It's Henry, don't worry.

About 3/4s of his posts have :P written all over them.

Oh good... I thought I was out of fashion for a minute!

I was just listening to Gentle Giant this morning, I don't listen to old prog-rock much anymore, but it was cool hearing them again. Their feel for the quirky funk is pretty cool.

If you don't find prog in that album, I don't think there's much more that can be discussed.

it's prog with alot of non prog elements. Doesn't really do anything for me

You just admitted they are prog... you answered your own question... enough said

Actually, that's right... (even though it's false in this case)... Why would it be so terrible such a combination? It actually sounds good! And, to these ears of mine, way better than Bon Jovi meets Bon jovi and much better than Gentle Giant meets Gentle Giant....

This thread is like alcohol meets lack of proper sleep.... terrible results for the brain, that can cause...

I want somebody to write/mash up this song. I have to hear it now.

Maybe throw in a little U2 too, so this hypothetical Dream Theater has a chance to rock out!

Otherwise, an '07 troll with 182 posts, interesting.

Seriously, that is enough, PROGMONSTERS.

I was 100 per cent correct in believing this thread would descend down to the deepest depths of stupidity and uselessness.
You've made this thread purely just to incite angry responses and you know it, don't try to hide away from that.

There, I've contributed my whole range of thoughts on this thread. I hate to be the one to say it, but PROGMONSTER2008, get off the computer please?

PROGMONSTER2008, look at this thread: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51236&KW=is+not+prog&PID=2946630#2946630

It is a short coversation, only 10 pages. Perhaps you'll find it interesting. Smile
