Topic: Which Proggers would you like to see as AI judges? Posted: July 24 2012 at 15:07 |
Apparently, Mariah Carey will be one of the new judges. That should make a certain segment of PA old-timers quite happy.

Not prog, but it would be funny seeing Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper and Nina Hagen

I would like to see Fred Firth hammering every single one of the contestants for being unoriginal, tedious and for lacking "artsmanship". Toby would just be there being depressed, I think.

I could totally see the boys from TMV being judges, and Omar criticizing singers in his typical philosophical, intellectual way. Maybe Jonsi from Sigur Ros and Geddy Lee as well.

Make Fripp and Hammill the judges. Or anybody else who will blast the hell out of these contestants and scare them off stage for good.

That is kind of the point of the thread though. Personally, I really can't stomach the show, and I like some popular music. The idea being, that if x prog vocalist/musician were added, it would make the show more interesting. Obviously, this is making the bold assumption that by having that musician as a judge, the music that is performed would also be more progressive. I agree that progressive rock is more about the music than the vocals, but there are certainly progressive songs that have great vocals, or great sounding vocals, even if the lyrics are about the Lord of the Rings and pink fairies floating in purple mountains.

Somehow resurrect Frank Zappa, then I would watch.
Thinking realistically, Peter Hammill, Ian Anderson, and Fish were mentioned above, and would probably have interesting things to say.

I think Peter Hammill would be perfect.
Others.. Thom Yorke Phil Collins Pete Townsend or Roger Daltrey

I'd rather they spurned it like the garbage it is and got on with making great music.

Annie Haslam could represent prog as the female judge.

Fish. I think he would do a good job of hamming it up (in a good way, of course)

Another thought. Gentle Giant's Derek Shulman. He has made a living out of signing musical talent.

Bill Bruford---he's smart, cutting, sarcastic and a musical snob---perfect.

Ian Anderson would provide quite a bit of acerbic wit, I would think. Brian Eno might provide an intriguing perspective.
