I don't think prog music's the best idea of things to discuss/listen to at a party

You're probably right!!!

But it's always frustrating thath everyone does understand nothing about good music!

"Do we have to be stoned to understand your music!?"

That's the kind of remark I received from girls of my age in parties.

or something said by a guy that I work with. I borrow him "Carress of Steel" from Rush and when he gave me back the album, first comment he said about the album was about "Fountain of Lamneth" (Which is about 20 minutes) and told me:

"Hey! The musicians must feel asleep after a long song like this!"

Me and my wife on the car:

Me: "Ok, you´ve heard your Britney disc completely and have listened the first two songs again, it´s my turn"

She: "What?, are you gonna play your crap?"

............

Once, I has listening to "Apocalypse in 9/8", my mother crossed outside my room, looked at me and started moving like an african in a ritual......OH COME ON ¡¡¡¡¡

...........

Once I played "Inferno" by Metamorfosi and an 18 year old girl said his father used to listen to that. Being this a very rare album I questioned her what else his father listened...his father was there and I went to him..It turned out that he used to listen to 50´s and 60´s oldies.......COME ON ¡¡¡

........

A friend whom I gave a copy of a selection of best prog songs (120 mp3): "It sounds like something I could have liked"...... WHAT ?¡.

.........

Where to?

Bad:

I bet he was hot sh*t 100 years ago (about Peter Hamill)

This is video game music (ELP)

 

Good:

"I'm laughing because (Gentle Giant) is so good, its ridiculous!!"

"Banco kicks ass"  (from a hardcore punk friend)

 

My best story:

At a party, these two annoying preps asked if I listened to emo.  To get back at them, I told them I would let them hear what I listen two. My host likes Zappa so I told him to put on "Weasles..." and we were able to drive them from the room in 30 seconds.  Didn't talk to them the rest of the night...

How can someone who likes country criticise prog?

Don't know.  He makes me so angry sometimes

Both say : " BUY A HEADPHONES !!!!"

A very intelligent (no irony intended) friend of mine about any kind of more avant-garde music (a lot of prog included) and art in general - "I call stuff like this sh*t sculptures".
