Re:

First of all, I'm not trying to change yr mind about anything. Second, I didn't put any words in yr mouth, that other quote was from "regmac," I figured you remembered, but I guess not. I say it is the same thing: 'this sucks because I say so.' He slammed a genre, you slam a subgenre. If there's a difference, it's only in volume. The attitude is the same. 'What I like is brilliance; what I don't like, that's garbage.'

One of the biggest differences between us is that I don't talk shit about music I know little or nothing about. Ever. And while I'm sure 'serious musicians' like you probably couldn't be bothered, I listen to PLENTY of stuff I figure I won't like, or think I might but end up not liking, because I'm not afraid of knowledge or experience. I've heard few prog records I find tolerable, but I'm not afraid to listen to one, because I might learn something. Maybe you 'serious musicians' might care to wrap yr head around that concept before you spout off about stuff you know little about but see fit to judge.

Funny thing, learning about music. I was taught by 'serious musicians' for years...and ended up learning far more from people who still can't read a chart & have never taken a lesson in their lives. But hey, if you want to stay in yr room & listen to DSOTM for the rest of yr life, be my guest. It doesn't bother me, really.

Start telling me this or that about something you clearly know nothing about, and I'll have something to say about it. It wouldn't hurt you to either listen to the stuff you condemn with little knowledge, or, far more attainable, to keep yr mouth shut about it, being that you know so little.

But then I'm trying to reason with someone who thinks Roger Waters is a better writer than Dylan or Lennon. Yeah, it's too bad that there's no art in punk, because it would've been nice if there was someone out there who could manage to top a lyrical achievement like Radio K.A.O.S., huh? That sure gave Dylan a run for his money.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

As for YECH, how seriously you choose to take him is yr affair. But I have the stramgest, strongest feeling that he's heard waaaayyy more prog than you've heard punk. He's been known to attempt humor. You're dead serious.

Do you really think it's so unreasonable to think about how much you know or don't know about something before you post about it? There's nothing wrong with opinions, I daresay. But I find it difficult to formulate them on stuff I don't know anything about. And I don't think it's a coincidence that so many whose paths I've crossed, and who I've had the misfortune of having to play with or learn from, not only considered themselves 'serious' musicians but also saw no problem with passing sweeping judgments on things...including PINK FLOYD...that they simply knew nothing about.

If you think you're any different, you're sadly mistaken.
