Foiled by the page change. I really, really hate these types of threads. You all sound like a bunch of "rhymes with Blunt" prog snobs. That being said...when the above song citing the above letters starts playing it is a sign for me to get up and leave the establishment that is playing it.

The Beatles have a good bunch:
1.- Revolution 9 2.- Obladi Oblada 3.- Yellow Submarine 4.- Dig it
What I hated more is an ignorant opinión to justify them.
I read a guy saying almost this "Revoluciona 9 is music of the future, John Lennon was so ahead of us that he made music that will only be understood in 100 years, people today are too primitive for this."
I really fell to the floor to laugh, this guy is obviously an idiot who wants to look intelligent.
Drivel was drivel in the 60's, is drivel today and will be drivel in 100 years.

In defense of "Revolution 9", Ivan, I would say there were a hell of a lot of folks dropping acid and tripping to that song back in the day. Not that I would know directly, mind you, but so I've been told.

I always said, "If you can't enjoy a song without acid, it's not worth to listen".
Good music can be enjoyed sober or high.
If somebody exclusively likes a song with acid, probably what he likes is the acid, and the music is just an excuse.

Different times, Ivan, different times. We wouldn't be having discussions regarding prog if not for psychedelic music.

I never said that drugs can't enhance the perception.
What I say is that a if song can exclusively be enjoyed with the help of acid, it's not the music what you enjoy, but the acid.
Going to the mountains in the car a guy told me "Dude this song was so cool on drugs and now it's lame"....I told him "Hey pal, the song was never cool for you, what you liked were the drugs."
Almost everything can be enjoyed with the help of drugs, but really good things, can be also enjoyed without them.

^ I agree. Cool tunes are even better with drugs. If I don't like something sober, I ain't gonna listen to it whilst off my face. Period. But I'm no longer like this, and cool tunes live on. I come across wicked albums where I think " man, I could have a few cones to this " but alas, I'm just loving music as I am. sh*t music is sh*t music, nothing in the world can improve sh*t music.

New candidate: "Sit Still, Look Pretty" by Daya.
At my current workplace, they have a Sirius satellite feed that they change up every few days. When they change it to the "current pop" feed, I swear to FSM this song, with its way-annoying whistled hook, gets played TWICE AN HOUR, EVERY HOUR - leading me to believe that Daya is the daughter of a high-ranking Sirius exec who is doing his damndest to turn his kid into the Biggest Popstar In The World (doesn't seem to be working, as the song appears to have peaked at #60 in Billboard).

Since nominating artists is verboten I'll just say that thanks to "Holding Back the Years" I have developed the fastest reflexes in the animal kingdom at reaching for the "mute" button on the TV remote control, it's quite possible that I could snatch the food from a mantis shrimp's claws before it could blink its highly evolved eyes as long as it was about to sing a Psimply Dred song first. I have found this skill to be particularly effective as a defence mechanism that I am unable to recall the first line of a single Nickleback or Smiths song so cannot list any songs of theirs I "can't stand" because I've not bothered to remember their titles. The only time this ever fails me is with any Coldplay song that sounds exactly like "Yellow" (erm, so that's all of them) because its inane blandness sneaks up on me while my mind is elsewhere so it's often almost over before it's even registered that I'm hearing it.

^ Correct in every sense  I still find Maroon 5 and Train to bring out the inexplicable devil inside of me - these banal snippets of faecal dumpings should never have existed. Ed Sheeran, Bruno Marz, George Ezra, Passenger - all this generic sh*t, should never have existed. Who do these c**ts think they are ?? (Sorry, I couldn't think of anything more befitting for these, erm, 'entertainers'....). And they're a dime a dozen.
