Billy is my new pet nickname for Frowny's snarky, pretentious, "I know more than you, and this is why you're wrong" persona.

Feel free to adopt it for your own use.

Correct.

I do draw the line at sports team hats and jerseys though. I really don't like getting into small talk about sports stats or certain players. I like the teams that I like but I am not ready to throw down on a conversation about the history of the team and their stats. I can admit I am a casual sports fan.

It's like you've only joined in October 2016. Most members call that guy Frownland.

Jethro Tull are the very definition of progressive rock on albums like Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play, and Minstrel in the Gallery.

Ja, the long suites are definitely proggish, but I don't really consider that to be enough.

I actually have a hard time labeling The Moody Blues as a progessive rock band. They definitely had their moments but used a traditional pop/rock song format more often than not.

It's almost like anyone who was using a mellotron back in the early 70s immediately got the prog label attached to them.

i own quite a few jerseys, some of teams i don't even support. if you have a nice looking kit i'll probably buy it just because i like wearing them, even if you're a ****e team.

Honestly I only really listen to Days of Future Past, but I definitely consider it prog.
