Your music sucks

So here we go. After listening to Mastodon's Crack The Skye, again, then giving Wish You Were Here a listen, I have come to a conclusion.

Progressive rock is pathetic. That is right. These albums are mere showings of how terrible this music is, and you should all be ashamed of listening to it. Especially you. That's right, you heard me, or read me.

First off, it is all built on forcing yourself to like it. Some artists and pants-wetting fans might toss around words such as "deep" "complex" "meaningful" or the best one "it's a grower". These people have stunted mental growth, and should be arrested for attempted assassination...of good music.

It is obvious that progressive rock is inferior to all other genres of music, especially new age-classical and punk rock. Anyone denying this has low self esteem issues and glandular disorders. Pink Floyd? They did nothing but make one note guitar solos for whole albums, and are a complete and utter waste of time to listen to.

That whole avantgarde shtick is ridiculous. What is that, they are good because they purposely play material that isn't music? I'd say these terrible artists such as Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Henry Cow were just bumbling drug abusers, rather than musicians.

Your musical taste sucks, and you should all go listen to a REAL album, like the Dirty dancing soundtrack, or a Judas Priest tribute album.

Maybe because Mastodon is somewhat annoying and WYWH sucks.

this thread reminds me, I really want to get this shirt:

You miss one vital point.

A lot of avant-garde music is performed by people who have no clue about music and cannot play their instruments.  They just bash pots and pans and sustain one note on a kazoo for hours.

Therefore this type of music is in fact, better than prog for sheer musicianship.

Frank Zappa was clean the whole time. No drugs whatsoever, he even kicked people out of his band if they did any while working with him.

the others i dont know...

btw original poster, you mentioned 2 of the most commercial albums in prog rock. one from the 70s, one from now.

the whole original post sounds like a thought you had that will probably one day change (and probably soon)

i still say people's tastes are different. I personally think there's nothing to find in Focus' music or Atomic Rooster. but then again, i love Miles Davis and Frank Zappa and there's people who dont like them.

This is a staff anouncement, instore cleaner to aisle 3  - someone's had an epiphany.

Especially the post-1989 stuff. That lot is awful.

Damn right, I do. You all are a gaggle of pretentious fools, and you are all wrong, all the time, always and forever.

Die, you cretins, in your pitiful obscurity as you listen to substandard music.

Placation in sin, my poor delusional friend. May your grave be urinated upon by Iggy Pop.

Jokes aside, is it almost unanimous that everyone scoffs and makes fun of Walter's musical ideas, because they think it is a complete crock?
