 the FYE store closest to me has a decent selection of English and American prog.... the store manager must be a prog fan... I got my P.T. albums there...

My local Barnes and Noble has about 10 CDs, and I think half of them are Cher or Celtic Hits Vol 3 or some dumb sh*t like that. There's a Best Buy nearby, but it sometimes has even worse of selection, but I at least got Blackwater Park there.

Edit: Haha, it seems I've caused quite a stir. I did see Tarkus at FYE, so maybe they'll have more of that, and I will see how this music sounds.

MORE Edit: After hearing everyone's gasping (whinybitchesWHOSAIDTHAT) I felt compelled to listen to the few bands I listed, and so far, I'm liking Genesis and ELP, from the samples here on PA. I may need to give VdGG more of a chance though.

I have been a fan of many prog bands for a long time, and am only now getting into VDGG. I didn't like it at all before, but now I am starting to love it.

Yeah I kind of figured they were like that....weird too, considering I got into Post-Rock without any troubles or uneasiness whatsoever.

Not sure why you call it having a "negative attitude" though.  It's my opinion, and I truly cannot stand their music.  If I said anything else, I'd be lying.  I didn't say they were bad, tons of people love them, but just not my cup of tea at all.

I dont like them either.
    

wow.... I know it's all preference... but I can't see what there isn't to like about the Beatles..

I dont like them either.      me neither.......   My theory is that it's a generational thing. When I started getting into music, in the early to mid 70s, the Beatles were dead. There were too many new & interesting current bands to go backwards. Had I been a couple of years older & grown up listening to the Beatles, or a few years younger & discovered them anew in the prime "music-seeking years", then things might have been different. But for me, they were old hat from the start. [IMG]height=17 alt=Geek src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley23.gif" width=17 align=absMiddle>

We must be around the same age, but that should be a factor in being more of a Beatles fan. They are my no. 1. They were still getting major radio play at that time. They were still considered contemporary. Also, I run into many Beatles fans now that are half my age. My Father likes them, and he hates rock. I think their appeal is pretty timeless.
