Your brother like country!!

I wonder what has been the mutual consensus of the music while driving for holidays or the weekend. Some of Jethro Tull maybe or Kansas?
Or maybe is older and stronger and you had to listen all the way to the south of France to Dusty Springfield and Dolly Parton. Aaaii.

I mostly don't care what others are thinking about prog, and when I put on some music when my friends are with him I put it for my own pleasure, and not to expose them to it.

Though, ones I've tried to expose a friend of mine to prog, I choose Camel. He said it stinks. The next day on the bus he told his best friend Camel sucks.
Couple of days ago (after a year) he asks me for recommandations of Camel. Snow Goose. After he heard it, suddenly he liked it. Ironiclly, that is the same album as I've given him last year.
Too bad this friend of mine only thinks of pose, and wants to play Camel on the electric guitar so it will be his 'style'.

Currently I've got one friend who I think can enjoy prog. Too bad he's not that interested right now. Luckily, he's not as stupid as the poser

"Rush? That sounds like some sort of russian popband?(thinking about 10 sec then says) then they must be communists! then you're a communist!"

Maybe a little esoteric?

I was in the car with my friend with Lark's Tongues in Aspic on (bad move). Here are a few choice selections about the Crimso she had so say:

  • "I guess this is were our musical tastes diverge."
  • "It's the very antithesis of music in general"
  • "Could you listen to anything more annoying?"

Okay, so it's not that bad...but still.

"They aren't even singing, it's just instrumental, who the hell would want to see that? That's a waste of money!"

Not a remark by a friend, but a jerk of a housemate, while watching my Dream Theater -  Live At Budokan DVD, This Dying Soul was just starting.

Quoting Under,I will fill in my personal stuff:
  • "Nice, but how long is it going to continue?" (Dream Theater, Octavarium)
Only Dream Theater and Octavarium?How 'bout Klaus Schulze??How 'bout Tangerine Dream? How 'bout Vangelis? I get that to them all the time...
  • "You gotta be kidding" (Pain of Salvation, The Perfect Element)
In my case,to EVERYTHING PROG...
  • "I know this. It is religious pop" (Pendragon, The Jewel)
and Rick Wakeman...
  • "I always call this happy rock" (Dream Theater, SFAM)
Genesis
  • "You are only listening this music to be rebelious" (VDGG, Godbluff)
King Crimson,VdGG (indeed)

"Oh,dear God,you really like this s*it?" about Hammil
"NO VOCALS?BLEAH!" about anything without vocals (doh!)

"I can't listen to prog it's too technical" - however, he has never listened to it correctly, he only says "technical" because thats what I call it

"Whoah, weird music" - Yes CTTE, Transatlantic All of the above, Gentle Giant So Sincere

"Oh my, insanity" - My girlfriend on Faust

"Seriously, what the hell is this" - a friend who likes rap on various prog bands

Oh and my best friend scrunched her face up and looked like she was having a very hard time trying to listen to VDGG's a Plague of lighthouse keepers.

"Sorry, I just think it sounds like background music" - A classical pianist friend of mine
