(I love that in the last segment there's a bass in the background.)

Re: The Prog Tolerance Level Poll

Yeah, I learned that, too, once. If you edit a poll after someone has voted, it resets everything. Do as I did at the time (if only in my head): blame Kory. Hey I wasn't suggesting the poll be changed, since there was already a "Someone else (drop 'em into the comments)" option. I was just mucking ...

Re: WWK's Rough Guide to Music

@oliver what are your thoughts on Years of Refusal? I find myself listening to this one a lot these days. I like the loud brashness of it and the late Jerry Finn's production is booming. Also, while he doesn't play on the album - it still features songwriting from Alain. It's easily the best of the...

Re: The Mighty America's Finest News Source Thread

Okay, a minor bit of amusement before our inky black future: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/nov/14/onion-info-wars-alex-jones In another post on Bluesky, Collins said that “part of the reason we did bought [sic] InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars...

Re: The Prog Tolerance Level Poll

I guess early Kraftwerk also fits the definition. Along with the whole Krautrock clique. Yeah, I would consider Krautrock included as well. To me, "prog" is a wide-reaching umbrella term, under which fits all the bands we've discussed with their own subgenre: space-rock, Canterbury, etc. Yeah, I le...

Re: The Prog Tolerance Level Poll

I think with Floyd, they were at times prog, but that description is too limiting. I dunno, I think aside from "intricate musicianship" and "unconventional time signatures," that description is pretty spot-on for them if you take into account their entire discography. Even Yes or ELP didn't always ...

How about Pink Floyd?
Yeah, was wondering the same.

Also Genesis is awful as is everything it ever spawned.
I'm torn on Floyd. I think they had prog elements, but I don't (personally) consider them prog rock.
Sounds like we need a working definition of prog rock for this thread.

Re: Things you learned through the Clash

Does anyone else think Paul is just funnin’ us by saying nobody ever pointed a telescope at the sun? Where did we get pictures of the sun, then, Paul? Joe wrote those lyrics, so what it means could be anyone's guess. In the Rat Patrol version, there's also a line about how nobody ever pointed a gun...

Re: movies

Watching Albert Brooks: Defending My Life right now. Utterly delightful. Brooks and Meathead, friends for sixty years, sitting in an empty restaurant talking about Brooks' career, mixed with clips. It's a celebration, plain and simple. I liked it too. I hope Criterion does versions of the remaining...

Re: The Future of the Republican Party

While doing some reading for my next wee writing project, I came across one of the more inane list pieces I've ever seen: the 50 greatest conservative rock songs of all time. https://www.nationalreview.com/2006/06/rockin-right-john-j-miller/ Spoilers: The Clash show up! This guy is stupid as fuck.

I need more than three options, I like most of these bands and more (including the unforgivably absent Van der Graaf Generator).

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread

I have literally never heard of any of these artists. White Rabbit to publish book focused on influence of SOPHIE, Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange), FKA Twigs, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Earl Sweatshirt https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/white-rabbit-to-publish-book-focused-on-influence-of-sophie-de...
