Which is the girl´s favourite prog band?

I seriously doubt that there is a 'brand' of prog-rock 'made for a woman' (ie like deoderants etc) just as there is not a brand of prog rock made for the guys. I guess the other question would be 'why do threads like this tend to show up on prog rock sites?' It's because male prog rock rock fans tend to be clueless when it comes to women and are looking for answers which they can't find in real life -- especially the socially inept ones (and let's face it, such communities attract the socially inept/ inexperienced) that spend their time on message boards rather than out there in the "real world".

I'll be the first to admit my ineptitude.

The only overlap in musical tastes with my girl is Santana and not all Santana of course.

You know what almost caused my wife to yank it out of the car player and fling it out the window: Philip Glass - Music With Changing Parts.  I was not playing it to annoy her though.

That's just because Lizzy singed up to PA

Thanks Jim Your girls are nice, too... What prog do they like?

Hey, do you know any all female prog band? I ve though about that, but it will be interesting...

I just realized, the title asks which is "the girl's" favourite prog band. The way it's said sounds like he's referring to females as some sort of animal.

Wow, I would almost consider this a sexist remark. My girlfriend hates Collins era Genesis, she thinks it's sh*t just like we do. Women aren't stupid and they don't just like sappy ballads 'n sh*t. i would say that just as many, if not more men like what we consider to be poor music over women.

My girlfriend listens to the following prog bands:

Isis
OSI
Opeth
Mars Volta
Rush
Nightwish
Jethro Tull (her favorite being Heavy Horses)
Klaatu
Tiles
Mastodon
3 (the modern one)
Coheed & Cambria
Porcuoine Tree + Steven Wilson
Radiohead (from Kid A onwards)
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Pink Floyd + Syd Barrett Solo
Traffic
The Decemberists

So I'm actually quite offended by the ignorance in the OP.



Come on prog people... this is why over half of you have never been with a woman.

I concur.
