This thread is self-explanatory: create your own slogan for any prog band.This is a tongue in cheek thing, so please don't be offended by anything somebody says. Also, please don't say "Yes: The best band ever." or "Yes: the worst band ever" These are supposed to be funny. Praise people if you want, but please do it in a way that would be funny to other people (like I did with Pink Floyd). So here we go:
Van der Graaf Generater: "When something even remotely mainstream JUST WON'T DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" [the capitals are Peter Hammil shouting/singing]
Pink Floyd: "Geniuses with slow fingers."
Roger Waters: "This is a concept album, right?"
Yes: "Earth cloud brings circle tree, carrying."
Jethro Tull: "Flutes are too cool for you."
Captain Beefhart: "This is pretty avant-garde, isn't it?"
Genesis: "We Miss Peter Gabriel (In Our Band)"
Rush: "We Can't Sing." ------------- "Never forget that the human race with technology is like an alcoholic with a barrel of wine." Sleepytime Gorilla Museum: Because in their hearts, everyone secretly loves the Unabomber. |
