Worst prog remarks from friends

 I cant wait to get     donald Fagans new cd(Morph the cat  3/14/06) my wife hates steely dan & DF 2 solo cds

One thing that annoys me to no end is when Im listening to instrumental music (Liquid Tension Experiment, Camel the Snow Goose, early rick wakeman, or any Guitar virtuoso's of today) and people ask me "When does he start singing? It isnt a song if theres no singing." Almost everyone asks me that when the hear it. That annoys the hell aout of me for some reason.

And even though its not prog, one time i was picking up a friend to go to a party, and I didnt think of his taste in music when I loaded a cd into the car stereo. I was listening to Beethoven's 5th Symphony and really getting into it as I usualy do when I listen to any of Ludwig's work. When he got in the car and I started it again, he said "Eww man what the hell is that crap? Lets get on some Blink 182." I told him to find a differant ride or put up with it.

Another time I was listening to ELP in the car and this girl who was with me on a date said "Can we put on some Fall Out Boy? I dont like this old crap."  I didn't call her for a second date.

I have a suggestion - sell your friends/parents/relatives etc. into slavery and use the money to get yourselves some prog CDs.

My parent's on any long instrumental:
"Why is there no singing?  Why is it just 'music'?"

My dad on Pain Of Salvation's Be Live:
"These guys sure do have long hair..."

Next one is from my 7 year old cousin on Opeth's Leper Affinity though so it's excusable :
"Why are they singing 'I am a baby' for?"

From a friend on Dream Theater's Instrumedley:
"It just sounds like a mish mash of noise"

My brother:
"They're just yelling, screaming and banging stuff."

"What the **** is that sh*t?"(Jethro Tull - Fylingdale flyer)
"These guys are totally ripping off AC/DC"(KIng Crimson - 21st century schizoid man)
"The lyrics suck"(Tool - Aenima)
"The vocalist don't know sh*t"(Tool - Aenima)
"He's screaming like he's being sodomized"(Rush - 2112)

Put Rush on the jukebox at my local pub & my mate is this "The Darkness"........I ask ya!

I hope you punched them!

When long instrumentals: "It's so boring!!!!"

When Yes playing: "Are they gay?" or "That sounds cheesy"

When King Crimson: "What's the point in this? It gives me headache"

When ELP: "Oh my God, this can exist??!!!"

and so on...

wife:  "Can we please lower this?"

wife:  "He looks like Liberace". On seeing Jon Anderson's outfit the one and only time I ever took her to see Yes.

son number 1:  "He sounds like a girl". On hearing Jon Anderson.

son number 2:  "Is this Frank Zappa?" On hearing anything remotely strange sounding that he's never heard me play before.

My great Aunt Mary:  "THIS IS DISGUSTING!" On hearing the song I Am The Walrus, Christmas Day, 1970. My mom had bought me Magical Mystery Tour for a Christmas present. My first prog album ever!!! The only stereo we had was in the family room. I couldn't help it if she was sitting in there.
