HAHAHAHAHA Animal Collective classified as dance music.
That's coke-spill worthy.

So I'm lol-worthy?

I agree; and it's even more interesting that James is judging them based on their most (arguably) poppy song.

I remember that movie.

What a stupid reason to keep yourself from music.

Not me.  It's the music.

I should make a Henry Cow v. Animal Collective poll and see how it turns out.

I'm not being defensive of Animal Collective.  If someone dislikes them, I personally don't give a f**k.  I don't like when people blindly say hateful things about a band unprovoked (it's okay if someone asks for your opinion, not so much otherwise), classify them as something they clearly are not with a negative connotation, or thinks that their opinions are truths.  Closed-mindedness and stupidity have more in common than most people expect.  If you want to specialize in an obscure type of music that only 3 other people that you know on the internet like, that's fine.  It's not okay to make fun of virtually everything that doesn't fall within that specialization.

Lately I've discovered that a lot of prog fans here are just as bad as mainstream music fans.  Not everyone.  Not the majority.  But quite a lot....  Discovering that in addition to discovering new types of music has moved me away from considering myself a "progger" and in turn, this website.  If people opened their minds more, or at least shut their mouths (/fingers), this website would be much more enjoyable for everyone.

Except I was joking with my comments...

Ah well.

I'm not solely into prog.  In fact, I barely listen to what most people consider prog.

And I do not specialise in obscure music for kicks.  I genuinely enjoy it.  I also enjoy more mainstream music.

I'm a Neil Young and Bob Dylan fan.  I enjoy Joan Osbourne's Relish.  I even own a Primal Scream album which is often classed as a Dance album.  In fact, I quite like some Prodigy and Aphex Twin.

I even saw a Celtic folk band the other week.

So I am very open minded.
