Yeah, also that. I mean, parts of it could be salvaged but... I mostly appreciate prog rock for how it led to prog metal. Not that I like much of that either, but a progressive influence in various metal bands has been healthy for the genre.

Never thought I'd be looking down my nose on someone on that side of the fence. Weird.

So I'm not even cool enough to be a prog nerd? Damn.

Damn. Now I have to make it my mission to change your mind. Let's see; you like female singers but probably hate Marillion. Here's the best of both. No chance you'll like this of course but just so I can range in on your tastes.
Also, I feel a thread coming on: "Get MicShazam Into Prog Rock!"

I'll check out the above track when I'm home later some time. Can't listen to music where I'm at right now.

Don't forget that I did buy a Marillion album and even ended up liking it. We had an exchange about the band some months ago. It was the Marillion.com album.

Allright, I finally got a chance to sit down and listen to this.
Aside from that cheesy sounding part that starts at 4:40, it was allright. I'm not going to rush out and buy their album, but it had it's bright spots. For a moment, I thought the singer sounded like the original singer of the metal band Helion Prime, but turns out it wasn't her.

That's what life's about, man. So you gotta get over hair metal and move on.
Just an average day for you, huh?

Okay. Glad you didn't hate it at least. I'll hit you with a few more, you might like 'em, you might not. Hard to say. But these are some of my favourites. One is prog metal (see if you can guess which)...
Pendragon - "It's Only Me" - Pure

Threshold - "The Mystery Show" - For the Journey

Marillion - "Emerald Lies" - Fugazi

Jadis - "What Kind of Reason" - Fanatic
and some classics:

Prog is so varied that only some douchebag hipster poser hater like Elph could just dismiss all of it.
All hail Prog!
(Progmetal mostly sucks though.)
