I tried to hide the fact that I loved Saturday Night Fever... but I can't anymore.

So what's classic rock anyway? Bands like Simon And Garfunkel, ACDC, America and Black Sabbath right? How do you play ii a classic rock style?
People only think they know what they are talking about if they parrot stuff they read and hear (media spin). Prog is well off the radar of the public at large. |

I donīt hide anything in music. I donīt understand guilty pleasure term at all. I like what I like.

That's interesting to learn! I had figured that with all the great seventies bands from Finland the progressive thing must have been pretty big there. Maybe more of a big cult? Edited by Mascodagama - February 07 2018 at 06:45 |

This alway baffled me: average people with no musical taste, sense, or skill insisting stuff like Yes, Genesis, etc is "gay music" (I've actually had people tell me this). Meanwhile they don't bother to digest anything outside of pop/country/top 40 stuff. Take it with a grain of salt. I blast people over how sh*t bands are today compared to the amazing 1970's lol.

Once upon a time, youd get bashed if you said you like Devo or Kajagoogoo.
If you mentioned Van der Graaf Generator or Hawkwind, youd just get weird looks. |

I have no idea. I think it's a made up word.

Nuclear Nightclub is not a favourite of mine at all. I guess I can see why it was popular, but without Pohjola and Gustavson it wasn't the same. Thanks for sharing.

I almost never mention the word 'prog' irl. People who know me well would just think, "oh here he goes again with one of his silly obsessions to get attention" if I start going around using that word, I know it. A lot of them know I like Yes, and Genesis, and Kiss, and Wishbone Ash, and T Rex, and Steely Dan, and Humble Pie, but I don't label it as anything. Those are just artists that people know I like to listen to.

No. I try to promote prog to some degree. Most people I come across don't know what it is when I bring it up in conversation.

hide? from who pray tell.... god I love these adolescent poll questions. No wonder the mama's basement sterotype of prog fan persists...
a more interesting question for this forum would be
do you try to hide the fact you dislike prog |
