the stuff I do.

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).

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.
dont worry you have A LOT of friends here.you contact some by the e-mail adress and  made some friends w ho are like youThumbs Up

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.

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.
