Your music sucks

I laugh at every person who announces these stupid bands as masters of music. They aren't even half good, much less masters.   Everyone these days listens to this embarrassing metal music. I took a listen to Meshuggah, and it was just noise, no talent whatsoever. Another guy here made me listen to some song by Between The Bread and Me to convince me that metal was creative, and he thought it was just brilliant because they had a minute of a bluegrass band playing in their song. And then there's this stupid band named Tool that just sucks altogether.   Metal is crap.   The only good music has been made before 1989. Anything after it is garbage. Absolute drivel.

Don't you mean 1789? Romanticism ruined music.

I know. They all just try to sound like Dream Theater, who sucks as it is.

These albums are mere showings of how terrible this music is, and you should all be ashamed of listening to it. Especially you. That's right, you heard me, or read me. First off, it is all built on forcing yourself to like it. Some artists and pants-wetting fans might toss around words such as "deep" "complex" "meaningful" or the best one "it's a grower". These people have stunted mental growth, and should be arrested for attempted assassination...of good music. It is obvious that progressive rock is inferior to all other genres of music, especially new age-classical and punk rock. Anyone denying this has low self esteem issues and glandular disorders. Pink Floyd? They did nothing but make one note guitar solos for whole albums, and are a complete and utter waste of time to listen to. That whole avantgarde shtick is ridiculous. What is that, they are good because they purposely play material that isn't music? I'd say these terrible artists such as Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Henry Cow were just bumbling drug abusers, rather than musicians. Your musical taste sucks, and you should all go listen to a REAL album, like the Dirty dancing soundtrack, or a Judas Priest tribute album.

One thing that irritates me about prog is how bands are complex for the sake of being complex. Like Atheist, or Spastic Ink. Why on earth would anyone wanna listen to a song that interchanges between 139/256, 666/512 and π/4?

Then you're on a Prog Site because???
At what I HOPE is a beautifully sarcastic post.
To be fair you actually make decent points.

^ That being one. I DO think some bands over do it, for the sake of being complex. Though a song inπ/4 would be sweet!  
Many prog bands you DO have to force yourself to listen to... it can be, (as well as its fans) very pretentious, and im sure there are some bands out there with no musical talent that go for avant-grade/experimental.

I love prog!

counting out an irrational number of beats doesn't seem like a good proposition to me. 

12/4 + 13/4 is a good enough approximation for most circular ears.
