Well, OK, yes yes yes, we're all going on about "old prog versus new prog"..... as occasionally happens here, folks ! ;-) How about the original post though - one thing music you've listened to a LOT comes with associated memories. These take time to build up with "new music". 

Anyone got any specific memories associated with "old" prog tracks which make them special for them? 
I thought that was the originall post:

I certainly have many good and crazy memories of listening to Prog with my mates as a teenager, invariably including excesses with various substances Embarrassed the police had to come often alerted by angry neighbours, we would airplay and sing along standing and jumping on top of the tables...

Once police came in while we were doing a war throwing boiled rice at each other at my parents' place, when I opened the door the policemen couldn't hold a laugh, the whole hall floor and myself covered with sticky rice, they just asked me to turn he volume down and left.

On another occasion a friend of mine and myself were together with two girls we had just met a couple of days before, at a certain point in the evening each couple went to a room to ... well you know what... while The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway was sounding as background. I think it was a cassette recording or perhaps playing with the turntable vinyl disc changer (does anybody remember those?) so we did not have to get up to change disc sides. We were both busy doing our thing with our chicks, but when Back In New York City started playing we both started screaming-singing it and came out from the rooms and kept singing and airplaying together completely naked in the living room, for the amazement of the girls LOL

I have quite many of those memories...

Old PROG has more jazz and classical influence while new prog has bad influences such as metal, hard rock etc to really ruin the composition
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

This is no revelation, this is science! I read recently that our brains are hard wired to prefer the music we know. It's human nature. Some of us just seem to be more nostalgic than most. I don't see anything wrong with that; listen to what makes you happy and try not to insult what makes others' happy.

Saw this posted on the other forum.  Sounded like 70's prog, but it was listed I think as new.
