Possibly covered in hundreds of other topics I know! But what is your typical Demographic of a person who's favourite releases of all time are (typically (70's));
Selling England By the Pound, Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans, Going for the One More Contemporary SMPTe ; Garden of Dreams ; Stardust We Are ; Space Revolver ; Subterranea ; Dark Matter ; What ESSENTIAL demographic would link every (or a vast majority of?) datum in this set of peoples?? Beard? Sex? Skin Colour? Current Age? Is there a specific gene that links all these people?? oooooh controversial !!!  ------------- Play me my song.....Here it comes again....... |

Personally I think it's left-handed people and folks who adore asparagus that are mostly into symph. It used to be my second fave sub, back when I first started frequenting PA, but then I dropped the asparagus because my female friend at the time claimed it made my fluids stink....go figure. Nah, I think there are just as many Ethiopian bodybuilders into symph as there are Norwegian flamenco dancers. No such thing as one common denominator, except for the music. I have been revisiting this little Portuguese gem the past couple of days, and it really hits the mellotron spot: Definitely worth the stretch if you're on the look out for some "new" and exciting symphonic beyond the confines of Britain methinks

Hm, Yes that's obvious - but I wasn't claiming that music is divisive or inclusive...just wondering if there is some gene or set of gene's which leads a brain to develop a certain response to the genre? or is it environmental?? ------------- Play me my song.....Here it comes again....... |

I would venture to guess that symphonic prog fans have one thing in common: access to either the internet or their own music player. Because they sure won't hear it on the radio.

I fall almost completely in this "camp" of symphonic prog you have listed (some exceptions, to be sure). I see where the naysayers have gone with this thread. But I will answer you for real: Beard? For the last thirty years of my life Sex? With my wife, whenever we can get it! ("say no more, say no more") Oh, I am sorry: Male Skin color? White (as a ghost) Current age? 55 - great to be alive!

I think there are some great parts of Tales from Topographic Oceans, but, as a whole, I think it falls a bit short of the band's usual standards. I mean it was going to be a difficult task following up Close To The Edge anyway you looked at it.

Oh man it's the BEARDS!!! 
Philip Collins had an epic beard from 1976 to 1978. Most Genesis members did have beards and decent ones at that except Tony Banks and Steve Hackett. I mostly believe that Phil Collins's beard allowed him the power to take over as an excellent frontman in place of Gabriel. 1976 was an amazing year for Genesis and Beard growing was in. ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Hey Barney, sorry for the tardy response I am, and have always been a bit 'all over the place' on PA, so I sometimes forget about where I post. Anyway, I don't know if you have ever really ventured out in RPI and South American prog, but this, while Portuguese, has a very similar feel. Both vocally and musically....and personally I feel Portuguese is one of the most beautiful languages in the world, even if I understand zero of it. Mjeah well maybe I can guess on certain occasions, but other than that, I'm completely lost
Fact of the matter is, that I don't think I want to. This way they can mean everything to me, and I find that pretty special. Heh sorry for the wee rant there, but if you ever care to explore some South of the border prog, this little album is certainly worth the stretch. You can always use it to sound intellectually proficient and proper lingo cultural ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Well, I had no beard for most of my life, and was much more into symphonic prog than I am now. Though I have to say that it's still probably my favorite sub-genre of prog. I remember in my 20's, I felt like it was my own special genre, that almost no one was interested in. Yes, I used to enjoy the blank looks people gave when they asked me what bands I liked (though most had heard of Yes and Genesis, of course). Once I got on the internet, I realized I wasn't so special anymore, so I started listening to RIO/Avant. Turns out though, that there are quite a large number of fans of that sub-genre as well, so again, didn't make me feel special enough. So now I just focus on tribal music of a little known Eskimo tribe who have lived near the north pole for centuries. Finally, I can feel superior to everyone else now as no one but me (and the Eskimos and an anthropologist or two) has ever heard this music! Okay, being serious, I prefer Tales to Close To The Edge. I first heard the Close To the Edge songs on Yessongs, and I have never been able to enjoy the album versions of those songs for some reason (they just seem very disjointed and odd, like they had been pasted together in the studio........which they had been, of course......whereas live they are complete pieces presented with power, verve and great enthusiasm.......you can almost hear the frustration of the band members on the studio versions). |

