Of course all of us have some degree of moody guys (specially young ones), but we usually follow tendences. I'd like to focus on what kind of mood we follow, specifically relating this to our prog love.... I mean I wanna know if for the sake of liking prog, we follow mostly a mood tendence.... well, the poll will say that, but that's my point. How much can prog drive our mood? Opinions are, of course, welcome  ------------- The best you can is good enough... |

I remember the days when I was euphoric most of the time of the day. Those where some great moments in my life. I still do have some, but less than before since I have to worry more thanks to university and all. At the moment, I'm happy with no worries. -------------

I chose Euphoric because I could be sad, neurotic, excited all at the same time...

Extremely moody, I guess. I have moderate highs and, more frequently, very low lows. I don't tend to present myself as sad though.
It'll be interesting to see how this turns out, because my impression of progheads is that we're, for the most part, depressed and frustrated with the rest of the world. Prove me wrong? -------------

EMO! only apathy from the pills in me!!! nah, i'm really none of the above, my mood varies too frequently. I'm generally in a good enough mood, don't get depressed much and when I do it's usually because of music or a book and that's a good kind of depression (contradiction?). Also a lot of the time I get in weird moods that are impossible to describe. -------------

When I was younger, first half of High School I'd say, I was NO DOUBT depressing. Since then I'd say I've become happy. Nit like crazy everything is wodneful!! happy.
But I'm pleased with my life right now.

I chose 'extremely moody', though perhaps the 'extremely' part is a bit... well, extreme. Though I can be moody, there are also day when my mood is very steady, and generally positive. I am also quite romantic... I have always been, but for a long time I didn't allow myself to be. Now I can, and I love it!

I chose other...I'm virtually always in a good mood and I am happy about 23 hours out of the day, but I think its pretty much impossible to have no worries from day to day, even if they are just trivial things.
But it doesn't really phase me that much, I love life and I enjoy it to the fullest. However I am young so I haven't experienced much of the bad side of life yet... ------------- Beauty will save the world.

Mostly happy, but with some serious anger management problems. Never with regard to friends or lovers, but with the random idiots that you run into every day, especially in situations involving automobiles. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Heavy Prog to release some anger, Mellotron drenched Prog to let me feel euphoric, Prog Andaluz to indulge myself in a melancholical mood (Spanish blues) but in general I play all kinds of Prog to enjoy myself, to let me carry away to Progheaven as a happy proghead  ... or perhaps I simply want to escape from this world full of unjustice, wars, Aids, corrupt politicians, pollution ...

Could you try rephrase the question - I don't get it. Do you want to know how prog drives our mood, or vice versa?

| most of the time I'm happy. Nut then at times I might get frustrated. those are my main emotions I guess. Frustration follows when my playlist has 4 Mew albums in a row and each song sounds worse than the one before. But at times listening to good stuff like the "P" section of my playlist gives me an almost orgastic feeling. |

Cheers Angelo........ The question is, mainly, how prog drives your mood, but you've firstly to pick how your persona is. To make it a bit clear, I made this poll to the purpose of knowing which mood tendence does the average proghead follows..... for curiosity  ------------- The best you can is good enough... |

Right........... prog doesn't drive my mood - and as for myself, I guess I'm in the moody category for the same reason as Micky.

Do The Neurotic by Genesis is one of those songs... Well, what shall I say? I now quite a bit of psychology, so I see quita a bit of neurotic behaviour in my own persona, but what I really would like is an euphoric state of mind

I suffer with a mood disorder one thats likely to cause me to be stigmatized if I mention it I( I know it will thats the truth) I have been this way for years ... so I`m moody lets just say .There's a prog band to suit every mood I get in theres even some prog bands that go beyond the mood i'm in to moods I can't even explain. |

I guess the word would be "chill;" not really happy nor sad, simply in a state of unperturbed indifference. It's really nice, actually.

I'm all over the place and in between at the drop of a hat Right now I have Vanessa Simmons from BJH playin'...for some reason this one always makes me teary-eyed....those lyrics bring out some familiar feelings that I can't quite put a finger on.....  ------------- Signature Writers Guild on strike |
; I guess you could say I'm usually striving for some kind of worry-free, self-induced euphoria when I listen to music and that leads me to put on something that fits my mood or maybe is the complete opposite if I'm unhappy and want to feel better. I might add "nostalgic" to your list - I tend to be overly sentimental with music which accounts for my "seasonal" listening patterns: certain bands only get played during Spring, Autumn, etc.Posted By: jimmy_row
Date Posted: November 16 2007 at 22:44
I guess what I was getting at was that music helps clear the mind - I'm definately an escapist - like Erik said, you can forget about all the wars and politicians if only for an hour or two...the world is perfect for now
now I'm off for some self-induced euphoria

I've never said it were a requirement; read the question again. It's a poll, to relatively know which mood do the average proghead follow. It's also just an idea coming around in my head... perhaps a common like among a group of people means a mood tendence to follow (that was initially my idea). P.S.: This thread has resurfaced! ------------- The best you can is good enough... |

I say "other" because I have mellowed over the years (unless I'm driving ) but I'm still a moody old bugger, just not very extreme. I'd say laid-back and chill with the odd burst of mild anger at the world and everything in it. ------------- What? |

Denial.
I put euphoric because the music I listen to is usually euphoric. Admittedly though, I don't feel euphoric nearly as much as I should, more of a content apathy. There should be a choice for that, picture contentedly apathetic music. Caravan maybe?

I like Uber-depressing music. I run the gambit in terms of taste and i like a wide variety of stuff including some very happy music but my favorites always tend to be very melancholic. Godspeed you! is the perfect example of how i like to feel. i almost enjoy being depressed almost as much as i enjoy being happy. especially when im by myself i get to get all thoughtful and deep and angry. its kinda a cool feeling. . . . . do i need medication? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/KeiserWillhelm" rel="nofollow - What im listening to |
