Your embarrassing prog secrets.

I wouldn't say it's embarrassing, just more that I shouldn't be here.
I fell out of love with Pink Floyd for a start.
Debilitating virus around planet? Ok.
Worldwide adjustment? Ok.
Spending lockdown listening to droning bullsh*t with "and Daddy... HE DIED IN THE WAAAARRRRRR!!!". No, that's where I draw the line.
Technical proficiency isn't enough.
Jethro Tull suck balls. Only Genesis I can tolerate these days.
Never loved Yes.
Modern Prog bands are delusional.
Modern Prog fans are seemingly KKK members.

Please ban the f**k out of this account. I'm now into Funk and Soul more than Prog. Well after listening to twiddling keyboards and guitars with a ham act-orrr "interpreting" lyrics from the semi-illiterate, I thought it was about time I listened to music that made me feel ALIVE. Put a smile on my face. Put a spring in my step.

The only thing more tedious than UK Prog is UK Punk.
American music does seemingly beat European music. But not their "Art Rock".

I've more sense than money, so enjoy box set after overpriced box set of the junk you used to listen to being endlessly molested by Steve Wilson. And indeed moaning about "Aww, Steve Wilson has ruined it!!". One born every minute.

It's also 2021. The world has moved on. Shave off your silly beards and face the fact we've failed to make a better world.
I do feel like a b*****d making this post, but if I press the back button, I'd just be lying to myself and others.
Apologies for anyone who ever read my posts. But I am just so f**king done with this genre. And even if walking alone, as least I'm stepping towards a future.

Prog Rock? Prog SUCKS!!

Big fan of Novalis with their cheesy vocals.

Excellent. But you forgot to mention Gregorian Chants. My favorite.

Hope to remedy that when I can afford to spend for pleasure again I've never heard a jolly green Gentle Giant album either

I love both Rush and VDGG equally too.

But how do you really feel (and this time, lower the gloves)? [meant for AZF]

And yet here you are ! Hmmm, the poster dost protest too much, methinks. Fair enough you hate the now and maybe got bored with the then, but that's about you, not the music. Prog doesn't suck anymore than your posts do.
