I know lots of very danceable prog; in fact I think almost all prog can be danced to, as long as it has some rhythm at least, be it how complicated it may be. We have even danced to extreme music without any rhythm.

I think most girl are very influenced by the media and all (especially in big cities), and listening to prog isn't 'cool', and it need some research these days. It's easier to do like everybody and listen to the sh*t on MTV. There's also a lot of boys like that, they are only in metal and PUNK, but there's more girl like that.

It's weird..I learnt about Progressive Rock (that is to say Allll about it!) from a man who appears more effeminate than most other men I've met in my lifetime and I get all my Prog music from him too. He insists that Prog rock is definitely a guy-thing....then why oh why dies it appear so girly to me?? Is it because it's arty? Where I come from- the Arts Subjects seem to appeal more to the girls than the majority men who do more 'practical' things. in fact, most of the men I've met are  . Pardon the apparant feminism but believe me- it's non-extistant. I mean to say that most of the men I've met don't understand classical music, they don't care for the arts, for plays, books etc... But when I met this guy he kinda flipped the tables on my view point. Life is filled with wonderful surprises.
Then I have another friend of mine who's a girl. She reckons Prog Rock is only 'girly' because it is lacking in girls.  Maybe, focusing on the sex-orientated sphere, Prog Rock IS a masculine thing. I admit I'm in love with it, and I have bi-sexual tendancies. And Bald jean is lesbian..this has to mean something!
Or maybe it's just the fact there are so many long-haired men in prog Rock bands- which turns me on  . On second thoughts.....maybe not.  Music= the main part.

I've always thought that prog rock was art, as with jazz, classical and post rock. So not everybody will like it naturally. I herd somewhere the boys are very 'pratical' or very 'artistic', but rarely both. They're more extreme, as girl got a little of both. So boys hates prog, or love it. Girls seem to not care much.
I must says I am a very artistic person, and I'm far from being effeminate
The fact there isn't much girl in prog rock bands might be one reason. My sister only likes bands with a girl who sing, but then again, she doesn't likes Renaissance... And that would bring another question, why there's not much girl in prog bands? Endless debate...

Hey, do be careful with what you say about metal there...it DOES have its prog side, whether you like listening to it or not.

Well, I meant the metal there's on TV; slipknot, system of a down, etc... (I don't know other, I avoid those kind of things...). There is also a tons of Metallica and Iron Maiden, but I got the feel they all listen to it to like everybody else.
By the way, I hate metal

One of the best things about being female at a live prog concert is i never have to wait in line for the ladies room!!
I have a lot of friends who are female and love ELP... and now I see that valravennz is female and I know she likes ELP... so I guess ELP is the prog band for the ladies...
Well besides being so wonderfully talented... all three are absolutely gorgeous!!! 
|
yeah that wait in line for the ladies room is a distinct advantage of being in the minority at a concert - particularly these days. Not so, back in the 70's, when there were many more female fans of the genre at live concerts
However, ELP is indeed a favourite of the ladies, this one in particular too ... and they are gorgeous...love that photo ...Hugely admire their talent as musicians - Cheers Linda
I am a woman, but I'm also a lesbian  . Perhaps that's why I like prog. So those guys up there don't do anything for me . But somewhere I saw a hot pic of Sonja Kristina; now that's more to my liking.

I am a 20 years old male, and for what i know i am not very gay, but i have to say that picture of ELP realy makes me hot, they all look fantastic, and especialy Lake and Palmer they are so f**king sexy!
They are definitly the best looking prog band ever.

Somehow the quotes in one of my statements must have got in disorder, because I never said that, I only replied to it
