^ yeah, welcome to the site GG.
I wouldn't sweat it though, sometimes the most innocuous of things can spiral into something unexpected.

Pretty much.

Your're ignorant, what am I supposed to do about? Why don't you just post about the topic?

Was this post really necessary? You're just making this thread stay off topic.
Stick to talking about neo-prog. If someone dislikes it, or you... just ignore it.

And I find posting about griping about posting to be annoying, too. E

ok Laz, you have me listening to Marbles and give it another chance.. I kind of gave up on the Marillion boys after This Strange Engine.
I liked Hogarth at the start but the more influence he exerted the duller they seemed to get. The songs just seemed to blend into one rather vague ramble- maybe they were just too subtle for me at the time.
It's probably a bad sign that I really quite like cannibal surf babe from Afraid of Sunlight , right

If some of you would actually bother to read the OP, this thread was created seeking recommendations for Neo Prog Another subtle clue that may have alerted you to this fact is the section it's placed in (i.e. Prog Recommendations) It should also be self-evident that if someone doesn't like Neo-Prog they are not in the best position to make said recommendations.
All of us are free to like and dislike whatever we see fit but if an evangelical t-totaler wanders into a bar late at night and chastises the inebriates for their indulgences, what sort of reaction do you seriously think they will get?

But not a fraction as annoying about trolls coming in, taking a squat and crapping all over a thread. I can doubt myself a lot, but I'm friggin' dead on about this one. E

I hear that from time-to-time. Marillion isn't for everyone. I commend you for giving them a try, though. It does say a lot regarding your tastes that you enjoy "Cannibal Surf Babe" the most on Afraid Of Sunlight. I'm saying it's bad, but gives me a better understanding of what you're gravitating towards. I think it's safe to say that Marillion isn't for you. That's quite alright, though. E

the thing i like about CSB is that it is at least in a different tempo from the rest of the album. AoS isn't bad it just seemed to lack a bit of oomph. which is fine - the guys are going for mood and a generally languid atmosphere (rather than oomph).
I'm quite enjoying Marbles btw. It's not blowing me away yet but it's not dull either.

Afraid Of Sunlight is a whole 'nother being. I like how soft spoken it is, but at the same time very powerful and emotive. "Cannibal Surf Babe" definitely throws a twist in.

Marillion is one of those bands that I keep thinking that I should like more than I do, and I keep trying to love them wholeheartedly but I remain hiss and miss.
My latest find was Neverland off of Marbles, absolutely wonderful and atmospheric song.

Yes, but if anybody listened to me the thread would be easier to read for everyone...

Well actually, the problem was that you didn't ignore them because PA doesn't understand how the internet works...

Blame the victim is a bit of a melodramatic way of putting it, but sure, I guess that is a somewhat accurate way of describing my position. I don't think I have to explain to you the reasoning behind "Don't feel the trolls". I present to you WalterDigsTunes ca. 2007-2011 as my primary evidence that PA is extraordinarily bad at following that simple rule. And are you trying to drag me off-topic? ;-)
