Van Der Graaf Generator. You enjoy exploring the noisy sound of music. You like to look for a new type of sound through effects or other various electronic sourses. You're also a talented musician.

King Crimson. You're an experimental musician who enjoys elements of all types of music. You prefer jamming over melody and you're a prog icon.

Nice test, although I don't really think I'm a talented musician...

I've been trying to see all of the different results by filling in random answers. I think there's only King Crimson, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Yes, VDGG, Rush, and Frank Zappa.

i think this quiz is silly. i don't like jamming that much. it made me Crimson. and only one question i anwered that could lead to this conclusion, the the "jamming" one, I answered with a negative response. using electronics once in a while and experimenting everso often shouldn't lead to such a wierd answer.

but i guess it's just a quiz.

yeah what the hell?  For the experimentation question i put it's better to have composed music for the sake of complex arrangements, and I said that effects and noises are 'not nessecary, but they can be used.'  The only thing I answered that should make me Crimson is that I like 'A mix of rock, jazz, and classical music.'  About how I feel about the term progressive rock I said "I Love it" and if I'm not mistaken Fripp himself said he doesn't like the term at all.  That test is BS!

Genesis. You're a musician that enjoys beautiful compositions. You're music tends to be sweeter sounding than Yes or Crimso, but you make up for it with a good instrumental ensemble.

sounds good! http://calego.cc/superpower/index.php?&act=Nations&name=&name_box=all&max_results=50&sort_order=asc&sort_key=n_gdp&sort_leader=no&st=100 -

Zappa/Rush.  some things I was undecided and tried it both ways
I'm a huge rush fanboy so that makes sense but I don't own a single Zappa album, I guess I should start.

And I think RObert Fripp thinks that himself. Even though it's said that he hates melody yatta yatta yatta, I think he knows to use it. That's why I love King Crimson.
