Yeah that's pretty much his sense of humor...

I wouldn't been surprised if he had started to throw water att me while saying" the power of christ compels you, the power of christ compels you"...yupp he think's I'm a satanist aswell...(king crimson) "typical blood-drinker music" that was his exact words...anything to piss me off I guess

Very close to what my mother generally says.

The best was from my girlfriend, when I was listening to some italian prog:
"These sounds comes from loony-bin, this is not music!"

and

"Turn ofа this screaming moron now!" (VdGG)

"All the songs sound the same"....he was commenting on A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers from VdGG....just one song.

Another favorite moment...."Make it stop please"....another comment on A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers.

"Okay, I get the message now. They can stop now", and "This is WAY too long"  comments on Rudy by Supertramp and then moments later the radio played Hey Jude(a longer and very repetitive tune) and she was all good with it, singing along to it and carrying on.

"Can we listen to actual music?"- My friend when we were listening to Elephant Talk (My other friend in the room is a KC fan, though).

A very intelligent (no irony intended) friend of mine about any kind of more avant-garde music (a lot of prog included) and art in general - "I call stuff like this sh*t sculptures".

My daughter often says: "Oh sh*t - Daddy's at home"
My wife says from time to time : " OK turn IT down, I want to watch my soap opera now"

Both say : " BUY A HEADPHONES !!!!"

"How can you listen to that neverending symphony" (my mother about Echoes)
"Are they all totally high or what???" (friend about early Pink Floyd)
"How can you listen to that boring symphonic music" (my mother about King Crimson - Islands)
"Are they, like, playing backwards?" (friend about the beginning of Close To The Edge)

Bad:

I bet he was hot sh*t 100 years ago (about Peter Hamill)

This is video game music (ELP)

 

Good:

"I'm laughing because (Gentle Giant) is so good, its ridiculous!!"

"Banco kicks ass"  (from a hardcore punk friend)

 

My best story:

At a party, these two annoying preps asked if I listened to emo.  To get back at them, I told them I would let them hear what I listen two. My host likes Zappa so I told him to put on "Weasles..." and we were able to drive them from the room in 30 seconds.  Didn't talk to them the rest of the night...
