I was searching for something else when I came across this little "gem": http://www.wikihow.com/Enjoy-Progressive-Rock" rel="nofollow - http://www.wikihow.com/Enjoy-Progressive-Rock Apparently I've been doing it all wrong over the years. According to this, before enjoying the music I have to understand all the complex genres and sub-genres. They recommend to get into progressive rock you start out with Genesis - mainly the 80s songs. (Were they prog? Oh wait, we've done that argument before). I don't know whether to laugh or cry with this article, it seems so patronising. Progressive rock for dummies? I'm trying to work out what sort of person sits down and thinks "I'm going to try getting into Progressive Rock. Let's look on the internet to find out how." Oh and apparently drugs have nothing to do with it (see the end). Never thought they did, having been into it for 35 years and never taken anything stronger than alcohol  Opinions?

| Honestly, the fact that there's an article literally titled "How to Enjoy Progressive Rock" is just hilarious. There shouldn't be an article telling people how to enjoy music in general, especially considering the fact that music is subjective and everybody has different methods of getting into certain genres. Wikihow is pretty funny sometimes. |

Haha, not surprising when you consider that alcohol is one of the hardest drugs^^ You should really try to listen to prog while high, its awesome. psychedelic rock is what got me into prog couple years ago, and its what prog emerged out of, so its no coincidence psychedelics and prog work well together

That's not a poorly written list though I'd think it a joke if it weren't so serious. It's funny that 'Eclectic Prog' is now an Net-accepted term. That's a PA creation.

Indeed . I remember getting into an argument on an Italian forum because I was defending the Eclectic definition (which, if my memory serves me right, was a product of my own warped mind). Edit: I have read much worse articles on prog, though the article is clearly not meant for seasoned listeners like us. Anyway, whoever wrote that should be commended for genuinely trying to introduce would-be listeners to prog, instead of patronizing the whole genre and its fandom as many others have done. //www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" rel="nofollow - |

First of all, no Avant or Zeuhl or Kraut. Looking at the "other bands" I find hilarious the recommendation for Breathless. Should I suggest a Camel album, that's one that I would never think of. But I agree with "Close your eyes and try to imagine the scenarios that the songs are crafting" It's a good suggestion, IMO ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

Generally I agree with those here who have said (in essence) people don't get into music quite this way. You like what ya like! But that's MOST people, not all people. And if this article prompts even a small number of people to explore and get to like prog rock (who would not have done so otherwise) I think its a good thing! ------------- Z |

Well it is possible that some teens actually get some of the same out of her music as we do with say Tull or Floyd. I saw this interview with a 15 year old girl who'd completely changed her life (for the better), because of Miley's music. She said she got goosebumps from certain numbers and that the lyrics made her question her own life. Reminds me of something Me? I neither hear or see it (mjeeaaah maybe I see it a little bit - rrrrauw), but let's leave it up to people to find their own taste in music. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| ^Strangely, there's always a thread that runs through music and disparate artists. Miley was featured on the last Flaming Lips record. The Flaming lips are Floyd fanatics and did a not so hot cover of DSotM a few years before. If a Miley fan gets into some later psych pop Flaming Lips like Yoshimi, then he or she may go into a prog direction. This is the only business or marketing way I know of to bridge this kind of gap, but it is possible. |

