Got it. Have read some of your reviews. I just think it's all the same, since it's all just opinion.

He didn't like Tame Impala's "instrumental wankery", something I wasn't expecting from a prog fanatic.

Well, yes, but what I mean is that in a "proper" review I can put forward the reasons why I like or don't like an album, what it makes me feel like, what the lyrics are (or what I think they are) and so on. In a short "Christmas note" like these I can't do that. Mind you, if anyone wants me to do a proper review after Christmas I'll consider it. Maybe.

I don't like Dream Theater either. Or ELP. Just because you're a fan of prog doesn't necessarily mean you want to listen to twenty minutes of pointless noodling that goes nowhere and does nothing but shout "Look how good I am on my instrument! Aren't I clever?" I have no time for that, in any genre, but prog rock is the very worst offender by a country mile.

He doesn't seem to like much seventies prog either. I guess he's a prog-lite fan.

Ahem. Genesis. VDGG. Rush. Supertramp. Hawkwind. I like a lot of 70s prog, just not all of it. I did get into prog via Marillion and Genesis, but I listen to plenty of seventies prog. "Hemispheres" and "2112" are great albums. As is all of Genesis's pre-"Abacab" catalogue. And Steve Hackett.

Didn't you say you didn't like 70's Genesis?

Never. 70s Genesis is my favourite era: "Trick of the Tail", "Trespass", "Foxtrot", "Wind and wuthering", all stellar albums. Plus my very first ever Genesis album (and first ever post in my original journal) was "Seconds out", which is a double-live from the 70s.

You may be thinking of Yes, yes?

Yeah that's what I was curious about.

Oh well nobody's perfect.
