Prog Sins

I could use some more Procol Harum, since I seem to be one of their key defenders (not that it comes up too much). well, actually i prefer more modern stuffs, like... Dream Theater, Kamelot,etc... mostly prog metal stuffs too from the classic era, i like Genesis though   And Emerson Lake and Palmer too, right? Don't worry. Know one has to no.

i don't like ELP as well

So prog sins ended up just being a thread where people can say what they don't like?

After checking out maybe ten-fifteen neo-prog bands, I dismissed the whole genre. And it felt good.

My biggest prog sins?

1. I've got 4 Pink Floyd albums and I really can only listen to one. I've got them because they're Pink Floyd, but i can't stand the band nor the stuff they call music.

2. I recently dropped my Misplaced Childhood cd on the floor and absentmindedly rolled over it with my chair. I only noticed it when it cracked loudly. I hate myself for that, and for not owning the record anymore Accidents are not sins though, are they?

I haven't heard Brain Salad Surgery. Should I feel guilty? If yes, why?

I hate Yes, primarily because of Jon Anderson's monotonous drawl and nonsensical lyrics.

I never managed to get hold of BSS, and I doubt I will bother nowadays. And I don't feel guilty about it. I mean, why should I listen to music other people think I should listen to, and feel guilty if I don't? I like to listen to music I like.
