BTW,my mommy likes LACRIMOSA,DREAM THEATER's ballads,guitaristic Neo-prog(COLLAGE,PENDRAGON,RED SAND,CLEPSYDRA and surely MARILLION) and some classic rock:PINK FLOYD,CAMEL,URIAH HEEP,DIRE STRAITS,IRON MAIDEN(!!!) and even OZZY!!!("Why they all call him a Devil?He's a nice clever guy,and his wife is a very smart woman").She also likes "Epitaph" from KC and "Easy" from Curved Air.
My father(he gave first guitar lessons ) likes BEATLES,DEEP PURPLE,URIAH HEEP,PINK FLOYD,OMEGA,AVTOGRAF,PESNIARY etc.I REALLY don't who was the first from them to listen to rock-music...I always thought that my dad introduced my mom to rock-world...but just look at her tastes!!!I guess I'll wake up one day to see my mommy digging in my CDs saying:"Where is Gentle Giant's Glass House?"

"What a crap...where the hell is growl?"
-from the guys with whom I play Doom-metal in my town...this happens everytime I'm listening to prog with them...only Opeth or Tool make them good:"Oh,well,that's close to what I call "Music"

"You'll never get f*k because of listening to that music all the time"

That was my childhood friend.I haven't seen him for ages.We use to listen to RAP years ago,and then he moved to another town.Few weeks ago he returned for some days,and I got to show him what I'm listening to now.

NB:He has a well-payed job and a new wh*re every evening.He says he's satisfied with his life.I'd like to believe him

I like trying to share prog with open minded friends but I mostly get from the narrow ones
"What a load of wank"
"How long does this song go for?"
and my least faviourite one when I showed my mates a DT concert
"That singer guy must have the worse job in the world, he sings like two words and then goes off stage for half an hour"

It took a long time, but now my friend finally likes Yes. I played Going For The One and Awaken for him and now he's asking for some more albums to borrow.
This is an electrified fairytale

I usually not share my music with other people because I imagine how they would react. But here are several remarks that I have received:
- "What a sh*t" after playing the beginning of Transatlantic "SMPTe"
- "What do you listen to?" Jethro Tull
- "They don't sing at all" after 30 seconds of instrumental play, then later "But it's the same melody all the time" about the Banks' piano play right before the famous powerful entrance of organs (both in Firth Of Fifth by Genesis)

This is the absolute truth, maybe it should be on 'Believe it or not'.

30 years ago I was with a friend of mine who bought Yes: Tales of topographic Oceans.
We went back to his place and played Side 1; Revealing Science of God.
We absolutely loved it. I said to him I thought it was amazing but it was rather short.
He agreed. He looked at his turntable. We had listened to the whole first side at 45rpm!
It actually sounded OK at that speed. Then we played it at 33rpm and the rest was history.
But what a bizarre way to get into Yes.

"i would seriously shoot a cd that had a 20 minute song if i had one because i would shoot my self before listening to a 20 minute song" when i poped echoes in at summer camp  and then he said "good god put the green day back on"     some people need to get shot in the face for stupidity and ignorance. 
true as a lobster in a pteredaktyl's underpants.

"Yea, its good but has solos so it has classic rock influenced, so its still classic rock."  upon listening to "Trains" by Porcupine Tree

 

This comment makes little sense and is wrong on so many levels i simply ignored it.

Usually I just get a "What is this?" from people I know. Some stuff I listen to that isn't even Prog gets these remarks.
