Punkers Hate Us More...Look

Call it country prog then? Just like:
- Dolly Parton (Jolene)
- Kenny Rogers (Ruby, don't take your love to town)
- Johnny Cash (Ring of fire)
- John Denver (Calypso).
And some of them aren't longer than 3 minutes, so it must also be...

I defenitely don't like country music, but there are some exceptions. The same can be said about punk.

Until now I didn't notice any punks reacting on the progarchives (lucky for us...). There are actually some prog fans who did react on the punk77 site...

In the Netherlands they're called "punkers"... we don't have the word "punks"

I'm all for you defending Punk. I myself like a fair bit of punk eg Rancid, Dropkick Murphys. But I'd rather you didn't insult other bands in doing so.

agreed.

If something is not very coherent, notify me, I will change the redaction... The main idea of this post is: "If some punks are silly enough to post things like the link above, we should have proven them no progheads would be silly enough to reply". It's too late, I think. Whatever. Yes, I feel offended by what those punks said. Although I don't listen to punk too much, I think I am open-minded enough to respect it for what it is. And I expect the same from them. But the point is "Should I waste my time and energy replying to such posts?". The answer is no. And if I feel offended by the topic linked to above, I don't feel less ashamed for what people like "Prog and nothin else" post.

yea, prog and nothin else was certainly taking the wrong approach, his username alone gives prog fans a bad name.

LOL, I remember that argument. Sorry to answer you after so many days, but I've been out due to familiar problems, but I'm back to make your life miserable whenever you try to add Bjork to the Archives. 

Good to see you here Boo Boo, hope your musical taste is better than a few months ago .

BTW, why people keep bashing punk...if you don't like them, just ignore them.

There is too much prog' to talk about and plenty other genres some of us like more, why waste your time writing about a genre  you don't like????

well im still a bjork fan, hope that dosent make me a vunerable target.

I just dont get why were divided on so many issues.  To say that punks are closeminded can in some cases be true.  However, rather than immediately bash their website, lets look at our own.  How many of us continuously bash those 'closeminded' DT fans.  Or the prog-metal genre as a whole. (Don't mean to get all philosophical, but let he without sin cast the first stone.)  Lets just all agree on one thing; at least we listen to music.  We should all rally around the destruction of rap.

Then claim it was our superior intellect that destroyed it.
