    Re: Progressive sound...life style ?

    [quote"Digital junkie"]I almost wince at the thought of going out to a bar/club anymore if I know that I'm going to be forced to listen to radio drivel.[/quote]

    I know that feeling. The missus doesn?t share my taste, i?m sure she gets pissed off when i expain in great detail why the DJ was focking shit and that is not how to mix to two records. I,e slamming it over from one R&B to the next.

    I do have a life however, and i couldn?t say that prog ranked highly in my life. Good music is important, but life is more than prog.

      Most people come from other genres (EG trance etc), and when they were into them, said the same as most of you above....that it was better then anything else.

      I will say what ever style of music I like, it is my life. I'll admit I used to like trance, before that rock etc....each moment was the most influencing thing of my life at the time. And I can't say I'll sit in prog for ever either. Hell I may end up liking batty house or something?

      The word 'better' EG My music is 'better' then your, or theirs, is a very interesting choise of words. You can't push politics on someone, you can't push religion on someone and you can't push music on someone either.

      Better in your mind probably equals shit in their mind (especially if they like RnB).

      Live and let be (especially turning your car stereos @ lights -- Only making you look stupid).

      Hope the above hasn't been a waste of time.

        ....When I roll up to a stoplight, I'll sometimes turn my system up until other cars shake just so they know how much their music sucks (I think most people usually don't understand what I'm trying to say, though)

        HEEEELL YEAH! I love it, I do the same thing. Cause you know that theyve never heard anything like what your playing. Ive only had like 2 people yell out their window to ask what im listening to and where to get it(2 thats sad). But hey, people are afraid of everything these days lol. Nobody even wants to look at you when your at a stoplight.

        As for prog & my life...It used to be all I was able to listen to. I used to be closed minded about my music. (not sayin anyone here is) And I would not give any other genre a chance. And then I thought about it, and came to conclusion that im no better than my friends who talk shit to me about my music. So I would hear some stuff i liked from my friends, then go d/l the album, and found out its not so bad..after all, it's all music. The main reason we are all here baby. LOVE lol, oh and PLUR!!!

            I love all music! However only Progressive gives me goose bumps when listening. My friends and co-workers think I'm nuts.

            When I retire all I am going to do is spin my old vinyl and CDs and say to people "remember this tune!"

                  Ditto! I love prog too - but not being able to enjoy a night out because prog isn't playing is just plain sad! What ever happened to enjoying a good night out socialising with mates - you can enjoy that whatever music is being played, just as long as it doesn't drown out the conversation.

                    Yeah, I've had one person at a gas station ask me for the CD out of my cd player, and a youth pastor on a 5-hour plane ride ask me for a few cds. They got what they wanted, but most people don't want shit to do with it.

                          it IS a way of life. IMO
                          Agreed, I never shut it out. I listen to it all the time. From time I get up in the morning to the time I got bed. I never shut it off. I even listen to prog to go to sleep to. I love prog. Music is the top priority in life. Well maybe besides work. If I could just figure out a way to get music and work combined together. I would be the happiest person.

                            I don't think I understand your statement... however pro house has been my selection for the past year or so. When i drive its always either progressive or some type of house. When i walk around on campus I have my Ipod and listen to sweet tunes. I'm progressing through life by listening to progressive.

                                Although I love it so much, I have 'mellowed' out a lot recently, and have a much more open mind when it comes to music. i.e. I used to get really annoyed and moody when I was in a bar and they would be playing commercial crap, but now I just accept it and try to have a good time. As a consequence I have enjoyed lots more music this year, which is precisely how I got into prog in the first place - because of my simple love of a good tune.

                                Some excellent commercial tracks I have enjoyed this year:

                                Gorillaz-Dare
                                Unknown-Love on my mind(?)
                                Mylo-Drop the pressure

                                But prog will always be special to me, and it makes it even better when I go to a place where prog is played i.e. bedrock@heaven
