That's a mystery, but as Cat Stevens (almost) sung I keep searching in my country:
I'm looking for a prog loving woman, One who will let me be myself, And if I find my prog loving woman, I will need nobody else, no, no.
I'm looking for a prog loving woman, One who will let me listen the best, And if I find my prog loving woman I know the rest of my life will be blessed -- yes, yes, yes.

I'm trying to convince my girlfriend her RnB music is the WORST. And she is starting to improve. She now dislikes all that hiphop sh*te except for dancing, and is listening to Irish Folk. Soon my friends! She already likes the few Yes songs I sent her.

And Elke and Noëlle? (for everybody: they are our friends). They like prog too! Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Frank Zappa!

I had a female friend in SUNY undergraduate days who was one of the biggest Yes fans I'd ever met, and I'm still kicking myself for losing touch with her. She had super-long dark hair and a delicate frame only slightly larger than the bass guitar she used to haul around campus- she played killer bass and classical guitar. I think she was from Long Island...I know she'd love this site
oh well (sigh), wherever you are, you're permanently in my memory...

Geez, I guess I won't be starting that thread in regard to how hot some of those prog rockers were...
Cause I doubt there's very many gay proggers here either...

LOL, do it anyway...I'd love to see the uncomfortable (bordering on offensive) reactions that a "hottest prog guy" poll would elicit...
I'm secure in my straightness- I'll vote objectively for Alex Lifeson, circa 1985

Not YET! Elke bought a CD by King Crimson yesterday... and I didn't have to force her!

Nah, he wouldn't even make my book... there was only 2 who actually made me weak.. and only one of those could actually take my breath away... I guess we know who that was
The other was this guy (one of the best feelings in the world was making him smile... another was listening to him play)

Obviously Greg Lake (your collage is pretty revealing... ) but David Gilmour? Most of my lady friends agreed Rick Wright was the face behind PINK FLOYD!
... but when it comes to guitar execution, Gilmour gets one of my highest votes

A few years ago I had a girlfriend who seemed to like some of my prog' music, we even went to long trips by car (12 + hours) and she enjoyed early Genesis, Yes, Kansas, Wakeman, most ELP and In the Court of the Crimson King.
But one day I played Red in the car, she almost jumped out with the car in movement, in the moment I stopped the vehicle she went out shouting (in the middle of the nowhere at 15,000 feet over sea level) with her face red in anger "I learned to like your music, but your car is not big enough for me and this aberration, take it away because I don't want to listen it by accident".
So the lesson is don't play any King Crimson album post ITCOTCK when your girlfriend is near, you'll lose the girl and the album.

On most of the PF sites I belong to... very few of the women will pick Rick over David. Rick was sort of shier.. but nerdy compared to David. David had the best lips in the business.

So I gather. Last year at Carl Palmer's shows.. every night I could count the number of women in the room on one hand. And half the time, those were the waitresses. Keith Emerson had a few more women at his shows.. but thats because most of the ELP-Disc ladies came. Seems to be a lot of female Yes fans tho...
Years ago, I don't really know too much about the audience ratio out front for ELP, but I sure had to be good at fending the girls off Greg backstage...

What does this prove? Right! Girls are only in it for the good looks, they don't care about music!

If that were true... there'd be a lot more ELP females fans... and a lot less Yes ones..
