Music Banter - The Best/Most Frustrating Argument You've Had On MusicBanter

My most frustrating argument is indelibly intertwined in the Oomph! saga.

I think you might have joined just after Don was banned... he was the most insufferable DT worshipping prog metal fan imaginable... here are some choice cuts. :D

Ahh, PF. They were influential alright, but again...Who cares? It's not as if we know how different rock music would be today without them. Maybe it would be better. Compared with the music of today, their art-rock is neither impressive nor interesting. I also can't stand their mainstream accessibility and their turned hard rock/album rock elements.

Never said he can't keep up with Howe, but it seems like he chooses not to for the majority of any track. How bout you read the bass tab for "The Dance of Eternity." Reading Squires tabs would be like a great bed time story.

Dumbing it down? They've made it 10^100 times more interesting than Yes could ever dream of doing. If you put on a random Yes album the response you might get from listening to it is "this is cool, it's like rock but taken to the next level, but it's like 40 years old, but whatever, it's classic." And contrasted with listened to a DT album: "They've taken old-school prog to the next level, man this is so f-ing powerful and intense."

So, what's more interesting?

Hardly ANY of you have listed any good bands. What is with all this 60/70's crap?! You can't all be 40 year-olds in here can you?

Damn I've been in prog forums too much that I didn't realise how many people liked ****, boring and simple rock. Okay here goes:
