A more obscure example, but very very current! in the last half an hour I've just realised that I did NOT give Discus, an Indonesian avant-prog band, a fair crack of the whip. I listened to their imaginatively titled debut album (First) a few months ago and wasn't very impressed. I'm giving it another spin now and I just don't know what I was thinking! It's superb!

Really nice example, very interesting, even famous Dark Side Of The Moon can have such turn.

Anyway sometimes we should listen prog enough, because there is possibility "that album is boring" because you have listened that only once. Of course if iam listening an album 20x, it is objective already :)

That's the thing with alot of Prog you really need repeated listenings before it pays off, I used to hate the Pink Floyd Album 'Animals', and now its one of my favourites, when I started listening to it properly I realised just how bloody good it was.

My best mate [who is not a progger... yet ;)] hated Dark Side Of The Moon for years, now he plays it all the time, since taking up guitar [and he's good] he realised the amount of skill and suchlike involved, and likes the album.

Prog requires an active listener, Pop does not.

I'll let you decide who gets the better deal.

I guess that many prog rock listeners has that experience. iam listening some album, and i think to myself, what a terrible album, boring to me etc. And after few months, thats great !

for example me:

Yes - Relayer, i was confused (mainly gates of delirum), what the hell is that, my head oh :)
and after 2 months i love that !

another example: i was listening to genesis always 2 years ago, but lamb was (whole album) hard to accept, and after some months, its the best genesis album imho. So i guess some albums must mature inside you. Older listeners have surely some example: and after 20 years I love that ! or after 20 years i hate that ! etc. etc.

please tell me your experience with that, i am quite curious thx
sorry if that has been posted already....
