My wife and I have similar tastes in music. Similar but not exact. She has a far greater collection of classical CDs and prefers not to listen to anything loud and obnoxious. So I play Black Sabbath when she's not around.

I could've assumed you weren't referring to the historical era. Also I'm pretty sure that Annie didn't actually write any of the music

Women tend to like Pink Floyd far more than other prog rock for some reason. I've always felt that Floyd doesn't fit in perfectly with the whole "prog rock" thing. Their music has pretty simple structure, and is driven mainly by emotion |
well Pink Floyd is kinde of a huuuuuuge band, not only are they a top tier prog band....they are among the top greats of rock and british invation as well. Pink Floyd is as much a common house-hold name as vacume cleaner or re-frigerator are/is, they sold 200 million records . its huuuuuge, they are not only BIG but are like SUPER BIG

Hey, not all of us have been here since 2008 |
Even a cursory search would reveal many, many pages of posts on this subject that you could read instead of making a new thread. Some things should not be discussed anymore.

Prog doesn't have enough "romance" in it for most woman. I think the time signature shifts are a dischord for them and the "long winded noodling" is a turn off. I've never meet a woman who likes prog.

'Prog toilet syndrome'. I sometimes wish I was female when I'm at a concert and bursting for a pee  Prog rock is geeky and there are lot more male geeks than female geeks.I bet its the same with other geeky things such as sci-fi and ermm.. trainspotting

I think that it has often been a man's genre, but also that many women are becoming aware of it and appreciating it more. I did put on "Foxtrot" so that my sisters and mom could hear it, so that they would at least know there was a Genesis before "Invisible Touch."

Well, one thing I have to say. I find it very strange that there aren't many women in this site. I think that it's a man's genre. Someday I hope meeting a girl who will listen to prog rock (and extreme prog metal ). It's difficult in Greece.

That takes the fun out of it. Can't we find a logical solution? What's the point of debating factual evidence? Either more guys like prog than girls or more girls like prog than guys. Why? Well, it's a trillion reasons. We can speculate all we want, but until we find out through cold, hard, psychological study and fact, this will end up being dick joke central.
Which brings me to my thesis statement: What did the penis say to the mailman? Hey, pal, how can you get aHEAD around here?
Get it? He's living in a residential area where he can send and receive postage! Har har!
So yes, why do more men like Genesis than women? Why do more men prefer 1984 over Interview with a Vampire? Who is a better writer, Anne Rice or George Orwell? Who the better songwriter, Tom Waits or Carole King? It's an opinion, there. It'll be sociological, genetic, psychological, circumstantial, emotional, and a big chain. Its a big chain, it's a grim and whip dim ganglyroo. Vim and bandersnatch for you, yon vorpal sword with golden hue, can cut with wring wrought snapping, true, and slice the bandersnatch in two. Hello my honey, hell my darlin', hello my ragtime gal! |
Nobody's expecting a definitive answer with universal agreement to come out of a thread like this. I was just hoping for some interesting opinions.

I think it has to do with the manly subjects of the songs, like shining flying purple wolfhounds and stuff.
