Yes, but what about wizard rock? ;)

[glenatron.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know wizard rock existed.

It would be fair to say that I've yet to be impressed by Battle Metal.

I think I concur on Prog rock. Jethro Tull were the most boring thing I had ever seen at the Acoustic Festival. And bear in mind that I'd seen Donovan the day before, and Peter Tork (one of the Monkees, now a shrivelled man who looks like a cycling acountant in his fifties) the day after.

The thing about Tull is that "Heavy Horses" is about heavy horses, who get very little celebration in song and for all it's rubbishness I do rather love it. Aside from that they suck balls.

The annoying thing is that they are almost amazing. I can imagine exactly how a band could be like they are but be playing different songs in a slightly different way and be absolutely breathtaking. From time to time they have moments that reveal how that might sound but then they have to jump across five time signatures, do some musically complex and unlistenable prog rock bollocks and ruin it all again.

Actually I think maybe if Tull were brilliant instead of rubbish they wouldn't be far off being The Godwits.

Me neither!!!

Lies. It is well documented in The Big Book of Fibs Crump Has Made Up that you delight in the navel-gazings of Rock Wankman (Rick Wakeman) and the worst leavings Tull have flopped out!

Ahem.

So yeah, Tull has moments. I quite like Songs From the Wood (the song, not the album), and Heavy Horses.. well, it amused me, so I can see why it'd amuse you. Jethro Tull used to live in a pub which was owned by his parents down the road from my mum in London years ago (random factoid).

I do not like Prog Rock.

I also dislike Ska.

[glenatron.livejournal.com]

Ska, very much the poor man's skiffle.

He was never prog, much more folk. I like a lot of folk, but there are times when it strayed dangerously towards prog territory in the seventies...

[sleepsy-mouse.livejournal.com]

Then could you please stop listening to it?

[kittyfantastico.livejournal.com]

lol

[glenatron.livejournal.com]

It's not prog it's folk from the slighly more misguided edge of the seventies.

Although I acknowledge that Rick Wakeman was on some of those tracks

[sleepsy-mouse.livejournal.com]

Yes dear

[spoon-doom.livejournal.com]

I like Rush.
And I'm not afraid to admit that.
