Andddd wow big response there, I mean I'm really just not too big into the stylistic choices that normally come with prog. A lil masturbatory, y'know? Not just elp. I'm allowed to dislike prog without being ignorant. I don't doubt people like cobain were into it, and probably a bunch of other artists I like.

Altho I do love can so if you're counting that then I guess I do like some prog.

P.s. - not huge on punk either

I get this, and I'm a fan of prog. However, I feel the same way about Fionna Apple and Joanna Newsom, who you're a big fan of. Sometimes, artists write stuff that sounds like they're all about showing off how awesome they are or whatnot, but I think that in the end, most of them are really just trying to have fun. As a guitarist, I tend to assume it's the latter.

And if it is masturbatory, y'know, it's not necessarily a bad thing anyway ;)

I can definitely agree with you here, or else it'd be really hard to enjoy everything

and yeah, not necessarily a bad thing at all 😉

You sound like an NME writer circa 1990's who perpetuated that kind of myth due to coming of age in the punk era. However it is a myth. Just like on TV whenever prog is mentioned cue the most wig out music of ELP over picture of rick wakeman in cloak with 30 synths in a 360, the the 3 ELP trucks driving over the desert. This is what a lot think about prog and it is wrong. Famously Kurt cobains favourite lp was red by king crimson and one of Lydons favourite bands was van der GraaF generator. So even 2 of the biggest names in punk loved prog. Also anyone who likes Krautrock, it's prog. Especially can.

bruh, LP*

Yeah, prog is in my least favorites too, with some exceptions. I can't think of any genre I dislike uniformly, but symphonic prog is one of those where even the classics tend to get my goat. Also, new wave, hair metal, mainstream country (if that counts), and nu metal.

Some favorites:

Dub
Neo-soul
Outlaw country
Post-bop
Cool jazz
Psychedelic rock

All genres are hit-or-miss, of course.

Contemporary Country is a mess, yeah; but sometimes there's artists to sneak through the cracks that get played on places like GAC and CMT that are worth hearing (Union Station, for example). That said the bulk of country-pop I dig is from the 20th century for the most part though a lot of alternative scenes in the modern makeup has interested me a lot from time to time.

Most genres have rubbish or something of worth but what passes for mainstream country nowadays is horrific. Also most of if not all of the current popular rap stuff, anyone with a prefix of lil or kanye etc. Its one area of music I feel a very old listening to it as I cant relate or find anything worthy or redeeming In it.

Excuse me, but
A. I don't see any Current 93 or other neofolk on your chart.
B. Crunkcore was a genre with great promise that was cut short by autistic flame-baiting and the rise of industrial hip-hop. Don't diss it.

Can't say I agree that it had great promise, though admittedly I've heard only a handful of musicians who attempted the style. Honestly, I think crunk as a watered-down variant of dirty south isn't very enjoyable for me so there was no hope when people were adding quasi post-hardcore aspects as well as novelty comedy qualities. I never found songs with substance in the style, but again I never liked crunk in the first place.

Though, not a fan of industrial hip-hop either.

But yeah, given what I heard to my tastes; I'll diss it plenty, what I've heard sounds horrible.

This is the problem with so many genres; people interpret the genres differently and therefore may grant different music different genres. It's too far.
