Punkers Hate Us More...Look

It's childish territorial squabbling of the kind that does no one any good whatsoever.   You're like Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters chiding Liverpool fans, like badminton players spitting on golfers, like PC freaks dissing Mac heads, like Swedes denigrating Norwegians, like Piper flyers looking down their noses att Cessna pilots, like Ferarri tifosi laughing at McLaren followers... In short, you're just being incredibly childish.   And what does it say about you that you feel the need to justify yourself to people you obviously consider way below you? Either you don't really believe that they're that stupid and clueless, or you have some serious self-esteem issues to work through.

Wolverhampton Wanderers is the greatest football club in the world.Fact! (I'll fight anyone that doesn't agree )

It pretty much sums up what i think of Animals, meandering and pointless. And it wouldn't occur to me to call The Wall really progressive

I think I'm going to move to the punk side of the force

I hope they have some good threads about neo-punk, and maybe some nightmare theater bashing

What I REALLY find interesting is how people try to suck bands they like into their genre to feel validated.  I saw a post trying to explain why DSoTM was pop, not prog, therefore under the umbrella of acceptable music. listen to on the run and tell me thats pop...and thats my point, to these guys its not acceptable if its not pop, thats why the only prog bands they like are ones with elements of pop music...such as hawkwind.

I think DSOTM is more pop than prog.

I read the thread on the punk forum, and the post made by most prog fans seem more immature than the ones by punker... sorry, but that's what I think. The 'prog is great, punk suck' thing is kind of shameful for us... They should be the ones saying these kind of things...

I also saw they really have no arguments against prog. Really nothing to says. I guess they doesn't even knows why they hate it. They just hate them because every punkers does...

pointless?, i thought it had a great point to it, the references comparing man to animals and waters lyrics were brillant...and amazing guitar playing from gilmour...there was a lot of satire but some personal emotion involved as well...its one of floyds best...as is the wall, which is mostly a rock opera...not as prog as floyds other projects but still prog....to say floyd hasnt progressed since DSOTM is just plain stupid. =(

Well you're a VDGG apreciating guy yourself.

Well I try to keep the kiddie gloves on when I "attack" you as you are one of my favorites here.
