converted to prog

I think people should be eased into it, because I was eased in myself. The first prog band I got into was Pink Floyd, and they're a band that doesn't screw with your head while still managing to make amazing prog masterpieces. It still took me quite a while to appreciate Dark Side of the Moon for the incredible work it is... to be honest, the first few times I listened to it I either got bored or just skipped to "Money" and left it at that. And let's not even talk about "Larks' Tongues in Aspic..." I only played "Book of Saturday" out of that album for about a month before I got everything else. And you know why that is? Because I listened to the most accessible, yes, that's right, accessible songs on the albums so that I could begin to understand the style of the band, and that was a huge bridge in understanding their other songs. If I had heard "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" when I was 14, I probably would have thought it was rubbish and given it straight back to my dad (who eased me into prog, btw).

Prog, like fine wine, is an acquired taste.
