Fucking rock on Trollheart!

I'm quite serious guys. I was as surprised as anyone to find that I didn't hate this. I kept waiting, waiting for the thing that was gonna reach out and rip my throat out and, you know, it never came. I was just awestruck, so much so that I wondered was I listening to the right album, but yeah, it seems to have been. This is the link I used by the way...

I'm sort of thinking maybe I've progressed to the point where I'm able to listen to, or at least endure, anything. Some stuff bores me of course, some stuff makes me laugh and some stuff grates on me, but I'm unsure that I've yet come across anything that can actually repulse me. That's NOT a challenge by the way: I'm sure there's plenty of death-jazz-punk-grindcore-hiphop albums out there that would send me screaming. But I listened to Marduk and thought that was ok, so whether I'm just getting more accepting in my old old age, or learning to appreciate different music (disclaimer: this does not include grindcore) I don't know. If it truly was supposed to blow me apart then I'm proud to say it didn't. I honestly thought you were all just making it seem more horrible than it was, just to scare me.

Anyway Batty, now that I've withstood the worst you can throw at me, how about YOU try a spell in MY dungeon huh? I can think of some prog albums that would have you crying for your momma!

Prog makes me cry for nothing, it just puts me in a catatonic stupor of boredom. Do your worst.

If you can survive that, I don't think the Beach Boys will be much of a challenge.

Loves me some Glen, and although I've never heard that particular song, it does hit close to home for me right now.

One of my favorites:

Good lord, you're at the bottom end of this? Sounds like about where Urban is with his Doctor Who thread.

You mean the top 100? Yeah I know. I could have been further along if I'd only concentrated on those albums and not done Metal Month II, but I didn't want to alienate anyone from my journal who wasn't into prog, so I had to do other stuff too. Just think of me as this guy

though older, of course!

I may take my time getting there, but I always get there and the journey is usually worth it.

Speaking of slow progress, ahem, Voyager? Tappity-tappity-tap....

Actually I meant that you must be in the sewage of prog rock.

Spot f'ing on.
