A bit of fun here and why not....... . The Dream Theater fans are good sports so who is it going to be? Micky gave me the idea.

The poll is a lie. Yes and Dream Theater have no fans.

I don't know anybody fun. You know we prog fans all live in our mother's basement and only come out when there's a Star Trek convention.

It's time to climb out of that dusty ol' basement and poke yer head out and smell the fresh air above. I only wish I could have put this poll in the prog section. Lots more traffic that way. I need a way to stir up the hornets nest called Dream Theater. They are way to much fun....

Dream Theater fans. Not only can you mock their band without any fear of retaliation, but you can also kick them while they're down and feel good about it  |

Personally, I think the group of prog fans who are the most fun are those who know the correct use of the words "What" and "Which"

Zeuhl and Krautrock fans, probably. Most of the Dream Theater fans I've encountered have just been annoying, although I suppose it could be argued that they're having fun while doing it. ------------- This is my signature. Amazing, isn't it? |

Dream Theater fans are the 2nd-most obnoxious fans, beaten only by Rush fans. what I mean by that is that they tend to go and say"...." (fill in they name of any band member) is the greatest player of .... (fill in the name of the instrument he plays)". now I have nothing against people saying "..." is a great musician on his/her instrument", but the best? how are you going to measure that? I am not saying that fans of other bands don't do that at all, but it is especially notable with these 2 bands. now while I certainly have my preferences as to whom I like best as a musician on a certain instrument I would not go and say anything like that; I would only say "I prefer ....'s (fill in the name of a musician I like best) style of playing". but best? how are you going to measure that? tempo? expression? ideas?

gotta vote for the DT fans... can't say much for their taste... but they are good sports.. and no group is easier to toy with and get a rise out of hahhaha. Whenever the forum is slow ... or things are gettting too serious.. .just piss on the group and watch the acne scarred masses rise to defend their heros hahha by far the best of the fanatic groups.... thankfully the PT fanatics have sort of gone underground for the time being... they aren't true fanatics... where is the S.W. vs. God poll. Amateurs... The Magma group was cute at first... now they sort of have become a joke... noticed they aren't even acknowledged much. A great group.. in spite of those who sing their praises the loudest. Yes fans? who really is a Yes fanatic... really can't think of anyone who is whole hog Yes or a Knight in the service of Yes hahhaha. ELP fans... the coolest probably... completely bulletproof against the stupid things said around this forum about them .. yet secure in the knowledge that ELP... IS prog. The rest... merely ride the wings of popularity.. without ELP.. prog would have never been what it was. what other fan groups are there here anyway? ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Yes, that may well be true, kind of like what happened when 'Punk Rock' kinda stole Progs thunder, but as we all know that was short lived. Some of us old proggers intend on being around for quite some time to keep you young buggers on the straight and narrow.............

Magma fans are only fun when they go mad in Kobaian. Dream Theater and Rush fans tend to be over-enthusiastic about the musicians, but the most fun for me is when people start praising the "beautiful, angelic" voice of Jon Anderson

You also forget that along with his angelic voice comes some of the industries best lyrics.

There are the Camel fans, but it appears that we've managed to scare some of them off, or at least divide them. besides, I'm sure they're still working out whether Mirage, Moonmadness or The Snow Goose was more influential... The VDGG fans don't seem to have formed a coalition yet, but when they do, it will be a dark day for the fora (and I'll love it). I know there are more than a few of us around here, we're just not as organised as the other factions.Besides that, we have the hip-hop/rap group, who are now largely ignored. |

I 2nd that! I never knew I was THAT annoying. I guess when you hang around DT fans all the time you don't really have anything to argue about. Except me and my friend always put albums superior to others.

We just fight to get a rise out of eachother and have fun...also he's a drummer and I'm a guitarist so of course there's the "John Petrucci is more of a God than Mike Portnoy" being sarcastic of course, they're not Gods............................only Petrucci -------------

I plan on sticking around to well past 70 and fully intend to be a thorn in the side of the new-guard once they grasp power from our feeble arhtritic hands - oh what fun we'll have then when we team up with the new VRoomers of 2028 who will sneer at the fuddy-duddy music of the 90s and 00s and together we will plague the new lighthouse keepers with our combined acerbic witt and unparalleled knowledge of all things archaic and modern, imagine the fun we will have when the young upstarts who think they know everything are aided, abettted and spurred-on by the cantankerous old farts who really do know everything, oh yes, mark my words and quake as we embark on our subversive campagne of terror and sweet sweet revenge, for we will have no fear and a lifetime of curmudgeonly grudges to exact upon the new-order, for there will be a word, and the word is later and it's right for us, there is a time and it's time to take the time...
...then I'm a fan of the 60s, 80s, 90s and 00s as well as the 70s (and hopefully the 10s and the 20s) so I guess I don't count.
I think all prog fans are fun, some are funny and others are funky. ------------- What? |

This wisdom from someone who told me I could not hold the opinion that VDGG's Pawn Hearts was IMHO an average album ? Remember the two options you were allowing me ? Would this "pose" strike you as fanboyism ?  I would say that the fans of bands we dislike most are maybe the fans we find the most obnoxious. (2nd occurrence of self editing of needless rant) Anyway, be it music, sport, politics, whatever ... if you hate something enough, you're not going to be too excited about having to listen to someone rave about their fave representative of said field. And to somehow extend that opinion as an objective description is a bit much ------------- "Here I am talking to some of the smartest people in the world and I didn't even notice,” Lieutenant Columbo, episode The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q.

Seems you guys forgot the worst(most fun) fanboys of em all the ones this site was pretty much built by... the Genesis fanboys, you know how it goes Genesis is the best prog band of all time by far, Without genesis this site whuldent excist, and the most funny thing with em is they only seem to listen to genesis and genesis sounding neo prog bands, they only post in genesis related topics and always show up in polls to tell us how superior genesis is to every other prog band ever... -------------
