Topic: Prog Cheese: camembert or brie Posted: April 26 2008 at 17:41 |
These are ear-friendly tunes that veer into the commercial kitchen, straight towards the cheese and crackers section . Which do you like the most and you can add one that stinks too (like a good Muenster)

Hocus Pocus? Cheesy? Not at all! But by far the best on this list.

Hey, I agree, which is why I voted for it but you must admit that , compared to their usual fare, the yodelling was a tad "aromatic" .

/How many pop songs have yodeling? Well there was that Jewel song Either way, it's still one of the best driving songs of all time.

Especially when Akkerman positively rips the song to shreds on his axe, a highway mindblast!

Came in here to post that Hocus Pocus is hardly cheesy. My mom got angry at me for playing that in the car!

I don't know if Heat of the Moment is really a progressive rock tune per se (unlike some other songs on that album, which definitely are proggy), but its an outstanding rock song, catchy, melodic and smooth. I find nothing cheesy about it, its just a good pop tune which fit the era well. In fact, same could be said for Owner of a Lonely Heart. Now you want some cheese, check out some Spandau Ballet, some Loverboy, some Air Supply, and most of the hair metal bands of the 80s. THAT is cheese.

Hey THomas, I am always moved by the beauty of C'EST LA VIE !! n'est ce pas?
But all the songs listed are (more or less) good; nothing wrong to be cheesy sometimes.

It's often served with gourmet dinners, as an ideal way to finish off a sumptuous meal, a glass of vintage port in hand. Can't live with experimental/RIO/Zeuhl all the time. A little simple treat from time to time, in secret, guilty pleasures. A taste of Bungle in the Jungle can be really

Either Moonlight Shadow by Oldfield or Hocus Pocus by Focus. Crises is a great album, 1 side of prog epic, 1 side of good pop songs. And before opening it, I thought this poll would be about Camembert Electrique vs. some random album with "brie" in the title.

Moonlight Shadow is great
I´m really getting sick of this word "cheesy", anything that is popular is cheesy?

Agree with this. Maybe not quite Stilton but a bludy good 'song' nonetheless.

It was the heat of the vomit, owner of spoken fart, we don't need no education (well, how about some grammar lessons ... Hey, I actually remember Hocus Pocus getting air play as a little kid before I turned into a zombie prog pod person. Probably qualifies as the first prog music I got into.
