Worst prog remarks from friends

"Is that Peter, Paul, & Mary?" - A friend's brother remarking while hearing Jethro Tull's 'Ladies' on the way home from a round of golf.  Moron.

 

I mostly don't care what others are thinking about prog, and when I put on some music when my friends are with him I put it for my own pleasure, and not to expose them to it.

Though, ones I've tried to expose a friend of mine to prog, I choose Camel. He said it stinks. The next day on the bus he told his best friend Camel sucks.
Couple of days ago (after a year) he asks me for recommandations of Camel. Snow Goose. After he heard it, suddenly he liked it. Ironiclly, that is the same album as I've given him last year.
Too bad this friend of mine only thinks of pose, and wants to play Camel on the electric guitar so it will be his 'style'.

Currently I've got one friend who I think can enjoy prog. Too bad he's not that interested right now. Luckily, he's not as stupid as the poser

Your brother like country!!

I wonder what has been the mutual consensus of the music while driving for holidays or the weekend. Some of Jethro Tull maybe or Kansas?
Or maybe is older and stronger and you had to listen all the way to the south of France to Dusty Springfield and Dolly Parton. Aaaii.

 

Sad But True

I have a good way with coverting people 2 prog music... It takes a long time, but eventually, I do it!

My hip-hop friends comment on Dream Theater was just "Whatever"...

Another of My friends "Ow God, this f*cking sucks"... talk bout constructive criticism..

That's just reminded me. I played CTTE to a school friend and he reckoned the main guitar riff near the beginning sounded like "Singing in the rain". Some people are beyond help.

My mate James on Close to the Edge:

"It sounds like pantomime music."

Most people do not understand the long intro's either.

"Where is the singer waiting for?"
"What I do not like about your music is that it takes so long before the song actually begins"

And the bad part is: You have enjoyed the intro very much. Thinking it builts up the song well. And now every time you hear the intro you think about the complain "Where is he waiting for".

My wife : "Not again your OLD progressive music from another century."

People should be shot for saying things like that.
