yes, on the basis of a high number of prog acts on his last.fm. thus, discounting prog in general.

Okay well if you mean I was dismissing his music as pretentious and thus saying he is no place to judge if I know what pretentious bull**** is, then yeah that's what I was doing. I guess I was kind of being a jerk, sorry. Anyways, this thread should go back to being about Rush, not stuff I said.

Nothing is more pretentious than punk and indie, really.

But music is pretentious in general, in fact I find art and the very idea of it to be pretentious. What's so automatically bad about being pretentious anyway?

The Clash and Thin Lizzy are legit, The Stooges are absurdly overrated (Raw Power is great but Fun House is boring) and Motley Crue are a band I'm not even gonna bother rating.

I guess you're right about music and art being pretentious in general, and nothing being automatically bad about being pretentious. I just personally dislike the music I consider pretentious.

However, punk rock is relatively unpretentious music. It's stripped-down rock and roll with simple chord structures and no lengthy guitar solos.

The Stooges are sort of overrated but only among critics and serious music fans. The vast majority of people have no idea who they are.

The only reason why their overrated, is that they were probably the first proto-punk group out there, and kind of seen as one of the true founders of the genre. I don`t think of the first three stooges albums as classic from a music perspective but I certainly do from an image and attitude perspective. For the record I like the Stooges a lot and have the first three albums, with "Fun House" the pick of the three.
