What do you think about Captain Beefhearth, Zappa's humor and 200motels?

Just to have your opinion... nothing related to anything else...

How he answers to that will determine if he is Ofur or not

This reminds me of something I wanted to ask : Is there such a thing as an ignore button on this forum? Thanks.

I don't like prog-metal but I don't sl*g it off. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not to my taste.

"Close to the edge" is number one in the PA chart, so it can't be that bad.

 

That is EXACTLY my point. Please read my first post again. To explain again, I'm not slogging. I am critically and musically analysing and basing my judgement on that.

Oh and as a side note, I don't think i ever said I didn't like it. I might actually enjoy Yes. All I have said so far is that I don't enjoy it from a MUSICAL perpective.



Critically and musically analysing?  With comments like "this music is just plain boring", "crappy old school prog rock"? 

And you may not have said explicitly that you didn't like it, but saying "If i want to fall asleep or have a good laugh, I'll listen to Yes" pretty much says that you don't like it.

If you wanted people not to take your opinions seriously, you went about it the right way.

I think DT15 is probably not going to win Noobie of the year at the annual ProgAchives award dinner this year.

I actually don't like expressing a formal opinion without giving proper critical analysis. Nevertheless, I will answer you in short:

I don't enjoy Captain Beefhearth's music, I respect Frank Zappa and what he has contributed to experimental,jazz-rock, fusion, etc. Are you referring to the 86 album or just generally? I don't have an opinion either way.

Same goes for the 1970 album. Or was it 71?

Ok i swear this is the VERY LAST time I am typing this... please read all my posts in this thread, and remember not to take everything you read seriously.

You should admit dear DT that there are some contraditions in your statement along the forum, and this is somehow confusing all of us about your real intentions...

I'm sure that all of us wish that the misunderstanding is over.

I don't see any critical/musical analysing in your first thread. OK, you didn't exactly say you didn't like it but you did say it's "just plain boring" "crappy old school prog rock".

Admit it, you're Ofur in disguise!

Sorry for my bad english and confusing you. I meant I am GOING to musically analyse the album. In fact I have just begun writing...

But if you read all my posts you would have already understood

Great a hidden message after all.
In fact, not a hidden message, but a secret double User, trying to clear his past and create a new indentity as a prog intellectual.

If you see a newbie with the name "Below", stating he knows prog as well as white bread, do not think it is me.

Wow ! People like you are very funny who come here and think having the absolute verity and bash other's opinion just because your a musician, even if MANY MANY people here are musician, and often with more experience than you. You'r not a god of music, you're just a bachelor of music !

So you came here thinking you have a revelation, a vision ! LOOK LOOK, LISTEN TO ME, I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTNANT TO SAY !! I had a vision yesterday ! You're all fools, old prog is crap and boring! I will prove you with my REAL reviews, because I'm a REAL musician and you're all not. If you still don't understand my point, it's because you're not as skill as I in a musical point of view.

Come on ! I don't care what music you like, and I don't even care about your musical analysis. I found genesis, and jethro tull brillant and Dream Theater and all prog-metal absolutely boring, so what ? It's my taste and you cannot change it. Don't think your point will be see as THE point of view. Even after reading your magnificient reviews, people will not say: Yes, he is right, Genesis is really s**t.

Do you think I'm not aware of this? As i stated before, I am merely giving a musical analysic on close to the edge because i was asked to on this thread.  i couldn't care less if you just brush it off. But then again, not everyone is you.

What have you critically analyzed? Nothing at all.

Where is your deep analysis on why Yes and Genesis are not as good as
Dream Theater. I would love to hear it and I'm sure everyone else would
too since you keep saying your "Almighty musical analysis" is so worthy.
