"Okay, so Kerrang gave its viewers the chance to vote on their favourite
band or a band they thought was the 'best ever'. 300,000 votes were
made and the results are here." Therefore, Kerrang have done nothing. Their readers have "sold out" as you exclaim. I am fine with the list. I can't stand very many of the bands, and none of my favorite bands are on there. But, it is just a list. Big deal, someone or some group of people like certain things you don't. Doesn't make what you like any better or worse. It is a subjective opinion. No such thing as best, really. Not in this context. |

Why are you so outraged by this? It's a list compiled by the readers of a rock mag which is most definitely NOT targeting a prog-fan audience. It's hardly surprising that a bunch of teenage metal fans neglected to mention King Crimson in a top 100 list, is it?

Absolutely right. The magazine started off targeting a more adult market, but basically now targets the teenage angst metal market. Nothing wrong with that - hopefully, most of them will grow up to appreciate more of the music we love on this site - I know I did. I'm pleasantly surprised there were five on the list  ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

| Why do people have to like what we do? Why is their musical taste so... "inferior"? "You like what you like" friend. I think that while most don't buy into it, there are still quite a few of those "holier-than thou" progressive music listeners. Not that it is much of a big deal either way. I suppose it is that way with all things. |

I assure I enjoy that top 100 more than our own top 100....
Maybe I'm on the wrong site after all... or maybe that "arrogant proggie" thing that people are talking about in the prog lounge has finally hit the "enough" button.... -------------

I'm... speechless. This only enforces my suspicions that Kerrang! own no real musical knowledge at all.

I was hoping Black Dahlia Murder or Cattle Decapitation would make the list, at least Hinder...
I'd say there maybe 10 bands on this list that I listen to or would consider listening to, I must be behind the times -------------

NIN at #4, not bad. I'm impressed by such a, as you say, 'sellout' magazine. -------------

Seriously, am I the only person that finds it ridiculous that people care whether these lists have prog bands on them or not? Can't people just enjoy GOOD music, and not give a sh*t if it's prog or not? I like a fair number of the bands on the list, because I think they make GOOD music. Who gives a f**k if it's prog or not? People need to get over this attitude that prog is somehow inherently superior, it's a sickening attitude. And this is coming from a Collaborator of Prog Archives, no less. |

Oh no, a stupid reader poll, let's all waste time being upset because that will surely accomplish something! Next let's make another thread about the Rolling Stone Best 500 Albums list! MAN, WHY ISN'T ITCOTCK RATED HIGHER?

Why does it list a song by them next to the band? Could it be perhaps,the top 100 rock band songs as in the guitar game or something? Just made me wonder seeing people couldn't find this list.

I also chuckle anytime someone endorses post-89 music. Oh, Kerrang... such a misled publication. Hilarious, but also tragic. |

Please, it's natural, the bigger the number of voters in a magazine, the smaller the percentage of Prog listerners you will find (Unless it's a Prog magazine).
And at the end....................................Who cares?
I like the music because of my taste, not because millions like it or because only me and other two lunatics know about them and i can feel superior, i love Fleetwood Mac, Meatloaf, Factor Burzaco or Abbhama, the first two extremely popular and the last two, are underground even here, but that doesn't affect my opinion, the four are outstanding to me.
Prog is not popular.......Learn to live with that.
