^ first single I bought! Seems like an age, my two sons hate my nostalgic reveries, they always tell.me I'm making it up...pah YOUTH....

I listen to mostly progressive rock, jazz, and blues.

I listen to prog 80% of the time ... I must confess I like the sweet and slade still and other rock bands from the 70's  somebody asked about mick tucker The real question though: what exactly does Mick Tucker do that requires 2 bass drums? ... hes was one of the greatest drummers ever imho

King Crimson all the way, everything else just sucks

It was like a symphony of smells -- sour "notes" with some wet notes and every note a bum note, but harmonious. I half woke up, the redolent, effluvial odours sitting heavily in the air, and thought, "This is brilliant," I thought,"I have composed a symphony of smell" all with but one butt. I knew I could do more, and not rely on any posteriors. I planned to create music out of smells -- rather like aromatherapy. It must have been done as art exhibits/ installations before. Someday, some computer scientist is going to find a way to allow smelling on the Internet (instead of YouTube, it would be YouSmell). I look forward to smelling your composition someday.

That would be great. It would be helped with the right processor in your computer, the latest Insmell® Core™ Processor would work.

There was Smell-O-Rama, which was employed at certain movie theaters to add smells to the films to get bums on seats. An early example of this being the silent-but-deadly classic Disney Mickey Mouse film, "Who Cut the Cheese?" The famous Vaudevillian flatulist Stin Keeserman (who shortened his name to Stin Kee) was an early proponent of the silent-but-deadly cinema market back in the 1920s. Perhaps he is best known for adding the sound effects to Gone With the Wind (1939) and doing a live performance wuch was promoted as "Gone With the Wind in its windiest performance ever"*.

Note: Smell-O-Rama is a real thing, but the story of Stin Kee and that Micky Mouse classic is me being fanciful if it's not obvious to all.

One would think that is the very definition of close-mindedness -- and end, not a beginning. Instead of a musical voyage of discovery, a person such as this has built his walls and is preparing to die in a tomb of his own making, in either a real or metaphorical sense. In the sense of prog rock being and end all, be all, how the hell can you tell what is "progressive" if you don't listen to anything else? Because PA tells you it is? Because Wikipedia says that it is? This is particularly true in that prog itself is an amalgam of often disparate musical genres added to rock and thus making it something else.
