Say 10 Hail Geddy's and you MIGHT be forgiven.
 
If we did that we would have to do the same to quite a few bands here.
 
Like Yes and Genesis....................
 
And I share one of your prog sins,but I think VdGG is 100% crap.(sorry VdGG fans,let me have my moment,I don't knock bands I don't like that often).

I don't know if this counts as guilty, but I would like to like Meshuggah since most of the PM fans here rave about them.  Yet I listen to their samples and get absolutely nothing out of it.

I absolutely disagree on Genesis (but you already know that), and I couldn't agree more on Rush.

I've never counted my albums, but I'm pretty much the same.  of my close to 3000 songs on my computer, probably 150 of them are from CD's I own.

Ok, truly truly.
I'm not a huge fan of Rush. Some of it I get, but mostly, ugh I doesn't hit me.
I'm in the process of developing my Genesis, Yes ear. I wasn't fond of them in my younger years, being heavily indulged in Floyd, Sabbath and Tull. But now they are growing on me.
Caravan. -LOVE the debut. Hit and miss with the rest. I sadly regret  the missing year (1969). It could've been a bit more "Caravan" and little less "If I Could..."
There, that is my sin.Evil%20Smile

Years ago I sold 2 LP's to a friend of mine.
When some time later I had second thoughts about selling them, I wasn't able to buy them back. And I never came across those albums anymore (LP or CD).

The first one was Mike Oldfield's "Collaborations" from his box-set "Boxed". IMO this album contains the best and most progressive guitar playing he ever did.

The other album was a Queen live bootleg from the pre-ANATO era called "Stunning". It had a very poor sound quality (illegal recording from the early 70's) but it contained 3 previously unreleased tracks. "See What A Fool I've Been" (yeah, right on the spot here! ), "Hangman" and a song whose title I've forgotten. "Hangman" was actually a very nice song.
I have been searching everywhere but I even couldn't find it in any collector's catalogue. I think it must be a real collector's item right now.
I'm running still,
I shall until,
one day I hope that I'll arrive

- I find most Italian symphonic prog tame and unoriginal.
- I find most post-rock predictable and unimaginative.
- I find most prog-metal a bit soulless, too technical, but mostly just silly..
- I find most modern symphonic prog too AOR-tinged and cheesy.
- I find most RIO/Avant-prog self-indulgent and needlessly complex.
- I find most Neo-prog corny and regressive.
- I find most krautrock interesting, but ultimately just unlistenable hippie drivel.

I better stop before I get my ass kicked... Embarrassed

I suppose those are pretty big sins around here. As someone wise once said: "90 % of everything is crap." Wink (I'm just kidding, I think Confused)

So, in conclusion...

+++deep breath+++

I AM A PROG FAN WHO HATES 'THE WALL'

That's better...




mind you, I enjoyed it when I saw them perform it in 1980 at Earls Court...
 
Me too - I could have respected Roger Waters if, after foisting a massively overblown double album about how awful it is being a rock star onto the general public, had retired from the music biz entirely and become a farmer or a hermit or something. I mean the album would still be crap, but at least it would have a point. But no, we got the Final Cut followed by a series of forgettable and largely incomprehensible solo albums and he still  hasn't cheered up.
 
Mind you, Comfortably Numb is a damned fine song.

I used to be in the Prog-Metal team for half a year, and yet I either haven't heard or don't care about the most popular bands of the genre.

I find the second funny since you are on the post-rock team; but I would agree, a large section of any subgenre will suck.
