I THINK SO ME TOO!! BUT I THINK ALSO OF A COUPLE OF IMPORTANT RECORDS FOR THEIR EARLY CANTERBURIAN AND POP PROGRESSIVE STYLE, SUCH AS: "MIRAGE" AND "MOONMADNESS", CONCERNING THE OLD TIMES (WITHOUT REGARDING OF THE SNOW GOOSE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BETTER PERFORMED INSIDE "A LIVE RECORD") PLUS "DUST AND DREAMS" AND "HARBOUR OF TEARS" OF COURSE (TALKING ABOUT THEIR RECENT COURSE), ABOVE ALL WHEN I LISTEN TO THEIR SPLENDID LIVE "A COMING OF AGE", RESUMING THOSE COUPLE OF EXCELLENT ROMANTIC PROG ALBUMS OF THE NINETIES!!

Well that's a strange fact - talking about young kids or women - while approaching to a kind of prog music They often go to a different place---probably a question of brainstorming, above all when They try to understand a so difficult music genre--- by getting crazy for some other stupid things, especially when They are tired!!

Talking about pets, when I was very young and often played the piano, my cat couldn't stand without listening to me, by hearing something very interesting for its ears...of course We can play romantic or symphonic prog without disturbing any pet; instead for instance such Zeuhl Music (think of Dun within their album "Eros" or some other complicated and too much brainstorming albums by Magma or Univers Zero...) can disturb any creature of the world, in some circumstances!!

It's also a question of humor!!

My cat perks up when I play prog too, but not in a good sense.

My cat seems to like King Crimson. At least he mellows out a lot when I play it.

This thread is ironic as my two nephews were over the other day. I was listening to Gentle Giant's Free Hand (the track), and they were dancing around like little psychos to it. Brought a big smile to my face. They are age 6 and 4.

I loved Supertramp when I was 4 years old (and I still love'em for some reason) And liked Divison Bell with Pink Floyd.

I loved King Crimson and Genesis at 10 too.

My kids are 6 and 9 and they love prog. They always want me to sing Zappa songs at bed time. They really like Pojama People. They listen to King Crimson and they like Deus Ex Machina because of the wierd Latin lyrics.

hahah... I would to... my kids love Magma but they've known nothing but

You are made of sterner stuff than I Micky. I don't know if I could live in a house where Celine, or (gasp) country, was a regular occurrence.

sterner stuff.. hahah.. nah... music isn't EVERYTHING.. (cough..cough hahahah) Wink

Besides I've perfected the art of the cranial jukebox... even when Celine is completely oversinging some simplistic pop drivel.... I've got Osanna's Palepoli pounding in my head.

Micky is one of my heroes just by that. I mean, it's not easy to live with someone who likes that kind of music. And cranial jukebox? Man, you are one tough nut to crack LOL

Ah yes the "Cranial Jukebox" I've been known to tap into that frequency quite often.

Where do I get one of those, Radio Shack? And, is it an implant, or something like a helmet?

I liked Queen a bunch when I was younger (as to whether or not they're prog, well, that's a different thread). Much like Australian with PAAE, I still love them as well.
