 Something to do with Gong?
Actually... I don't drink much tea... too difficult to prepare for me... 
By the way, I also like The December people.... So let me join the fool-show...
Who are we kidding? Being a prog fan is already being 50% fool....

Loved him in that episode of Monk, where they tried to play Georgia on the radio together.

I don't really watch Monk.
Lets be more precise.
I have watched the end of one episode of Monk! 
I love House though.

i've read whole discussion and my view is that Hazards of love is undisputed masterpiece, one of this years best release , and surely it is Progressive , also i can say it Cranes wife is also Prog , other albums has some touch of prog, but what is Prog anyway ? just sound alike 70' bands ? not adding new , fresh sound .. i don't think so. Am i fooled , i don't care at all, it is very good music for me , and was the happiest fool in the world when first heard HoL

^ I think the key is to know that it's not a simple decision between liking only a few albums and liking everything ... some people like a large number of albums from many genres, but still are quite particular about what they like. I am such a person ... although I sometimes come across as liking everything, I'm actually quite picky.

That's right, Mike  ! I like lots of different stuff, and it's a matter of pride to me. I'm willing to give anything a try before I dismiss it outright... And I'm surely not the kind of person who calls other people fools for liking what I don't. We should all be a bit more tolerant, I believe...

I'm assuming you never saw Emerson sitting at the spinning piano, which was of course pure theatrics. |
Probably I was misunderstood , theatrics are to me dressing like a flower , puting a fox head and a red dress , acting. Keith Emerson , on the other hand was just fooling around the stage while playing. He never had the intention to get you into the song like for example Peter Gabriel does with his stage presence.
In the end , I am not saying the band is bad just that I enjoy the musicianship and "in your face" playing more than other aspects. If they are prog or not , I just don't care.

Colin Meloy: "Hay guy, let's make people think we're making prog-folk
when in fact we are making only folk-rock? That way we
can....make.......more.......money?"
Other band members: "What the hell is wrong with you?"

sounds like a good note to close the thread on.... if the OP and others don't think it's prog... great... but who cares. Enough think it is prog to have the band listed here. Many think it is great music... prog or not. It doesn't have to be prog to be great music.
I'd put Willie Nelson on over Dream Theater 7 days a week....52 weeks a year hahah.
