Perhaps if you told us more about what she likes, we could develop a more informed opinion...?

Lose two of the Rush songs and add some Camel. I think girls would like
Camel. The Velvet Underground and St. Elmo's Fire are nice choices.

| May I be blunt; are you simply trying to show her the best of prog, or are you hoping your choice of music will impress her such that..ahem..physical union may be the result? |

One thing I have learned is that chicks dig Can, not so much Rush. I'd also try Van Der Graaf Generator's Still Life, Peter Hammil's singing is also appealing to girls, who like singers who are "deep" and show sensitivity like Smashing Pumpkins etc. Whatever you do not and I repeat do not play her Magma or Dun, great bands but I guarantee 90% of girls don't like them.
P.S. I'd change Yes's Roundabout to Wonderous Stories simpler and more accssessible introduction. ------------- |

I'd get rid of Roundabout and replace it with I've Seen All Good People. Limelight is good, but i'd also get rid of it and throw it Genesis - I Know What I Like, or Jethro Tull - Teacher.

I do like Velvet Underground but they're not prog and it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the mix. When I do compilation CD's I usually have an artist appear only once, seems to give a comp CD more flow and diversity. There's lots out there to choose from and I agree with another post that Camel would be a good inclusion. ------------- My Doc Told Me I Have Doggie Head. |

Prog Girls are just like all the other Girls.. i just don't get them!!!! i mean, i made my girlfriend a mixed CD with more mellow prog songs (like ballads and stuff) so that i introduced her to my weird world smoothly and she was like 'oh, ok..' and a few days later she walks into my room and i was listening Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy and she was like 'what's this? this is fantastic...'
to be completely honest with you, her father used to listen to a lot of jazz and her living with him -obviously, daah..- made it love that music.. i think i'll lend her Mahavishnu Orchestra, he he.. for what it's worth, i love her even more ever since... |

Be shure that after this mix you dont get leg.
I would give you 1 star for this mix. IMO only Zappa is OK. You combine avant with pop
