I've not watched a lot by this guy (Just JP)  but I like how he dives a bit deeper than most do into some great prog rock, and has some very detailed/intelligent commentary.

...and speaking of Just JP:  I just found (for the first time after a few searches) the first reaction I've seen to Renaissance --by him.  I've been wondering when someone would finally react to them!

Here's his reaction to Ashes Are Burning, calling it "The perfect Prog Song":

A guy named JustJP makes some good reaction videos, not just to prog. He is honest, and he has good taste. Here a few examples:

I just never got the appeal of the whole, "Hey everyone, these two guys are hip hop fans and they're listening to PROG! Wowza! Let's all take a gander!" thing on YouTube. 

I understand that it's good seeing people enjoy the music you like, especially when all you hear is mostly hate about it from the general public, but it's just not entertaining watching people listening to a song I already know. And their comments about it are fine, and at least more thought out than most, but still not that interesting to be honest.

Yes, he's done several Rush videos, including the entire Fountain of Lamneth and 2112, both of which he quite enjoyed. Thats why at the end of this one, he says "...I knew they had it, but I didn't know they had it quite like that!"

Jamal's reaction to the rap part is hilarious! He appears to have been taken completely off guard  -- Long pause, then "Who was That??!!"

(I've watched it like 6 times now; still cracks me up!)

This guy loves Going For The One, like he's having a religious experience!!:

(There's a part 2 video, but for some reason couldn't put in this message).

I was junior high when I first heard this...how do music fans get to college before hearing Rush?

Late to the party here, but this Youtuber has an entire playlist reacting to Foxtrot:


He seems to really like Can-Utility and the Coastliners:




Good taste! It's my favorite Genesis song by far. 

Also a Dream Theater playlist (not to my taste, but I know many are fans):

^ Yup saw that one Sunday......Ryan's a trip. But they clearly understand musicianship, at least at a better than surface level.
Country has been ruling their reactions for sure. I wonder if they really add these songs to their "playlist".

You're talking George and Ryan again--yeah I saw that.  Maybe sometime in the future they'll get into classic Prog, but for now they seem completely focused on Metal and Country. Probably because most of their fans/commenters are younger-generation.

Is there a metal heads or rap fans reacting to prog? And I don't mean Pink Floyd or Rush but any other prog bands?


Yes, of course.  Most of the reactors seem to be younger Hip-hop listening millennials.  Most don't focus on "prog", but they end up reacting to a lot of prog.
