Bands prog fans generally hate but u like

The.Crimson.King wrote: Let's see...I have many favourites I'm sure most prog fans generally hate... 70's - Black Sabbath, Grateful Dead, Al Green, Sex Pistols, The Tubes, Rolling Stones, AC/DC (Bon Scott fronted only) 80's new wave - The Pretenders 80's US hardcore punk - Dead Kennedy's, DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, The Minutemen, Black Flag, Husker Du, Joe Pop-O-Pie, X Alternative - REM, The Pixies, Dinosaur Jr Doom/Stoner Metal - Cathedral, Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Novembers Doom, Cephalic Carnage, Type-O-Negative, Electric Wizard Death/Black Metal - Sepultura, Enslaved, Celtic Frost, Tryptikon, Burning Witch, Catacombs Other - Christian Death, The Damned, Sad Lovers and Giants, Trance to the Sun

I have to agree with Andrey here, I think many of these are not hated by prog fans in general. Black Sabbath, My Dying Bride and Enslaved are on PA, so I guess we can cross those off the list. I myself enjoy both Black Sabbath and Enslaved. I've not checked out MDB.

Of the others I like both AC/DC and REM to some extent, and I know there are appreciators of Grateful Dead, Sex Pistols, Rolling Stones, The Minutemen and Hüsker Dü, among others, on this site other than you. That doesn't necesserily mean that they're not hated by prog fans in general, as PA doesn't represent all progressive rock fans in the world, but it gives us an idea of how eclectic many prog fans' musical tastes in can be.

Love that band too, Mr King, and especially that album. Probably the one of theirs that I return to the most...although I haven't been able to track the latest one in stores down here. Might just have to stop stalling and order the damn thing online!

^ oooooh sounds like a another dark, moody bitch to me. I might give it a go.
I dare prog music to try and depress me. Lol

I love Arlo Guthrie, The Clash and Patti Smith

'Songs of Darkness, Words of Light' looks for me like an attempt to re-create their earlier doom sound actually. I haven't heard their entire discography but out of what I have heard their first two album are the most interesting to my ears.

Lucky guy. I never saw them...

When did I miss this?! `The Hurting' is one of my favourite pop albums, if only `pop' was frequently as thoughtful, intelligent and....`proggy' as this, commercial music would be a lot more bearable!

It is in my experience that a lot of proggers don't really love or appreciate the Goth art form of music, although their are a few here on PA that dig it. ;) Mr. Crimson King could you please step forward....and take a bow my goth brethren. Lol Love me some Sisters, although I prefer the Cure and Siouxsie. There are actually quite a few individuals on here who like goth rock. Check the post-punk/New Wave thread.

The Cure.
Absolutely great. Anyway, as I said a good few here on PA dig it...goth I mean...thank god.
