 Topic: Prog band = Which football team?
Posted: September 28 2005 at 19:00 |
On another thread Richardh said that if prog bands could be football teams ELP would be Arsenal. Can't see it myself, but it set me thinking. Who would be Chelsea? I think maybe Pink Floyd - made shedloads of money and came from more advantaged backgrounds than much of the competition. Mind you that might be Genesis too  . Dream Theater? Wimbledon - occasionally managed to mix it with the established big boys but lacking in subtlety. I think ELP is Nottingham Forest - once an international giant but a calamatous fall from grace. Apologies if this thread is a mystery to non-British members, but feel free to include teams from anywhere in the world!

 Very true! The whole is worth less than the

Yes must be a club like AC and Inter Milan in one.
Where ABWH is AC and Group Rabin are Inter.
Always considered as a potential Champion, but lately never so exciting to watch anymore.

No Genesis must be some small Belgium club, where all the good players run off to big clubs.

I don't know much about footie...
But i'd say VdGG are the England cricket team. Both made truimphant come backs in 2005 and both can now rightly claim to be the best in the World.

Cricket?? Is that the game with the horses?
Just kidding, of course I knwo cricket and about 99% of the people actually playing cricket live in England, so it is not really a big suprise that they are the best of the world.
But congratulations anyway.

Wouldn't that mean that Notts Forest have split up and are no longer talking to each other?
Also, Wimbledon are now AFC Wimbledon and are in the Ryman Premier!

Given Alex Lifeson's recent punch up with the plods, perhaps Rush are the prog Wimbledon.

Well Forest are having an absolute 'Love Beach' of a season so far!

Maybe Phil Collins was the prog Vinnie Jones. A similar amount of hair and often managed to lower the tone with his uncomplicated style.
