I thought a screwdriver.  A long-handled hammer bangs hard.

It's not about taste. It's about endless repetition.

I don't even dislike either of them completely (though I'm not a fan of DT) but the amount of threads devoted to those artists is what annoys people.  Combine that with the fact that many of the threads made for either of them has been made at least 5-10 times before and you've got a lot of people annoyed.

Your grandma is awesome

Whenever these threads are posted on a forum its because that forum is becoming stagnant so people dont have anything particularly great to talk about so they just post whatever derranged rantings come into their head after listening to King Crimson until 3am. If you got rid of those threads there wouldnt be any threads, not even this one. this may well have already been said in this thread but I wasnt going to read 5 pages of echos to make sure, oh the irony.

Erm...a somewhat clumsy expression but I think we know what you mean

Why don't we just ban all topics of any kind while we're at it. If you don't like a thread, you don't have to participate in it.

No offense, but I think the Progosopher should be shot. Just my opinion.

For example: etrtjefb, usygrsjdh and yfhbdfk-ytruieywb??!!, all from Kurdistan. You're wrong, these bands are not from Kurdistan: Yfhddfk and Ytruieywb were from Iceland (even if Ytruieywb is Welsh for "improvisation"). Yfhddfk nearly made it to join the R.I.O. festivals, but their singer tragically died in a geyser incident in 1977, leading the survivors to become Ytrueywb. Ytrueywb was the first rock band to tour in the North Pole. Alas, their boat was sinked by the Sovietic Marine: the music of this avant-garde band sounded like the motors of the US cruisers. Etrtjefib was a short-lived Hungarian jazz-rock which turned zeuhl on their 2nd and last LP in 1977. Rumour has it the 9 musicians all left Hungary for a trip to Tibet and never returned, starving either on the K2, or on the Himalaya. Other people said they were abducted in the Caucasian mountains by aliens. Usygurjdh is one of the few examples of Mongolian rock bands: strongly influenced by Pink Floyd, they seem to have recorded two cassettes in 1976 and 1977. Reports about half of the band turning berzerk and trying to invade China alone with swords and bows, riding horses, seem to be true. The other half of the band tried to invade Russia.

Loved it

This goes for their musical tastes, how they express it, what aspect of it they want to discuss, etc...There are far greater injustices in the world like hunger, bigotry, oppression, cruelty to animals and people, where frustrations can be justly placed in order to achieve something more worthwhile, rather than waste energy on scolding and belittling some prog fan eager for interaction in a community. I do know of at least two very good long-time members of PA who don't dare post here any more because of the condescending and insulting attitudes of many members. I love you J (and the new album!)

@Henry: "A little 'zest'"!!! LOL!
