who was listening to f**king prog in the 80's... with ALL that great other stuff out there..

I mean given the choice between ... hmmm.. say the Go-Go's and ...hah...Marillion.  Pffff....

the 80's ruled.. and it had absolutely NOTHING to do with prog.

Love Sherbet. One of (if not) the first band I got into at the tender age of 5 !! Still enjoy them, and Skyhooks, every now and then. Incidentally, Sherbet 'progged it out' on there version of Steven Stills' Chicago track - right down to Emersonian Hammond licks and Crimsonian Mellotron parts !! Not quite Sebastian Hardie, but awesome, regardless.

Yes very cool, well Skyhooks were considered much more cool back in the day........

I guess some people would consider Roxette a guilty please, but I do like their earlier albums, especially their 1994 album  Crash Boom Bang!

And some of the earlier Chris De Burgh albums are really great ie

Still insist on Kajagoogoo. My absolute fave from the 'sickly' 80's New-Wave Synth Pop genre. Just great musicianship, arrangements, and ideals. Still find plenty of time to squeeze in some of their albums / e.p.'s between Canterbury, R.P.I. and Tech / Extreme etc. All great fun

Siivagunner!


It's a collective of musicians that pretend to be one person uploading videogame music to the internet. But in reality the music that gets uploaded is altered. For example, they can take a tune from a videogame and change the melody to the Flintstones theme melody.

This band also has a plot. It's a concept band. There are even videos that show parts of the plot.


The music often uses musical memes. There are recurrent melodies.

I also have been a long time fan of The Sweet. I saw them when they were booked at my uni in c1973: I had to go as I was the new Entertainment Organiser and I was livid that my predecessor had booked a sh**ty glam rock band. They were absolutely AMAZING. They were excellent musicians and, apart from their hits, they played some excellent heavy rock of real sophistication. I booked them next year as well.

No reason to be guilty of those, Rammstein is top-notch industrial metal and Sweet is great fun heavy rock 'n' roll.

here is some music I got laughed at or thought to be crazy or weird for listening to LOL

A-ha - people who usually laugh at this band only know their first hit Take on Me; they usually changed their mind after listening something else from them (LOL)
Depeche Mode - well if you're into rock and metal, how can you listen to something like DM? yes, someone asked me that years ago.
Bon Jovi - I enjoy a lot of their songs, I also dislike several LOL
Foreigner - couple of my buddies laughed when they saw I had some of their albums
Metal in general - those singers that scream?

of course metalheads will laugh at me for enjoying little extreme metal - You're not a metalhead if you're not into death or black! LOL

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

I don't do guilt in my listening habits.  Right now I am listening to the latest album by Foghat and am really getting into it.  No frills blewzy rock 'n' roll.  This one sounds a little like AC/DC.
 
I never took The Carpenters seriously, but I have always admired Karen's voice.  I am glad to find out after so many years she was an awesome drummer, too.
 
Weird Al is a genius.
 
Sunday morning is our time for Hawaiian music.  Iz had an amazing voice and was a magnificent ukulele player.  There are many excellent slack key guitar players, such as Led Kaapana and Cyril Pahinui.
 
Speaking of guitar players, Chet Atkins was the man and Tommy Emmanuel will blow your mind.  There are so many possibilities with finger picking.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

For those of you who mention Sweet, how about "Love is like Oxygen". It has some proggy moments in it. Also, I like to give a call out to Jefferson Starship's album "Freedom at Point Zero.

I'd never heard of 311 before. I quite like the bits of that Transistor album I've listened to so far.
Having songs with a reggae backbeat that aren't totally boring is an achievement also imo.

^ I have friends ( a man and woman marriage team) that LOVES 311 so much that they have taken Carribbean cruises because of them. I'm not as much as a fan but i have found a few albums of them that i totally dig, big time! Especially their most recent

311 is one of the bands I grew up with, and they are still one of my favorites. They're not really prog, but they do have their moments of complexity. Their 'Transistor' album still practically lives in my CD player. Have a listen!

Also, I do occasionally enjoy some EDM/Dubstep (but don't tell anybody).

I am not ashamed of anything that I listen to. My wife, however, is ashamed for me.
