All boils down to unfamiliarity more than anything else. If it were all they played on commercial radio then they'd like it. |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

because KISS fm is currently brainwashing my generation. in all seriousness, most of it doesn't have a steady 4/4 rhythm like pop music does and isn't what most consider "catchy".

I don't. People do enjoy music for music's sake. They also use it as a soundtrack for their everyday life - even sex, which may be a bit disturbing, when you think about it.

I think that a lot of people today just can't appreciate Prog. Their minds are so narrow, set to Pop, Hiphop, Rap. Whenever they hear something new, or something extremely different and technical, like Prog, they'll give you the same answer: "That's wierd, turn it off", or something like that. I think it all comes down to whether people can appreciate it. It takes a special mind, and a fine tuned ear to be able to figure out the complexity and melodies of bands like King Crimson, ELP, Symphony X, and more.
I love Progressive Rock, and always will, I just hope people find this REAL MUSIC before it's too late. |

OMG this is so great since Henry is the most elitist poster not named Peter in our history. This is like watching someone grapple with them self! And really, welcome back Peter! You know any flak I gave you back in the day for being a pretentious, arrogant know it all is because I'm the same way but couldn't admit it. Edited by JJLehto - July 10 2011 at 16:02 |

This thread contains the words 'elitist', 'appreciate' and 'listen' (< but in italics as if to stress its meaning) far too much. It made my brain melt. |

90% of the background music in movies and media in general is Progressive , but simply no one knows !!! imagine it doesn't exist !!?? the Titanic will be vanished in the Ocean ! However , in my opinion there's only 5% from earth population can understand , appreciate Progressive & enjoy it , and it's not easy to accept it if you're not a musician yourself !

Exactly. People don't like prog because there are different tastes in the world. We just happen to be the minority. |

I hope you are aware that fantasy literature is usually regarded as middlebrow at best. If you want to demonstrate your intellectual superiority, fantasy books and music made by stoned hippies are not the best choices. |

There is no correlation between complexity in the sense of ability to grasp complex things and an open minded philosophical outlook. Some of the most academically brilliant people I have met or people who manage enormous resources and responsibility have simple taste in music. Also, ability to appreciate what is good in complex music is nothing without the open mindedness to recognize greatness in simple ideas, for instance, the Beatles song Something.

I tend to think that people in general are not open minded enough in general, and that also regards to musical taste as well.
In my experience, open minded folks, spiritual Hippie-types, have more fantasy and a wider view og the world than the general traditional conservative population. Much more fantasy & open to possibilities, and that is reflected in the music, from artists who makes it, and the audience that likes it. Simple people like more simple things. Complex people like more complexity and fantasy stuff. Just like any polar opposites in life really.. Progressive/Psychedelic/space-rock are music for the dreamer. |
