Topic: Attempt to make most annoying song produces prog Posted: October 22 2009 at 14:28 |
Well, ok, maybe not quite
A few scientists used a survey to figure out the most and least desirable elements in music, and combined all the least desirable elements into one 20 minute long monstrosity. Walmart, holiday jingles, children's choirs, opera-rap, bagpipes, and cheesy electronic drums are just some of the elements in this amazing freakshow. The best part, though, is that many passages in this song reminded me of prog anthems that we hold near and dear. Anyone else think so?

A while back I made the same post only to discover it was made earlier.

As I recall, it's not really a song, just a bunch of short snippets sticked together. There were some parts that sounded quite nice though.

Old story. And a poorly conceived opus.

Argh, doesn't anybody ever look at the dates of links before they post them?
However, I will always be a big fan of the opera rap.

I started listening to it once years ago, it wasn't really annoying, it just got boring.

The only thing that reminds me of this is the transitions to the various annoying sections
