I'm afraid it has quite the opposite effect on me.  I am obviously beyond redemption. LOL

ELP by a country mile or metric kilometer. And gold medal laureates at that!
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I answer Magma, but I must say that I like very much their pretentious atitudes,
Prog bands are said to be pretentious if we think they exagerate in something, as they sometimes do, but prog is exageration too sometimes.

I have to say all these bands.. pretty pretentious.

Stravinsky though, he never let things go over his head.
He was always  a cool guy, calm, yet decisive.

Magma easily win the ^pretentiousness
 
 
PS: to the guy that stated having suspicious tough about Gentle Giant...let me clarify something:
 
For having talking to Gary Green a couple of year ago, they we're suppose to do a reunion in the 90's for their own fun....after only one rehearsal, they abandoned the project. Why? Simply because they couldn't play those songs...too complicated for any musician that haven't played those song for years....
 
They didn't tried to be like, well, we are that good and our songs are too complicated to be played again you know...not at all, the simple fact of not practicing your instrument is why they can't play like they used to do in the 70's...pure honesty.
 
No pretentiousness here!

The act of judging pretension is a pretentious act onto itself.

Every person that want to form a group of music (and wants money and fame), have a degree more or less in pretentious.
In Every kind of music.
