"Can we listen to actual music?"- My friend when we were listening to Elephant Talk (My other friend in the room is a KC fan, though).

"All the songs sound the same"....he was commenting on A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers from VdGG....just one song.

Another favorite moment...."Make it stop please"....another comment on A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers.

"Okay, I get the message now. They can stop now", and "This is WAY too long"  comments on Rudy by Supertramp and then moments later the radio played Hey Jude(a longer and very repetitive tune) and she was all good with it, singing along to it and carrying on.

Very close to what my mother generally says.

The best was from my girlfriend, when I was listening to some italian prog:
"These sounds comes from loony-bin, this is not music!"

and

"Turn ofа this screaming moron now!" (VdGG)

"I can't listen to prog it's too technical" - however, he has never listened to it correctly, he only says "technical" because thats what I call it

"Whoah, weird music" - Yes CTTE, Transatlantic All of the above, Gentle Giant So Sincere

"Oh my, insanity" - My girlfriend on Faust

"Seriously, what the hell is this" - a friend who likes rap on various prog bands

Oh and my best friend scrunched her face up and looked like she was having a very hard time trying to listen to VDGG's a Plague of lighthouse keepers.

"Sorry, I just think it sounds like background music" - A classical pianist friend of mine

Quoting Under,I will fill in my personal stuff:
  • "Nice, but how long is it going to continue?" (Dream Theater, Octavarium)
Only Dream Theater and Octavarium?How 'bout Klaus Schulze??How 'bout Tangerine Dream? How 'bout Vangelis? I get that to them all the time...
  • "You gotta be kidding" (Pain of Salvation, The Perfect Element)
In my case,to EVERYTHING PROG...
  • "I know this. It is religious pop" (Pendragon, The Jewel)
and Rick Wakeman...
  • "I always call this happy rock" (Dream Theater, SFAM)
Genesis
  • "You are only listening this music to be rebelious" (VDGG, Godbluff)
King Crimson,VdGG (indeed)

"They aren't even singing, it's just instrumental, who the hell would want to see that? That's a waste of money!"

Not a remark by a friend, but a jerk of a housemate, while watching my Dream Theater -  Live At Budokan DVD, This Dying Soul was just starting.

I was in the car with my friend with Lark's Tongues in Aspic on (bad move). Here are a few choice selections about the Crimso she had so say:

  • "I guess this is were our musical tastes diverge."
  • "It's the very antithesis of music in general"
  • "Could you listen to anything more annoying?"

Okay, so it's not that bad...but still.
