 Topic: Made-Up Prog Band Slogans
Posted: May 08 2006 at 17:06 |
This thread is self-explanatory: create your own slogan for any prog band.This is a tongue in cheek thing, so please don't be offended by anything somebody says. Also, please don't say "Yes: The best band ever." or "Yes: the worst band ever" These are supposed to be funny. Praise people if you want, but please do it in a way that would be funny to other people (like I did with Pink Floyd). So here we go:
Van der Graaf Generater: "When something even remotely mainstream JUST WON'T DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" [the capitals are Peter Hammil shouting/singing]
Pink Floyd: "Geniuses with slow fingers."
Roger Waters: "This is a concept album, right?"
Yes: "Earth cloud brings circle tree, carrying."
Jethro Tull: "Flutes are too cool for you."
Captain Beefhart: "This is pretty avant-garde, isn't it?"
Genesis: "We Miss Peter Gabriel (In Our Band)"
Rush: "We Can't Sing."

Present - "Are you sitting comfortably?"  actually I was thinking something like, King Crimson - "Twelve classics and a drink coaster." but I can't bring myself to say it, I loves 'em too much.
