King Crimson - Robert Fripp ,what an arsehole
Jethro Tull - Ian Anderson is too bald
Rush - Just a wimpy version of Dream Theater

Whoever said that and actually meant it needs to be smacked hard in the face and beaten up. I'm sorry but if you bash Prog on ProgArchives, you have no place here.

I think Pink Floyd is sooooo overrated. Along with later Rush, I dislike (later)Rush highly.

I second this statement. I too never understood the fuss around bands like Anglagard, Paatos or Sinkadus. Their music is soulless and cold, and most of the time these bands sound alike. There are a few exceptions like Pain of Salvation, that can bring as well a dark mood to their music as a bright one, and play it with a high energy or ACT, which I love because of their connection to bands like Saga and Queen.

Listen to Kaipa, kids

or Even The Flower Kings and now Pain of Salvation

overrated :
- Marillion, in the eighties this was a very important band we were happy bands like them and Pallas, Pendragon & IQ were all there was. The great bands of the seventies fell apart (ELP) or became too commercial (Genesis,King Crimson, Yes) I was happy some bands still played some decent stuff but after all this wasn't always top quality
- Dream Theater : only a couple of albums are really good
- Spocks Beard : I listened to most of their back catalogue after reading reviews and it didn't live up to my expectations
- Vandeplas - just a DT clone

You'd be amazed what one can do with a cello. I have seen Frank Wolff of the "Frankfurter Kur Orchester" (which I think is prog!) go mad on stage with his cello, running around while playing, imitating Jimi Hendrix, playing the Cello behind his back. Absolutely amazing. |
Dear BaldJean,
It would have been fun to meet:
a) I lived in Frankfurt for 5 years - not the prettiest city, but some great art and nightlife; now I'm in Colorado where the days are beautiful, but the evenings rather quiet
b) I LOVE your picture - you're very cool looking
Do you live in Frankfurt? Does Batschkapp still exist? Plastique? I also went to an interesting place called Blaue Engel once - does that still exist?
Tschuss!

Finally chiming in here:
Robert Fripp and later King Crimson
Starcastle
ELP
All Italian prog bands (why so praised? I love Banco and PFM myself,
but I probably couldn't tell the difference between them if there
weren't different names on the album covers)
Ayreon

Cellos nonsense   , wow it's one of my fav instruments. But of course, you're entitled to your opinion.

Well, ok, maybe that the fact that my abusive mother made me study cello under the Suziki method contributed to my cellophobia.
