A dork on amazon.com said that Avril Lavigne was more heavy than Iron Maiden and Dream Theater, and that the guitar players on the Avril Lavigne album was better than John Petrucci!
That being said, i know some people that enjoy prog and i have a friend that loves it!

Dude, you need to have "mix of the above."
Of my male friends, some think I'm loony for liking prog, but some love it and dig it when I turn them on.
My wife has a tough time with prog, from Jon Anderson's voice to the general "busyness" of prog, although she had an epiphany when we saw Yes perform Close to the Edge at Red Rocks last year.
Prior girlfriends stayed far away from prog, except for my high school girlfriend, who liked Yes. In fact, Going for the One, specifically Awaken, was the soundtrack to a "major life event" that took place at the age of 17.

I've got four (Dutch) friends who are really into prog. Even though I live in Belgium now, we meet quite a lot, and let each other listen to our newest cd's, and we visit concerts together. Next planned concert with my friends: Van der Graaf in july, yes!!!!!

my group of friends and I are all into the same music. pretty fortunate really, as we get to share music we've found. we also have prog evenings where we chat, drink, smoke with prog playing on the stereo.

Well, I got friends in all the categories above, but most of them are in 'their pop affected minds cant understand it'.
They run away when I put on Tago Mago...

Many of my friends don't know it. Those who do semi-like it. There is one however that loves it.

My response:
And, was it good? Had a good time? A friend of mine saw them in London, and he was very impressed.
You had your concert, mine is still coming. Yuuu!

I don't think it's much to do with age, Atomic Bomb ... I'm 32 and most
of them haven't got a clue ... when I was 15 I was into early Queen,
Led Zep, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep ... most of my friends and
classmates were into either Stock, Aitken Waterman, Paula Abdul,
Roxette and even worse, a bunch of hair rock imitators like Bon Jovi,
Guns'N'Roses, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Poison, etc ... imagine what
it's like being surrounded by people who are convinced hair rock is way
better than Sabbath, Heep and Zeppelin ... 
Heep of sh*t, they used to say ... come to think of it, I can't remember why they were my friends

They do not have any taste, so do not waste your time by understanding their taste of music

For my friends, I can say a sentence like "Well, the kind of music I like is progressive rock." and they will only understand the words "the" and "rock."
Well, all kidding aside, they aren't stupid. I do have intelligent friends. But they don't know about progressive rock.
