A ten year old who compares ELP to My Dinner with Andre and uses the word "galore"? I call bullsh*t.

When I was 10 I was busy eating lead paint chips.

No 10 year-old kid in the history of cinema has sat through a viewing of My Dinner with Andre', let alone would mention a 1981 film consisting of all dialogue and utterly no action in a normal conversation. This is just the writer being a snarky assh*le.

Aye - I had to look up "My Dinner with Andre" - I thought it was some esoteric jazz album or something. - I certainly would not have watched said film (or similar types of film) at 10. I too think this is projection. I think I was into "The Sweet" when I was 10.....and "Queen" sort of.....

When I was 10 I was spinning this exact album along with Yessongs, A Passion Play, Bizarre Records' Zapped compilation, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. These albums were not yet as old as I was. Nor had My Dinner with Andre been released. Right about that time I was just discovering music my dad didn't like such as Devo and Black Sabbath. I appreciate stuff from the 1930's now, but probably had a similar opinion of it at the time as the writers kid.

Nonetheless, the little booger eater in question is why I don't have kids. Never liked them. Even when...check that...especially when I was one. Talk about something you don't want to be stuck on a desert island with.

Funny thing is I had friends whose kids that hated prog when they were that age are rediscovering it in there 20's and are way more into it than their parents ever were.

And for the record, I don't agree with the youngster's review.  I like most of the album, except for "Take a Pebble".  Maybe the lad thought the title was "Take a Piddle"?
Take a Pebble is my favourite of that album. I just absolutely love what Emerson does with the piano and organ all over the track. Quite the opposite tastes we have. 

Probably mine too. I love the part in the middle where it sounds like they are having a bonfire down by the beach. Smile

The author is a jerk too, just another prog-hating journalist with a bratty kid who also has no musicality whatsoever either. And yeah, the kids comments do sound false, or changed to sound as brutal as possible.

Oddly, at just over forty and bumbling through a life of wasted time on unworthy people and abusive monsters, I find my life is somewhat back at this point again! I'm constantly falling into child-like nostalgia to bring a sense of safe happy memories, it's quite pitiful really!

When I was 10 in the 90s I was listening to classic rock and art rock. My first album was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John at age 7. I had David Bowie's greatest hits and Talking Heads albums by 10. I didn't like what was on the radio at the time at all.

Age isn't an excuse.

Also think the interview is fabricated.

- I don't mean prog as a genre, I mean exactly what it is, bands like The Nice and ELP who made pals like Yngwee and Luca Turilli think they're genius only because they can play classical pieces faster than it's supposed
