Yes: Cure for the Insomniac!

I'm sure you are OFUR, you have his style!!!!, Unless the OFUR alter-ego cames into this thread.

What do you think about Captain Beefhearth, Zappa's humor and 200motels?

Just to have your opinion... nothing related to anything else...

To explain again, I'm not slogging. I am critically and musically analysing and basing my judgement on that. Oh and as a side note, I don't think i ever said I didn't like it. I might actually enjoy Yes. All I have said so far is that I don't enjoy it from a MUSICAL perpective. Critically and musically analysing?  With comments like "this music is just plain boring", "crappy old school prog rock"?  And you may not have said explicitly that you didn't like it, but saying "If i want to fall asleep or have a good laugh, I'll listen to Yes" pretty much says that you don't like it. If you wanted people not to take your opinions seriously, you went about it the right way.

Ok i swear this is the VERY LAST time I am typing this... please read all my posts in this thread, and remember not to take everything you read seriously.

I don't see any critical/musical analysing in your first thread. OK, you didn't exactly say you didn't like it but you did say it's "just plain boring" "crappy old school prog rock".

Admit it, you're Ofur in disguise!

Great a hidden message after all.
In fact, not a hidden message, but a secret double User, trying to clear his past and create a new indentity as a prog intellectual.

If you see a newbie with the name "Below", stating he knows prog as well as white bread, do not think it is me.

Wow ! People like you are very funny who come here and think having the absolute verity and bash other's opinion just because your a musician, even if MANY MANY people here are musician, and often with more experience than you. You'r not a god of music, you're just a bachelor of music !

So you came here thinking you have a revelation, a vision ! LOOK LOOK, LISTEN TO ME, I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTNANT TO SAY !! I had a vision yesterday ! You're all fools, old prog is crap and boring! I will prove you with my REAL reviews, because I'm a REAL musician and you're all not. If you still don't understand my point, it's because you're not as skill as I in a musical point of view.

Come on ! I don't care what music you like, and I don't even care about your musical analysis. I found genesis, and jethro tull brillant and Dream Theater and all prog-metal absolutely boring, so what ? It's my taste and you cannot change it. Don't think your point will be see as THE point of view. Even after reading your magnificient reviews, people will not say: Yes, he is right, Genesis is really s**t.

Sort of like a small child who keeps yelling until his parents finally give in out of embaressment and buy him that toy he so desperately needs (but which will find its way to the back of the closet within 24 hours).

Grow up.

Do you think I'm not aware of this? As i stated before, I am merely giving a musical analysic on close to the edge because i was asked to on this thread.  i couldn't care less if you just brush it off. But then again, not everyone is you.
