Do you get a tingly feeling when listening to prog - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Yes, but possibly only with Genesis, King Crimson & ELP. There are others in parts, but these are my "main men" so to speak.

i think its just electricity.

what you hear, how you feel it, and yes those precious goosebumps.

do you guys ever get images incited from music? not like hard ones but soft forms or ideas?

good prog makes me trip out on sh*t lol

I was just listening to something that went like this: boom - boom - chicka - boom, and I got a tingly sensation all over. But I don't think it had anything to do with the music. Tongue

Wow - that's one queer duck! Horny over porn MUSIC?

Great music gives me tingles, whatever the genre.

Just happened a minute ago, during Pink Floyd's "One Of My Turns".

My Last.fm

I listened to Pink Floyd's Animals this afternoon after years and years of not listening to it and I have to say Gilmour's solos really hit me as hard now as they did when I was listening to Pink Floyd more frequently. He just had a way of cutting right through the music and sting the listener one agonizing note at a time. Smile

Of the newer progressive rock music, the song by White Willow called Paper Moon really got to me, especially that very simple guitar solo from Jacob Holm-Lupo. Many of Steve Rothery's solos can have a lasting effect on me and I guess they do or I wouldn't be talking about them. Wink

His solos in Runaway, The Great Escape, Hotel Hobbies, Jigsaw, Season's End, among others. Sorry to be so guitar-centered, but I've been a guitarist of 21 years and I can't help but listen to what the guitarist is doing. Of course, I love other instruments as well and for the last 13 years or so I listened to more piano, violin, trumpet, saxophone (alto, tenor mostly), vibraphone, etc., so it's refreshing to be getting back into the guitar again.

when i hear prog metal i get the tingling feeling telling me to go switch it off...................

For me, many fine guitar solos from Roine Stolt gives me that feeling. Also, that Swiss church organ played by Rick Wakeman on 'Awaken' from Yes-GFTO...

This thread is all about what the chemical dopamine can do and reward-driven learning innit? Why does the stimulus have to be Prog though?

Because we're on a prog site, and this was posted in the prog lounge.

I love dogs, I've always loved dogs

Nobody said it has to be prog, just that prog can be one.

Stagnation by Genesis is just sublime. The last batch of melodies in that song are so beautiful; gives me goosebumps every single time. The songs dynamic make it one of my favourite Genesis songs, and not to mention Tony's keyboard solo - gets my blood pumping and puts a huge smile on my face. Big smile

Yeah, that's a good one.
