Well i only have say 40% prog in my cd collection the rest ather types of music so i am not 100% prog nut, I think it gets boring to lisen to the same music style all the time i need variation, but i am sure its the same for everybody here i dont think anyone here got only prog albums, or?

Well too the question, I have alweys considered my self to have very good taste in music and i am very intrested in music and alweys try to have an open mind and give the music some time and not yust lisen to it once and then say its crap like most pople probobly do. most pople and most of my friends are not as intrested in music as i am and if they lisen to a song one time ánd dont like it they whuld never try it ever again and therfor they will never disscover the great stuff or prog, i have tryed many times to play great music that i love for these pople but it never work they dont understand it the first time and to them its therefor sh*t and they go back and lisen to thier metal crap... Wich i whuld never lisen to. So i guees i am a music snob, becaus i like good orginal music and not mainstrem crap, ok not all mainstrem music is crap but much.

As many of you know I am a bigger Progressive Metal fan and not very elitist, people on other forums especially Metal and John Myung forums, call me a Prog Snob!  I am definitely snobby compared to those people, but compared to flowerchild, welll we all love him.

IMO, Progressive Rock is as variant as Classical Music, probably even more...

...depends on how you define "snob"

it's kinda like the term "weird" ... it has a very subjective meaning.

Example: say you're in a room full o' hillbilly rednecks, they might consider you a real weirdo for listening to early 70's progressive rock...

one man's "snobbery" may be another's appealing personality

A very defiant and resounding yes! I'm suprised I haven't been shot, the way I have lambasted other people's crappy music and irritated them with good reasons on why their music is far inferior to prog.

Now...how's that for snob!
Can you tell me where my country lies...

I'm not that much of a snob, and I'm glad that I am.  There's good music in every genre, you just gotta get off your soapbox, stop judging people, and listen to music for what it is:

 

MUSIC.

And that's my rant.

When I was getting into prog early on in high school, I was very snobbish etc. etc. I would talk about it to people who didn't care and convince them that what I listened to was better than their "musical tastes" and proceed to belitte it and them. I'm surprised these people now are still my friends... .

But not long after, I realized what I did was wrong and came to a realization that everyone is entitled to their own opinions whether I think it's garbage or not. I wouldn't like anyone to belitte the music I love, so I try no to do it to people who may like something different. I may say "Oh, I don't particularly enjoy [that type of music/artist/etc]" or "Eh, that's not my thing."

*But deep down I know that prog is better than everything else, and those who don't enjoy it obviously aren't able to handle it's greatness, and therefore settle for less.*
