Nick, any band that can turn the repulsive theme of a mother fetish towards prostitutes into a wonderful pop song like `Mama' deserves respect for that alone!

I know!! Hey. Good job. A lot of people don't know that MAMA is essentially about a prostitute. Good work my friend.
Anything done by the tragically hip, our lady peace, oasis, Radiohead(except Karma Police :) ) and just about anything GRUNGE. Oh the barenaked ladies. You could kill me with that one!! f**king horrible.
I get think of any progressive music that really drives me up the wall. Obviously there are things I massively dislike, but to cringe is to irk and feel horribly annoyed and those bands I listed really can do that to me.
Oh Micheal Bolton. That's another!!! Not prog I know.

Nothing can last
there are no second chances.
Never give a day away.
Always live for today.
Floyd's Another Brick In the Wall invariably has my toes curling in embarrassment - it still sounds like a pathetic whinge by a band who's Daimler is forever double parked outside a seat of learning accessible to only the great and the good. Architecture students/public schoolboys railing against the establishment anyone? (nah, ditto Python)

Although I love progressive rock music as a whole, There are always gonna be the one or even two tracks off an LP you think "Why could they not have left this one off",
But,
Was this not the nature of artists at the time...
To throw a curve ball at you, To mess with the braincells...
Back in the 60s, Think of "Cream's Disraeli Gears" album, What on earth were they thinking, Ruining one of the best "Psychedelic Rock" albums ever!, with that rubbish "Mothers Lament"
Thank god they had the forethought to tack it on the end of the LP,
Or "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" from "the Beatles Abbey Road" LP,
Completely spoils the flow of the album....
You can go on and on throughout the 60s & 70s Progressive & Psychedelic genres
But you have to think this was the way wanted it as artists to be heard,
And isn't that why we LOVE them so much....

A strange viewpoint, for as somebody who was a good, obedient student in school, I could easily relate to the lyrics of that song when I heard it for the first time in, ironically, my last year in college. Who says good students loved their teachers and hence couldn't possibly have a bad thing to say about them? I know I hated mine, most of them anyway. This song summed up what I would have loved to say to the most obnoxious of the bunch, but couldn't. And it IS a fantasy in the overall concept too, Pink never actually hits out at his teachers.
