I would say that in general, I like my music to be, to use perhaps a catch-all word, palatable. I like to enjoy what I'm listening to. People may love - and I'm sure they do - listening to Zappa growling out his grocery list or Beefheart banging dustbin lids together for a half hour, and more power to them. I don't. It's not that I don't feel that sort of music has no merit. I know it does, it just isn't for me.
Psychedelic I can take or leave. I mean, Hawkwind is pretty psych isn't it? But yeah, undertaking to write the history of prog rock does of course mean I'll be coming up against a lot of music I don't like. You've seen my review of Magma's first album, I presume?
