Both my boys (now 16 and 12) have been listening to 70s Prog and Genesis since, as my oldest son just said, birth.
My oldest just said, that the Gabriel years are the best

Teenagers and enjoy are mutually exclusive paradigms.

As a kid, I listened to the music of my older brothers, who were into Genesis, Yes etc. and I liked it a lot.

I ask this as my 13 yr old daughter asked me for some music to listen to as she settles down to sleep, as she knows i am way into music. I gave her Genesis' "Selling England By The Pound". She is listening to it right now, i heard 'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight' a moment ago.
I hope she can enjoy this type of music as I have heaps to give her if so. Also I can talk to her about it and its important to have an interest with your teen daughters and sons.
My question is then is it possible for teens to enjoy this type of early prog rather than the stuff on the radio that is churned out? I hope so, as then we would have a common interest. Interesting thought.... |
If she thought it annoyed you, she'd be into it like a fish into water. Annoying my parents is what led me to Pink Floyd.

Yes. I started properly listening to early genesis when I was about 13 and was familiar with some of their songs, The Return Of The Giant Hogweed for instance, well before that.

I'm 17 and I listen to progressive rock. :P selling England by the pound is one of my favorite albums too.
The music on the radio these days is 95% ....well...not good. Haha.

I enjoyed early Genesis when I was a teen. But now that I'm an adult, I can't stand Genesis.
