I just got done reading an article from Cracked.com on progressive rock that they did a little over a year ago and I laughed through pretty much all of it.

| Old article is old, but yes still funny. Particularly the final prog product with the 24 minute "The Spheroid of Time". |

I've read it before. It is so true and so hilarious.  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Very funny, and actually quite a lot of it is true. Doesn't stop us loving Prog though does it? |

Thanks for the article. It may be old but I've never come across it before. Very funny indeed, and true.  |

I love how modern prog is characterized by a distinct lack of pants. -------------

| Indeed most of what was said is true... however, I disagree about the importance they gave to drugs... as far as I understand, prog musicians were not into drugs more than other artists. I think some prog musicians would even say that they can't play well if they are under the influence of drugs. I also disagree about calling Apocalyptica and Rammstein prog (though I do like them, specially Apocalyptica... I still need to hear some more Rammstein). |
