I get your original point, but not your conclusion.

Kinda funny to see the occasional blanket statement in regards to people's enjoyment or awareness of prog. rock and whatnot ("I only like one album in the genre" "its all pretentious and boring, etc."). Progressive rock is an exceptionally vast "scene", with hundreds upon hundreds of releases from innumerable bands over the last four decades. People seem to look back on the 70's specifically when they think of the genre, but in reality there's plenty of great modern releases that might appeal to you even if you think all of it is overwrought.

None of you would like it if I wrote off your favorite Indie bands, Emo groups, hardcore bands, etc. via blanket judgements and the like. What makes you think such is acceptable in regards to progressive rock?

All this being said, SEBTP may be quintessential for your typical proghead as far as Genesis go, but I consider it overrated and even a tad weak in comparison to Trespass or Foxtrot. And this is coming from a guy who enjoys a great deal of their 80's output too.

I haven't written off Prog, I've just related my experiences with it, which are poor, but admittedly limited. If I'd written off prog, I would have opted out of this month's club. I look forwards to the day I discover a prog album that falls in line with my tastes.

They are contradictory, but I'm not sure if I can explain it better.

I always enjoyed this album and all its silliness. One of the more accessible ones from the original prog era in my opinion. Catchy too, especially those almost-cheesy (in a good way) piano and keyboard lines.

I can sort of see what you mean. An album can be uneventful and sober and portray mundane feelings without being a chore to listen to. I think slowcore is a whole genre predicated on those feelings.

Have I got the wrong idea?

Poll's up.

I think I'm going to put the Club to rest for a couple of months, perhaps opening it again in the winter when more people are at home and on the computer, and closing it during the summer months.

Thoughts about hibernating the club? If there's still interest, I won't, but participation has been steadily declining the last few sessions.

I would say once this poll comes to a close, the club deserves a break. Because it's exactly as you said, it may be easier to get more discussion going with more people and there are a lot of people going back to school soon as well.