I kinda agree with you Raff. I just find the whole thing rather ridiculous tbh. Like this pseudo-prog-bootcamp where you are trained in listening to a specific kind of music. I don't get that at all. Maybe if I compare it to eating chilis? One shouldn't start out with a ghost pepper but rather sprinkle a few drops of tabasco on a fruitpie. Wow now I get it I just would've worded my article a little differently and spoken more of chilis, if I were to introduce prog to newbies......and almost certainly picked a different set of artists/albums. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Almost completely wrong, and the worst depiction of Page and Plant I have ever seen. Here is my advice, for what it may be worth: 1. Listen to what you like. Don't like it because someone else said you should, but don't dislike it for the same reason. 2. Be open to new stuff. 3. Feel free to accept or reject whatever comes your way. 4. It's all music. Sub-genres just give a guideline into what to expect. The lines blur everywhere. 5. What band to start with depends on the band's output as well as your own interests and tastes. Genesis may work, but 80s Genesis is different from 70s Genesis. Same for Yes, King Crimson, and countless others. 6. Explore a variety of bands and sub-genres.. Don't expect them all to sound the same. 7. Don't take notes, but listen. Most people respond to music emotionally rather than intellectually. Don't turn it into a school assignment (unless that's how you roll). 8. Once you get the taste, then you can start to think more consciously about it and explore the field even more. Don't turn your mind off completely; assume you will get the taste at some point. 9. Some knowledge of music will enhance appreciation but may have nothing to do with enjoyment. 10. Yes, watch videos, communicate with others; ask for recommendations and follow recommended links. Note to the recommenders: Don't expect others to like exactly what you like for the same reasons. An over zealous progger can easily turn a neophyte into a hater, and no one wants that. 11. Above all, enjoy what you are doing. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I'll admit that in 1972/3 and 4, there was some augmentation to the music. A good hit of acid and laying down on the couch and listening to CTTE, or Echoes, or TAAB or APP ... was an awesome experience. Nowadays ... yeah ... DE's suggestion is the best! And we don't mean just 5 minutes of it, which I think is the most important part, since nowadays, there are way too many "prog" folks that can only listen to radio cuts!

I presume the Wiki-How for enjoying sex involves putting on a little mood music like Gentle Giant, because it's "easy to get into." It also has a good beat and is easy to dance to. Just think of Mr. Smooth turning down the lights, pouring some fine brandy, and putting on "The Power and the Glory."

Before I read your post I was thinking something similar. If you start with '80's Genesis and work your way backwards the music certainly gets better. For me it was sitting around getting stoned and listening to Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot about the time Wind and Wuthering came out, so I was able to go backwards and forwards.  I just started reading the article and what he says about Genesis makes sense. I like "These songs are very special to many progressive rock fans, and soon you’ll learn to love them." or else! He should also have mentioned progstreaming and house of prog, but I'm glad he mentioned us. As a seasoned prog fan this site has been a great place to make new discoveries, explore artists I had heard about but hadn't gotten into, and of course have pointless arguments about what is and isn't prog. All in all a decent article all in all he can she can seeee... |

That's about the same for me, except that my older brothers played a lot of prog in my childhood days. But forgetting about it in my teenage years, I heard Abacab, liked it, got Duke and Live and And Then There Were Three, and then went from the Genesis back catalogue towards other prog bands like Yes, King Crimson and ELP. So a bit like the writer of the article suggested. I don't know, such a listening procedure, it might work for some. Most of us work are explorers by heart, I suppose, and one step leads to another. |

I clicked on that link and closed it within seconds, this is exactly what is prog not supposed to be, it's supposed to be progressive, fun, exciting, thus not following any specific rules, it's for people who do not want sermons or to be preached upon, it's about clever individualism a wonderful listening experience full of layers that ever keep changing with every listen, also all sense grandiosity is believed to be just silly.

Hehe, a gentler introduction than I had I suspect. I first came across Rammstein when listening to the soundtrack of Lost Highway (which also features a Bowie tune incidentally). The two Rammstein tracks on that soundtrack was Rammstein and, if I recall correctly, Heirate Mich. The Bowie track on that soundtrack was I'm Deranged, just in case you wonder. ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

1. Don't go into Genesis, Yes, or PF first. Start with heavy Zappa/Beefheart, Faust, and UZ. 2. If you listen on Vinyl, you can't choose your favourite songs. Use Spotify instead. 3. Kill anyone on sight if they mention Supertramp in their favourite artists. (also applies for ELO, Knasas or The Beatles aka The Devil's Music) 4. Mention prog in any conversation you have. Assert your dominance of the music world by bringing up highly experimental artists even by prog standards. Explain how you were hugely influenced on the RIO movement and have slowly based your life off of it. 5. ??? 6. Profit ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really...
