Hey, I'm just copying from Wikipedia. Somebody else can deal with the blatantly attention-seeking insults of prog and its fans on a prog website. Trying to get the conversation to be what I'm actually talking about does not count as feeding the troll.

Even though it is quoted later (I have no problem with that) I'm going to remove this message. It was meant to be funny but maybe it was misjudged by me.

Right...you're not trolling at all, are you? You're quite the decent, respectful one, aren't you?

Really, he gives himself away in his opening gambit. If this is no troll then I'm a Dutch auntie.

I've only recently been exploring Prog rock...it had been my impression that what I considered to be The Dead Zone in music - from about a year or so before The Beatles broke up to the rise of groups like ABBA - coincided with the Prog moment in music.

He's got 5 stars, he can do whatever he wants. Your one star does not provide much of a buffer for admin wrath if you keep baiting people.

Miles Davis is included for his fusion work, but PA's policy has always been to includes entire discographies. Per album genre tagging would be a herculean endeavor at this point, and individual album tags that would exclude them from the top lists would be the only solution. So we're stuck with this situation because Kind of Blue is a good album so people will rate it highly, even though it is not rock. This also happens on a smaller scale with some of the subgenres.

I have no issue with an artist's FUSION work being included in this forum's top 100 albums. But "Kind of blue" is NOT progressive. If Davis does not have a proggy album which is popular enough to make the list here, do NOT include it. Simple. But your issue is that the solution to the problem is too hard. How hard is it to delete ONE album from the list of 100 here? I'm not a techie, but I wouldn't have thought it wasn't that hard...you just highlight the album and...press "Delete?" yeah?

Oh right, me defending myself from the accusation of trolling is "baiting"...and you brainlessly quote people who swear at me approvingly. If you didn't give attitude you wouldn't get it from me. Stop giving me attitude and I won't give people attitude in return. That being said most of the mindless comments are from people with multiple stars to their name...if prog is meant to have intelligent fans it doesn't take much for people to quote offensive comments approvingly or to quote mind-numbingly inane comments approvingly..."Oh Henry". Yes Henry, Oh.

And you are being obscene and offensive because you want to get a reaction from me. It's overkill. Just be smug instead...you know, like you are some superintelligent being from another dimension...maybe call Genesis' debut "naive" or something...you know, pretend to be smart. That's all it takes to bug me.

Kind of Blue actually is progressive, just not prog rock, but that's beside the point. Deciding what artist's albums to include and not include was long ago decided to be unnecessary so all albums are included. You can't stop people from rating an album highly because it's a good album. I am pretty sure you cannot just highlight the album.

Actually he's not. That is Snow Dog in 100% honest form. Trust me

It's the reaction you wanted. But it was meant to be funny, so I guess I failed on that one.
I'll just pretend to be smart then.

You are still not gracing me with your response on rock music of the early '70s, it makes me sad.

I'm quoting Dean here as his post was largely ignored.

ADMIN NOTE.
Looks like someone got off on the wrong foot here and has made a few erronious assumptions that have upset and angered just about everyone present.
Perhaps education is better than admonishment.
So firstly, welcome to the PA forum Mr "Not Given", I'm Dean - I see you've already met a lot of the other misfits and characters around here. Please avoid upsetting them and calling them names until you know them better.
Secondly - when replying to posts use the "Quote" button, it makes life so much easier, and that means you don;t have to use the itallic BBcode at all (BBcodes are cool, they are what "powers" the text formatting in posts) :
Thirdly, a "Troll" is not someone who disagrees - a "Troll" is someone who deliberately posts something inflammatory to piss people off. Now, it is clear that a few people are pissed, whether that is deliberate on your part is something we cannot say for sure. If you continue on this tack you've been following then I'll say yes you are; if you relax, sit back and re-think what you are saying, I'll say it was all a big misunderstanding.
Your choice mate. |

Either he is a troll or he doesn't consider anything that isn't a big "hit" worth considering. Until Abba came along nothing of merit was done in the seventies. Abba is his guide. Let it be ours!
And if the radio doesn't play it it isn't worthwhile somehow?
