Predictable

I know this is a daring subject,but i will bring it up anyway.I think that this forum is starting to get a little predictable,and not just a bit.It seems like everybody agrees on everything,and the same albums and posts is repeateed again and again.Rarely can i go to the forum and discover a new band,or discuss a "hidden gem"Whats with you people,are there only people with a slight interest in music here?Where are the real devoted prog/music fans?Maybe on a different forum.I hope many people read this,and start posting many "new" topics.

Other than this one?

Which is just a whining and complaining.

You want to hear an exciting new band Mr. Burns,check out Magic Pie...they're from Norway.

I have bougt the magic pie album,and also started a thread about it.But no one seemed interested at the time,they were probably ocupied with one of the "good old threads".This is always the response one get when one write something a little bit critical.I am not trying to sl*g someone off here,i am just trying to say that maybe a little more creativety wouldnt be out of the way.

To be honest,i havent heard of kvaazar.But i can recomend you some good old norwegian prog,if you want.Try lokking up popol wuh/ace,they released three brilliant albums in the mid seventies.Also aunt mary,sounds like a cross between deep purple and late beatles.

I looked up the kvazzar thing,they just released a new album.Here is the webside  http://www.kvazar.deaya.com/index.html 

Instead of complaining about how predictable the forum is, why not create unpredictable threads - if that's what you want.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Not being defensive .. I think we all agree that the forum is cyclical and that if you hang around long enough you'll see the same threads repeating over and over again ...

Also if you try to talk about a "smaller" band like Magic Pie ... or in my case, Refugee, Blackfeather, Comus, Los Jaivos and so on (last thread I revived was on East European prog!)... simply not enough people will know what you're talking about ... and the thread will slide off ...

There isn't a hard-and-fast solution for this "problem" but I dare say those of us who've been here awhile have got used to the way it works ...

Try this ... when you discover something a little different ... search for an old thread ... and chances are someone has brought it up before, with very little response ... you can then revive the thread and see what happens ...

^ Well thank Heavens we got you to guide us!

Hey Mr. Burns, I've been in at least 10 Progressive forums, and I see threads that are on all the 10 foruims more than once.

The genre has almost 30 years mostly everything has been said, but this is the only forum in which you can find new bands and learn about old bands you never heard from around the world.

Imagine, there's even one thread about Progressive Rap!!!!!!