To be fair, the way a prog band dresses has never really even occurred to me, except perhaps the lead singer (a-la Gabriel & his costume changes). I have never though to myself, wow Greg Lake looks good in those tight pants and boots!
The gigs I went to where I WAS interested in the lead singer's attire was mainly outside of prog (Kate Bush (late 70's) and similar - Debbie Harry !!!! ------------- Play me my song.....Here it comes again....... |

You can't really stereotype people. There are some generalizations that can and do apply but they are often hard to pinpoint and they are just that, generalizations so they don't apply to everyone.
For example there are probably lots of older(late forties to 65 or so year old) prog fans (if you can call them that)who either don't like or don't know about any post seventies groups except maybe Marillion. They just know about and only like what they grew up with. Oh but wait, you fall into that age bracket but that doesn't apply to you right? Well, that's exactly my point. It's a generalization and a stereotype and it's not fair and not always accurate. There's lots of younger fans who don't know the newer bands and only have heard of the older bands(maybe)but because of their age they haven't been exposed to prog(maybe their dad was a Deadhead and didn't know or like prog. See that? ANother stereotype and another generalization.

I don't think there's any stereotyping involved in trying to uncover tendencies. That's what the whole discipline of sociology does, after all. There are probably some who grew up in Oklahoma who are Symph Prog fans. My point, which was delivered in a tongue and cheek fashion, was to point out the influence of region. Genesis' first attempt at touring the US only occurred in a very limited area, mainly the northeast. Besides the region, though, other things do seem to matter. Gender is a glaring example, although I've never understood why. I wouldn't be surprised if left-handedness was unusually high among Prog fans. (Have we had a poll? I'll have to look). I was a big time fan of mythology, science fiction, fantasy, and comic books. I bet those things have some influence on who is a Symphonic Prog fan. |

Oh I see where you are coming from now. I have a BA in sociology so I find it interesting also. However, you are still dealing with stereotypes and generalizations here. You can cover them up by calling them tendencies which may be the case but they are still generalizations. Someone would have to do a case study to find out the hows and whys of it all. Not all sci fi or fantasy people like prog and not all prog people are into fantasy etc. If we make these assumptions we are stereotyping and generalizing. :) Yes they can be tendencies but they are not absolute. |

I was interesting in collecting the set of say - human beings that appreciate "The Flower Kings"/"Glass Hammer" (contemporary (3rd/4th Gen?) Symph prog) then those peoples who similarly groove "IQ" or "Marillion" (2nd generation prog movement) and then those who are "Genesis" or "Yes"...Generation one...once you have those sets of persons what other sets do they belong to? what sets intersect them in the area known as a the Cartesian join? An interesting task in social mathematics me thinks.....
I am definitely in the first six/three? sets of persons - I am also in the sets "Male" / "White" / "European" / "Right Handed" / "Has Read, Science Fiction / Fantasy Novels" / "Heterosexual" / "Atheist" / "Likes Melton Mowbray Pork Pie" / "Stilton Cheese" / "Skinheads on a raft" / "Appreciating The Female body as a living breathing work of art!!!"....etc.. ------------- Play me my song.....Here it comes again....... |

Yeah, progheads are straight, white, often introspective males. Interested in sci-fi and futurism, but also traditional in some ways and romanticist/idealistic. Symphonic prog is probably my favorite type of music. Maybe if baroque music had more worthwhile composers I could go with that. |

It's obvious I'm a fan of Symphonic over any other sub-genre, that's why I stay in the team since the start. But I don't agree in the creation of a "Primus inter Pares" genre, Progressive Rock is an entity and it should remain as one genre because it's differences is what makes it so damn great, no genre is better than another, it's just a matter of taste.

Any fans of the Spanish band Kotebel out there? I only have this:  but it is a wonderful album. They've incorporated some of the complexity and ferociousness of the early symph sound into the mix, but still manage to sound fresh and infinitely more modern - something I really dig about it. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

well Amazon got it to me amazingly quick yep that guy behind the kit is an absolute beast. I like it and modern symphonic prog always scores a little higher in my mind when it has that 'muscular feel' to it ( thinking of Fright Pig as another example). I would say the only slight downside is the lack of vocals. I do prefer symph with vocals and it doesn't matter if they are in the native tongue to me. I suspect that is the only reason its isn't scoring a bit higher than its 3.93 or whatever it is. Nice addition to me collection and as I said I didn't have to push the boat out money wise so I am very pleased
