OK

so, in this thread you ask for examples of prog bands users think are bad?

Way to open the Pandora's box... LOL

Yeah, but this example seems particularly horrendous. The lyrics are terrible as is the cadence in which they are sung. The music is boring and repetitive and sound more like patched together beats than a band.

All MY opinion obviously, it just struck me hard as being a truly failed attempt. That's all.

I understand what you say and even agree (with your example), but I just hope this thread DOES NOT become an invitation for negativity.

There's plenty of more recent so-called prog out there created by (mostly) men with megalomaniacal ambitions - but without the skills, the knowledge or the smarts to convincingly carry their highflying concepts. Compared to more basic popular music double albums with 20 minute + compositions, make prog extra vulnerable to (often well deserved) ridicule. Whenever I hear some modern progressive rock or metal that unsuccessfully tries to pull off a fusion of say theater and fairground music with double bass drums, melodic pop-choruses, industrial keyboards and growling... that's an extra level of awful rarely experienced anywhere else. But I still appreciate ambition and won't name names. Not today at least:)

I quote myself since I wrote something completely wrong yesterday, I forgot to add the negative in a sentence.

My bad...

Not everyone wants to carefully listen to a nine-minute tome on the plight of the Canadian Prairie Chicken. It makes them nervous and I don't blame them.

Easy there chief ! We Canadians are very proud of, and concerned about, the plight of the Canadian Prairie Chicken. It's a cause close to my heart. LOL
