The Say Something Nice Thread

I love music. Music can be good regardless of genre.

It's a Beatiful Day....

Art Rock rules over all the other wonderful genres/sub-genres.

My favourite band is the 'Enormous Creature of Honourable and Quiet Disposition', less enigmatically known as GG.

Fusion is up there too.

Prog metal, also = MALE GROPT. I don't mind a bit o' the old gropt here and there myself.

I can't remember saying that much terribly nice about gropt before, whether male or female. Isn't this just wonderful!

Something Nice

All prog pwns in some way. It's not the genre that matters; it's the actual music in the genre. I love a lot of jazz rock, but I'd take a good Neo album over a mediocre jazz rock album any day.

Agreed, I was losing direction with music before I discovered progressive rock, I just didn't know where to go to find actual GOOD music.  Prog rock offers many, many more options than I had ever seen before. 

Music is not a possesion but something that never leaves you.

Robert Smith is a genius.

prog metal can also be resolved as "leptogram" and since google cannot find any sane hits for the word, i'm coining it as "a unit of pseudo heaviness." as a nod to the word "zeptogram."

because that's so cynical I feel compelled to take part in this thread for real:

I LOVE
Art Rock: because collecting disparate bands under one ambiguous marquis is very progressive
Canterbury Scene: because I love bands that are just different configurations of other bands
Experimental/Post Rock: because its existence helped me decide to investigate what came before
Raga-prog: because there's more to life than western consonance
Italian Prog: because I love radical musicians
Krautrock: because it helps indie kids into prog
Neo Progressive: because the album covers are so delightfully kitschy
Prog Folk: because it gives female vocals the best chance to shine
Prog Related: because it's a genre tag attached to an entirely unquantifiable genre and I love irony
Progressive Electronic: because I like to be able to imagine how it feels to have my brain sizzle
Prog Metal: because it gives me a definition of pretentiousness when I need to employ one
Proto-Prog: because it gave rise to metal =P
Space Rock: because it gives me a reason not to group pink floyd with all my symphonic mp3s
Avant Garde Prog: because (a mixture of the RPI and Prog-Related reasons)
Symphonic Prog: because I like silver cloaks
Zeuhl: because it's the best music made on any planet!

The sun is shining and it's a beautiful morning and my cousins are visiting us and we're off to grandparents after some classes, and we're going to see a hockey game today. How could a day get any better \:D/ Oh, now I know. /me puts some great music on!

Caravan, because I love cantenbury scene.
PRR, because it's my current most played album.
Björk, because it's always great.
Talking Heads, for a change.
OO happy day! And some Niemen too!
