I own a Coheed and Cambria album and like a few songs.

Apart from that, I'm sin free.

Oh wait...

Godspeed You Black Emperor! are boring and over-indulgently naff.

I own a VdGG Mug, t-shirt and keyring, as well as two The Long Hello vinyls.

Absolutely!

Mr Waters, if you're out there...

For all our sakes...

CHEER

-I agree with the general statements about Prog Metal
-I love pink Floyd, but the 60's stuff is a load of crap to me
-For that matter, all early 60's space rock is crap

And last but not least....

-I listen to Genre's other then Prog! *Gasp!*

Toccata may indeed be in the very top of all prog compositions and performances..

I'VE GOT ONE! Fifth of Furth. Never saw the big deal.

Yeah. Good fight. If you excuse me, I hear a proto-hammond organ solo screaming for aid.

What a riot!
Whistler, keep up the good fight bro.Thumbs%20Up
For the record, my casual-didn't mean any harm-list, was a JOKE.
The bands I listed I love, except Rush (file under tolerate), and highly respect.

I better stop before I get my ass kicked... Embarrassed

I suppose those are pretty big sins around here. As someone wise once said: "90 % of everything is crap." Wink (I'm just kidding, I think Confused)

I find the second funny since you are on the post-rock team; but I would agree, a large section of any subgenre will suck.

So, in conclusion...

+++deep breath+++

I AM A PROG FAN WHO HATES 'THE WALL'

That's better...




mind you, I enjoyed it when I saw them perform it in 1980 at Earls Court...
 
Me too - I could have respected Roger Waters if, after foisting a massively overblown double album about how awful it is being a rock star onto the general public, had retired from the music biz entirely and become a farmer or a hermit or something.

Mind you, Comfortably Numb is a damned fine song.
