Here's a list of songs/pieces that I believe are very highly regarded by many prog fans but leave me completely cold
(I guess it's my loss c/f nacrissistic w***kery)
1 - Close to the Edge Yes - the string of pearls that dreamed of being a diamond tiara
2 - Thick As a Brick Tull - the parody that came to represent what is being parodied
3 - Arrow VDGG - the tortured artist bites the hand that feeds him
4 - Moonchild Crimson - stoned hippy amateurish noodling
5 - Echoes Floyd - stoned hippy professional noodling
6 - Lizard Crimson - how to stretch going from straight to swung time in 20 minutes
7 - In My Time of Dying Zep - gives 'interminable dirges' a bad name
8 - Interstellar Overdrive Floyd - good loving home required for affectionate little orphan riff
9 - Formentera Lady Crimson - stoned hippy semi pro noodling
10 - Elektrolurch Mutation Guru Guru - smug hippy garbage
If anyone feels sufficiently narcissistic today, head over to the Rogues Gallery thread and indulge yourselves.
Get the hand lotion ready fellas....

Dang, our tastes couldn't be any more different. TFTO and TAAB our my favourites from them, I absolutely adore GG, Plague is a masterpiece, Fracture is underrated, Animals is one of my favourite albums ever, and Sound Chaser is my second favourite Yes song.

Probably mostly from me I like nearly all Genesis music , so much beauty and brilliance and then there is this track where they do stupid voices and is 5 times as long as Benny The Bouncer. If only there was something remotely interesting about it.  |
I like the wordplay, and the general story telling. From the day I've had this album that track never stood out as unworthy to me and I sing along happily every time it plays |

bah..... that kind of talk is overrated. Too of much good old fashioned common sense can wreck an internet forum and leave us nothing to do but swap spit in the shower and hold hands by the campfire and sing hymms together. Boring  so yeah.. both of you are overrated. Take that hah. We need a most overrated forumite thread. That is what we need.
