Flavia2112 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Okay, so this is like the "You know you're a Rush fan when" thread, but for prog bands other than Rush. This ought to be interesting. Here goes. You know you're a prog fan when...

toymaker Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I've been known to be casually dismissive of a pop song by referring to it as "one of those verse verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus chorus things." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The way you get through a long road trip is a set of lengthy prog rock songs. Tried this out one time when I went with my mom on I-15 to St. George, UT 6 years ago this month for my niece's 2nd birthday. I programmed my iPhone to play Echoes and Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd from east of Calico Ghost Town to near the California Nevada border. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
