bathory Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Prog rock, like all genres of Rock music has pretentious aspects. And Gabriel-era Genesis has it in spades. I like Genesis and when I watch a video of Peter Gabriel prancing around the stage dressed as a flower and talking nonsense, I call it out. The music is still good, but the overall package is pretentious. I feel the same way about Glam rock, Punk rock, New Wave, Hair Metal... the list goes on. Also, I think a lot of Prog rock is too "intellectual" and "complicated" for its own good. Oh yeah, I do think some of Bob Dylan's lyrics are pretentious and overboard on wordplay. It's a device he uses far too much, especially on a lot of his early material (John Lennon parodied it quite well on his home recordings). As for Lou Reed, well, sometimes he can simply be a prick. If I'm going to call out the likes of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus, I'm going to call out Peter Gabriel and David Bowie, too. I just don't think that we as listeners can really say whether an artist is pretentious or not. but as long as you're fair about it and willing to call out everyone, I'm fine with your use of the word. it just seems like most people only use the term to describe prog rock, only because someone else called it pretentious and then someone else did and then someone else did until it just became rock n roll law. I definitely think prog can be up its own ass and overly complicated, I still wouldn't call it pretentious. I hear a shitty dream theater record and I don't doubt their sincerity one bit - they are being sincerely shitty. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've been listening to all MK versions of Genesis for two weeks. I can't get enough.I think this band is better than Rush. Phil has a bad back and tendonitis. Neil has chronic tendonitis. It's so sad but that's life!! I think the Genesis Canon is better than the Rush Canon. Hell I think "Calling All Stations" is a fuckking masterpiece. "Cockwork Anals" is not. Love, The "DUKE" Of Earl It's okay to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fuckking with you all. Van Halen is better than Genesis. Rush is better than every band on the planet. Although "Testicle For Your Echo" and "Vapor Ass Snail Trails" are two of the worst records ever made! "YOU'RE NO SON YOU'RE NO SON OF MINE!"

RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm a retard. I know nothing about music. I'm as stupid as stupid gets. Progressive rock is something I know nothing about. My wife is leaving me because I know nothing about Rush.She is leaving me because I don't know anything about a band named Rush. Rush is just a term to me. Moving fast. Snorting cocaine and laying down naked staring into a starry lake.I love shooting cocaine into my veins when I listen to Hemispheres backwards. I am The Sphere. I am one with myself even though the song was played at my wedding 19 years ago.I know know nothing about Rush.From Genesis To Revelations blows the first Rush album away.John Rutsey is a loser. Neil is a total overrated drummer. Keith Moon is better.Neil can't swing.Dave Weckl is better. Simon Phillips is the best. Danny Carey is the only drummer on the planet who could replace Neil.I know nothing. "The Musical Box" is a shitty song. Genesis has no talent. Peter Gabriel is useless like Phil. Geddy Lee is a better keyboard player than Tony Banks. I'm smoking crack while on mushrooms. LSD stands for LET STEVE HACKETT DIE. Minus the H. H is for Hogarth. I hate that son of a bitch. Arrogant, self absorbed piece of shit. I met him once. I have the right to type that. PRICK! Marillion sucks too. 7 inches of shit music like Genesis. Useless copy cat prog. The only band to love is RUSH! RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH!! Brainwashed zombies! RUSH!!! THE WALKING DEADTHE TALKING DEADTHE LISTENING DEAD!! RUSH MUSIC!! ALL OTHER MUSIC IS SHITE! DO DRUGS!! FUKK EVERTHING THAT WALKS! LISTEN TO RUSH! LOVE DOES NOT EXIST! DO MORE DRUGS! LISTEN TO RUSH! iPhone Zombies? iPhone Rush Fanatics. Listen to "Limelight" as you walk into a telephone pole. How more creative can I get at this hour? I can't! I'm drinking water. You assholes who label me a drunk and a drug addict can piss off. I majored in English.I love to write. Think what you must. Label me what you must. My real friends on here know me. That's what counts. Signed, "I KNOW WHAT I LIKE AND I LIKE WHAT I KNOW" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
