Familiarity breeds contempt... the only solo PC song that I actually detest is Sussudio. Wretched.

As for an actual prog band that's Genesis' We Cant Dance... the horror
Sjå, my first album in 25+ years is out now: https://jeffjahn.bandcamp.com/album/sj   I am told its quite original

true, I just meant the title track. I have that album though I left it at my parents lake home along with Soundgarden's Down on the upside so that's all Id have to listen to when I drove their old jeep grand cherokee around when visiting, which was always like a trip back into time anyways.

*Fun random fact, my GF's creative writing teacher in HS was Kim Thayil's mom.

I thought so, but was still not sure. The song is called (after all) "I Can't Dance".

Lol my mind just doesnt want to go to that dark place... I have full audio/visual recall so whenever I see that title a little clip of the music video plays.   All that said that song is by no means the worst thing Ive ever heard and doesnt make my top 10 list of most hated songs ever. Im not gonna list them because then I get to experience that personal hell. Instead Im gonna think about the Lamb Lies down on Broadway (live from the 1974/75 movie)

Ooh Ooh Baby (Call from the Dark) by Magma. It's the only Magma track that I regularly skip - when I reviewed the album for PA I referred to it as an ill judged stab at Zeuhl euro disco. With the benefit of hindsight I was being generous.

Merci is pretty terrible, unlistenable album.

I disagree. It has Eliphas Levi, which is awesome and it's around 11 min of the album. And I think Otis is fun and funky. But it is admittedly different than a lot of their work. It definitely has a couple "meh" tracks, I'll admit.

Just my opinion. I don't like the album.

To each their own.

I really like Merci, even the Ooh ooh baby "Call From the Dark" song (I do prefer the Offering "Love in the Darkness" version) which makes me smile. I think "Elephas Levi" excellent, and find "The Night We Died" beautiful (like it better live, still). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJN1Xe7dNfE
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
