I think for me one of the best thing I have NOT done is become a commenter on the YT channels that I watch. I always watch on my TV not my phone app, so on the TV the comments are not showing. I prefer to sit at my lounge chair in front of the TV to watch YT vids, rather than on my tiny phone screen.

So if a YT'er makes a bunch of comments I don't agree with or like, I don't find myself grabbing my phone and typing a rebuttal. Normally comments just get lost in the wave of so many, especially if it is a live stream of 200-300 people watching the comments box just scrolls too fast to even read them, ATBH I don't give a krapp! 

My wife is usually watching with me as she is on her phone and sometime she'll even say stuff to the TV....."Of course Neil Peart is the best ever, your stoopid!!" she'll say! LOL

YT for me is 100% entertainment, I've left channels because they incite arguments and I want to relax. And I mainly leave channels because they are simply boring and a waste of time.

Scot keeps his channel entertaining and to the point, those are the type of channels I like. Spending 1.5 hours talking about one thing is nuts.

I've never watched anything on my phone. Only nutbars do that.

Far too many US fusion and metal drummers for my liking. I tend to be very selective with what I watch and you have to be with youtube. It can be trash but sometimes it fun. For instance I like the album war video that Peter did for second albums by the 'Big Four' that was ITWOP, Tarkus, Time and A Word and Trespass. That was a fun episode and it was quite close in the end. That sort of thing floats my boat more. In general I like to seek out recommendations for new(ish) bands and if they get the artists on to discuss their album that is even better. Scot Lade has done some good Sunday Prog Stream episodes with the likes of Kite Parade and Versa which I enjoyed a lot.


Sea of Tranquility (Pardo's site) is metal-centric, so that's no surprise.

I'm guessing people listen more than watch on the phones so it becomes a podcast. If the 4G was better where I live then I might do that when out walking. I tried it once and it didn't work that well.

^ You could, say, use the Brave browser or a program to save it to a playlist so you can listen to it offline if they have not released it in podcast forum (podcasts of course are easy to save). I have been listening to (and watching) more of Theneedledrop, he does cover lots of albums that I love. Regarding an earlier comment, I am more interest in watch these hen it comes to contemporary albums than classics generally. Or for albums that are new or fairly new to me. Yesterday in Paul's British Artists of 2017 poll, I mentioned a favourite of mine in PA's Prog Folk category with Richard Dawson's Peasant (not in his list). I see that it was reviewed on Fantano's channel (from looking up his website) and will give that a listen. I am more partial to kids of weird experimentation and sounds than he often is I have noticed.

What happened to watching YT on the computer (desktop or laptop)? I almost always watch on my laptop, and very occasionally on the smart tv when showing something to someone else. Never on the phone, I hate using a small screen like that. However, just because some people don't care and use their phone doesn't make them nutbars. If that's easier and doesn't make a difference to them, then that's fine. Plus, some people can't afford a smart tv or computer, so their phone (or perhaps tablet if they have one) might be their only option.

Yes, and not a day goes by that I don't listen to Rush and am reminded of his immense presence, intelligence and lyrical prowess.

Hi,

I don't think that it being fusion or metal is an issue ... what bothers me is the high-schoolish drumming, as if those musicians can't count without a snare drum ... and it's still going around today, and I stopped listening to most prog/progressive because of it, and too many of the lists just show that ... with a small minority of better stuff, or more entertaining stuff.

These days, the jazz side is more entertaining ... might get too many standup bass players from Japan, but getting to hear an 18 saxophone band, and others, including some really fine women bands, makes the prog/progressive selections be really poor, in my book!

The music has to improve, not go backwards. Reminds me of the album from STRING DRIVEN THING ... "band without a drummer" ... and it sounded fine!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

YouTube reviews about prog began to outstrip written reviews in terms of popularity, didn't they?
