Why DO women like prog? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Oh yeah I forgot about those LOL

“The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

I wasn't being sexist in anyway.It was just a theory based on a play,mainly about women always having a few things on the go at any one time,while men tend to concentrate on one job at a time and I was just putting that to the way people listen to music.

I'll listen to anything if it's well written and a likeable tune but not too repetitive.

ABBA wrote some good songs Smile

it's in the way that you use it

Um, they don't?

Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I tend to prefer women that love super crazy extreme death metal, cause then you can get them into experimental and tech metal, wane them onto some Cynic, then Sleepytime Gorilla Musuem, then TMV's Bedlam in Goliath, and eventually she will see the light of the prog...

This only worked with one girl I met but damn it that was a good relationship. (Except for when she held me hostage with a hammer.)

Save it for The Jeremy Kyle show, please.

I think it's time to agree: women are like men - they love football, smoking, drinking, sex, prog, growls, odd time signatures etc. The only difference is they are more attractive. Wink

Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour)

Short answer is that there are more musically shallow women than shallow men - because believe me, I'm not much impressed by the types of music most men listen to either. Men have just as many societal duties and pressures but in slightly larger numbers seem more willing to breakaway and ditch the pressures. Like Sid Vicious said, "nobody has to do anything". How are women supposed to get that when they're constantly freaking about walking in the house with shoes on? Lol. Those two world-views are light years apart and most likely cannot be reconciled; even chemical perturbation from say a magic mushroom in most cases cannot do anything for the soft headed except reinforce the differences between "reality" and "fantasy". And again, I think most men are stupid like this too. Joni Mitchell said people "decided to become stupid in 1980". I tend to agree. In 1975 this woman made some albums that could give prog of the same year a run for it's money.

My wife is one of the fortunate souls to escape idiocy. When I met her she already had Relayer in her collection, so I didn't have to teach her prog. That's why we married. I wouldn't spend my time with no woman that can't appreciate good music. Nobody's worth the time. And you know my wife got even more in harmony with me to the point where she was bringing ME new '70s music to listen to: she introduced me to Samadhi's self titled album from 1974. I don't think that ANYBODY knows this band, let alone my wife to discover the CD and send it my way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP40cCmkY9A

My wifes absolute favs are Alas, pre '75 Gong, Arachnoid, Pulsar, Eloy, Gelatine Plates, 1972-4ish ELP, Tempano etc. I'm fairly lucky as she does not listen to really much anything after 1979. It makes both of us really sick to hear anything after 1979. She's 21, I'm 25. It works. Don't settle on a non music loving woman. No such thing as the "perfect," but there's close to perfect. I've had too many stupidiotic girlfriends who would tell me to turn the prog down. That's when I had to turn the girls down. It made them cry and plead, but hey, that's their own fault for deciding on becoming brainless remnants of life afriad of anything slightly perturbing or thought-provoking. I once was playing the movie "fantastic planet" from 1973, and an old Girlfriend was crying to me to please turn it off because the music was scaring her. f**king idiot.
