I don't like Mathcore Bands. There seems to be a good number of Prog Fans that do but the Music just doesn't click with me. Like The Dillenger Escape Plan and Protest the Hero. I just couldn't get into those Bands. The Math Rock Bands I've heard blow them out of the water IMHO. ------------- "Do not do to others as you don't want done to yourself."- Confucius |

I can't get into Magma after 30 years... Maybe i should go in Europe to see them live and then see if it change anything. I can't get any satisfaction... from the Rolling Stones, but i don't think i am the only one in The PA community. I don't Like very much Miles Davis, Gong, Kayot Dot and Tool.

Practically anything from JR/F - certainly Miles Davis, Brand X, Weather Report and Santana.
Anything with even the remotest hint of a country vibe, banjo, steel guitar or nasal twang singing, which includes a fair chunk of anything Americana, incuding all those American Psyche bands from the 60s such as Jefferson Airplane and New Riders Of The Purple Sage.
And Bob Dylan - I can't bear to listen to him.
Other than that, I'm pretty easy going & catholic in my tastes.  ------------- What? |

I don't know that prog fans generally like Opeth since the growls turn off a lot of people. But they are in the top 100 of PA so they do have a huge fanbase and I dislike their work for reasons other than the growls. And I can't say that Al Di Meola/RTF does anything anymore for me, which is more a case of growing out of these bands/artists to the point of not liking them anymore. |

I find most of their work pretty rambling, especially the epics. I can't usually get a hang on the direction in which their longer tracks develop, doesn't feel linear enough to me. The ones that are more linear, I feel are made up of more generic ideas. So either which way, I don't find them particularly interesting once the novelty value of a band that mixes growls and extreme metal with mellow and soft sections fades away. |

Renaissance. I sorta dig Prologue, but their more well-known albums are just far too sugary and velvety, I feel like swimming in a huge pool of oysters. A lot of that is down to Annie Haslam's vocals. I can't deny this woman's skills, but they do sound awful to me. Too........ yeah well something........ they're just too over-the-top, which can be a good thing, though not with Annie. She reminds me of a gay person loudly advertising her sexuality in the fruit and veg part of the supermarket. With Annie it's just that she magically turns every little sentence into a caricature of itself. An explosion of melodrama. Well, I guess a lot of that is probably why most folks dig her too  ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Go sit in the corner Gabe. Seriously though, I would think you'd find lots to love on their first 4 or 5 albums. They have next to nothing of the latter day electronic pop, no this is krautrock with a good deal of avant thrown in for good measure(especially the first orange cone record). ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Good Heavens, I am swimming against the tide here, at least 50% of the time. Just looking at the PA's Top 10 ratings ... my enthusiastic agreement is color-coded with green, and my harsh disagreement - with red. 1. Close To The Edge - Perfect, 5/5. Next Q: How did Hybris end up @ #11, while the equal or better Viljans Öga is stuck a dozen or two notches lower? Any why the wonderful Fragile is so much lower than the equally wonderful, but maybe only marginally superior CTTE? Those are just rhetoric Q's, of course.

All the modern epigones of classic-era prog, including The Flower Kings, Anekdoten & all the others. I'm surprised that there's so much fans of definitely second-grade music that simply stands in the shadows of Genesis, Yes, Crimson & other giants. Dream Theater. For me it's kinda boring and soulless, and as they playing music just for guitarists, the thechincal side is the only side of them you might be interested in (and I'm not into all the techincally marvellous guitar w**king, sorry for rude words).

The ambient work of Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" I find very difficult to sit through. When the track is even half finished I find myself silently sayinjg "hurry up and end already!". Textures, Music for Civic Recovery Certre is a different story. However, there's more from this artist I don't know about yet. ------------- http://revbookburn.blogspot.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/rexcat http://www.myspace.com/prxcat Greetings!

I'm not convinced Eno made Music for airports to actually be listened to with any real attention. There's damn near nothing going on, and that the whole point. The very slight subtle changes and evolutions in the tracks are supposed to just be 'felt' at some wierd drowsy level. IMO. I use that album to help me sleep, and it often works. I like it for that reason. Anyway, there aren't any prog bands I've heard and actually think are awful. There are some I just don't don't bother with having heard maybe one album, and it's not really done anything for me. I'm pretty indifferent to Transatlantic and Caravan. I can take or leave TMV too. I'm generally not interested in bands who set out to sound like classic prog bands, unless they're actual good quality tribute acts. On the non prog front I can't stand The Eagles. I would go as far as saying Hotel California is among my least favourite songs of all time. Bob Dylan I find intolerable too. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Snow Dog, I am refuse to accept what you said I never bought an album myself since Ken Hensley left the band, they changed and became more Arena Rock to me. But they were brilliant before, as for as I am concerned, my ultimate all time favorite track is Salisbury wow I love that track. Their first album Very Eavy... Very Humble, Gypsy and Bird of Prey were great Salisbury album plus Demons and Wizards are outstanding albums for me  The Wizard track although it's a theme track it feels very emotional to me, so does Rain and obviously the above tsong i posted July Morning

| ^ Well, as I've said before (once I edited the post), the synthesizers and the tinkling instrument (whatever it is) used in the hard rock context. This kind of chemistry is just not for me. Plus, some chord progressions are hard to digest, let alone the ones strummed on the electric guitar (and I'm a big fan of lead guitar, not chord strumming ... kind of like Ritchie Blackmore's perspective on playing the guitar). |

I wish we can all like the same bands but I guess that's not always the case. I believe you are probably talking about those percussive instruments Neil hits(I believe they're called woodblocks or temple blocks,etc).
