Let me tell news: there is no difference between women and man. You should meditate about that.

Men's brains are more technical and women's brains are more emotional. Men (usually) like more technical music and women prefer outbursts of emotion. Prog doesn't do that. It builds and builds and can also be atmospheric. Its funny, though. The most emotional music are the big climaxes of prog epics, and maybe thats what women like, but many don't have the patience to listen for it. But that doesn't mean that women can't like prog. My mom heard me listening to Tarkus and said that it was actually "nice sounding."

This is a false statement rooted in oblivious idealism.

Reason is simple: prog has none of those feminine or female-appealing aspects: simple melody, that wretching whiny vocal style, conventional meters and harmonies, etc.
Prog thumbs its nose at those things, by and large

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

My wife has once been to a Yes gig, something even I never did. She had to leave though as her laughter at what was going on received too much ugly faces from happy bystanders

My sister got into prog when she grew bored of ABBA. She was 11.
And this thread should be about why women actually do like prog, not why they don’t. And it’s obviously for the same reasons no matter if you’re male or female. Good prog appeals both to the brain and the heart and it doesn’t bore the sh*t out of you after a week.

Women? WHERE?! *fumbles through belongings in search of lost engagement ring* ...  I've often said to myself, "the first reasonably sane and decent women I meet, who enjoys prog, I'm going to ask her to merry me" Silly... I know. I've hung to this silly dream for years now... Getting moreso on the right path, I think it's not so much that they are now enjoying prog, I think it's that they finally learned to use a computer.... *raise resilient shield of +2 flame resist* I'm only kidding women, welcome!  (P.S. I am not sexist... ) |

That's what the OP, a woman and an ex collab here, started it for but these threads all go one way eventually. Amazing how some people place prog on such a pedestal. A woman introduced me to some great work by the composer Morton Feldman these last few days over the net. Get a grip, people...there are more formidable and analytical things in the world of music than just prog and there are women who listen to them.

I'm sure there is some jabberbox post from me on pg.3 but I of course do know and have traveled with many professional female musicians/vocalists for over 30 years. I worked with female Classical musicians in recording studios and toured with them in sell out situations. Made lots of money and we became good friends with a great working relationships. They lived and breathed prog. This 1 particular girl who played keyboards was a must to see especially... her rendition of Tarkus. Another girl I worked with who played cello and a jazz style on bass. Maybe it's a case where women need to develop as a musician to appreciate the value of prog.
Maybe not.... because I had female friends who followed the Krautrock scene during the 70's and were part of the progressive movement. They were not musicians....but followed the lyricism of prog. They were also interested in the lyrics of Pete Sinfield or Keith Reid. They thought the "Classic Rock" scene was phony and that groupies were like parasites. Back in the 70's and 80's women musicians who put themselves through music college toured the road with me and I was amazed by their talent. They just blew my head completely off. Some of them were multi-talented and others had perfected 1 particular instrument. This was the first and probably last time I would ever be exposed to the world of the female musician. When prog was in the media and both women and men musicians were striving to make a living at it. I was a young kid and had no realization of it until I traveled the road.
