 Topic: What style of prog do you like least?
Posted: December 26 2006 at 20:13 |
Ok, the tendencies are clear now and no need of extending this poll.
As pointed by Mike, the 2 sub-genres most productive and effective in the last 20 years are also the most "disliked", but it happens when you are more exposed. Either sub-genres are probably those with more followers nowadays, hence certainly the most "liked" too.
Liking or not, neo-prog and prog-metal have helped greatly to carry the prog-rock flame well into the 21st Century.

I think it's no coincidence that the two "winning" genres here are also those that were (are) most active after the 70s.

If the poll was reversed Neo and Prog Metal would still score high. They are the most loved and at the same timehated Genres.

FIRST OF ALL: the question is:
What style of prog do you like least?
not What style of prog do you hate?
well, i don't think any member here completely hates a subgenre: in this case, he has to explore more the subgenre: at least one hidden album is waiting for him!
there is obviously one subgenre that we least like than the others; to me, it is clear: KRAUTROCK.
however, i like amon duul & guru guru.
neo prog takes no effort to be appreciated: the effect occurs instantly!
keep in mind that when you do not like neo prog, you question the pertinence of modern keyboards, of expressive electric guitar solos and of atmospheric arrangements.
if you don't like neo, then you probably miss many musical styles, such like new age, metal, hard rock, electronic music, and most of the music that relies on modern keyboards

"worst/least favorute" threads are negative from beginning and never start a good discussion. They either turn into flame wars or turn into a 5-page collection of posts doing nothing but offending each other. Just look through this thread: i'm going to have to go with zeuhl. wow. how uninspired can you get...? 
Third Ear Band I found thoroughly unlistenable; therefore it has to be indo-prog. bag of sh*te.
Electronic Prog...
Prog metal...
I can't stand electronic prog
Some of the cheesy neo prog I hear on prog radio stations. I think the only satanic bands are those crazy Scandinavian black metal
bands that go around burning churches and killing babies...
I cant stand Krautrock...
makes me want to kill myself... 
Neo. Seems like I've that genre's material somewhere else... Too clone-like  etc.............. |

Wow, certainly can't speak your mind on here I guess. You need to stop
acting like such a control freak. My thread wasn't negative in any way.
It was simply a way of gathering opinions on the various genres of
Prog. I was trying to start a discussion. The thread itself wasn't
negative. In fact, there wasn't a single negative comment in it as far
as I'm concerned -- just opinions! If somebody says something truly
negative, go after that person if you really feel the need to, but
don't blame it on the thread.

Some threads just lend themselves to negativity, as yours could have done, and as there was a similar thread.......
Maybe
the wrong thread was closed, but its Christmas Day. Admin have atough
enough job without having to read througnthem all to decide which to
close!
|
They should probably worry about closing perfectly decent threads a little less then.

Also, I was simply trying to see some reasons why people dislike certain genres.  For shame.
