probably '..nerds' is the right answer but I've gone for the safe option of 'just a bunch of people.....'

Just a bunch of people who prefer certain types of music. Any age group, although the older set are more protective because of all the years of progressive rock bashing by the so-called music critics following their shallow trendy waves through the years. |

All: Some of your banter reminds me of something Klaatu once answered during an interview after the release of their second album, "Hope." The interviewer asked, "Some people say that "Hope" is a masterpiece, while others say it's out of sync with the time we live in. What would you say?" Their answer? "Then we must assume it is a masterpiece out of sync with the time we live in!" Peace. |

I can't believe no one voted for 'dreamers and outcasts...'. Come one, one can't be more of a social outcast with tastes like mine: - Prog rock: This is absolutly THE MOST despised and unfashionable music today. Hell, even the Easter processional marches from Seville are more widely accepted. - Pre-Raphalites: Please, can someone tell me a most unfashinable pictorial school nowadays? - Fantasy: This is one of a hell o a cynical era. Fantasy worshippers must take shelter in the company of nerds... because we are usually nerds. At least, I usually like mainstream movies above all... what makes me a social outcast in my work, a tv channel full of people with a taste for terrible irani films about people doing nothing... |

"dreamers and outcasts privy to uncommon beauty" While not being able explaining this to non-proggers. According to them I'm a beer-drinking idiot with weird musical tastes.

| I think it's extremely pompous to state that prog listeners are "above the norm" in any way. I mean, prog is my favorite genre, but I love everything from punk to folk. So does also liking these other genres make me less intelligent than the rest of you? |

I haven't evolved to fins yet. I'm an annelid, which makes it very
difficult for me to type. I have to hit key after key with the frontal
end of my body. My sense of hearing is very restricted, and my ganglion
is not fit for understanding the finer subleties of music, so I stick
to prog.

A mixture of everything except the stoner thing for me.  Then again, I got a terrible headache after not drinking tea in two days, and it laste for a day and a half, until I cooked a pot, and then everything just felt AWESOME. So, maybe the stoner bit, too. I should stop drinking those three litres a day... But, in general, I'd say that proggers are more pretentious than the average music fan. So I voted for no. 1, since I thought it was the most significant. ------------- www.geocities.com/joelbitars |

I voted for the just a bunch option, but if some psycho-therapist would analyse me, he would soon discover some very snobistic thoughts. And suddenly I would jump up from the sofa and shout: my taste in music is flawless! It is SO much better than yours!
