Nah, not really. My wife thinks I should give up PROG for a New Years Resolution. She should receive the divorce papers sometime next week.
Ha ha ...... What would it take to get you to give up progressive rock? People with Emphysema still toke on the death nail. Clinically obese people keep motoring up to the drive through window at McDonalds. Dialysis patients serve themselves up another shot of Jack. Yeah, I know. You can't equate prog with a disease, but in some ways, it is addictive. Could you give it up? Could ya?

Yes, Danbo, if I wanted to, I could give up prog. (PC did so.
) There would be many other types of music to fall back on.

Well most of my heroes are not considered prog anyway, so the answer is YES there´s always Jazz and Classical music to rely on.

Considering that for a couple of years in the 90's I listened exclusively to classical,yes I could give up prog. It's not the be all and end all of my existance. Asking me to give up books would be another matter. ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

I could give it up tomorrow, if I wanted to.....
****takes puff of 147th cigarette of the day, whilst supping on quart sized mug of industrial strength coffee**** As I could with any of my vices.... +++cough, hack, cough, hack, splutter, hawwwwwwwwk - spit............Ding+++ Seriously though, I daresay that as my musical taste constantly digresses, I'll naturally listen to less prog (I've only a limited amount of time on my hands, and only one pair of ears after all - but there's so much music out there still to be discovered), but I'd always go back for the occasional fix. But then again, what is prog anyway?

I could never give up listening to Prog music. It would just like selling out to me. -------------

No way. I've been hooked on prog for years. I've tried R'n'B patches, techno gum and Blues hypnosis, but to no avail. I tried taking Hip Hop for a while, but found it just made me depressed. At this rate I'll simply prog myself to death!! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I could if someone would turn me deaf otherwise. Bah, other music exists. Reggae. Rap. Yo, I could take up G-Unit for a living. .... not. I do enjoy mainstream bands from time to time, Our Lady Peace and Sam Roberts and stuff... Radiohead are doing good for me as well, Oasis... Muse.. ish. |
