Anybody who bitches about historical accuracy in a movie like 300 is completely missing the point.

Be quiet.

I wasn't referring to anybody specifically. I just feel that anyone coming out of the movie feeling disappointed because the movie wasn't historically accurate just missed the whole point of the movie. Which is kind of ironic considering how essentially shallow it is.

Be quiet. The point for you is not the point for me.

Well, I can't blame you.

2nd through 5th album Genesis
Gentle Giant - Octopus
King Crimson - Court
Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, Godbluff and World Record
ELP - Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery
Camel - Mirage and Moon Madness
YES - Fragile, Close to the Edge, Relayer

I mean, based on these things alone it's some of the greatest music ever...

Hell fucking yes. Add Jetro Tull - Thick as a Brick/Passion Play/ Warchild. Also, I think Aquiring the Taste is GG's best album ino, but I love Octopus also.
 
Ayreon is so horribly cheesy and pompous. They don't deserve to be mentioned next to Pink Floyd.

And I generally disagree with your notion that prog rock is the best form of rock. The signal to noise ratio in prog rock is very bad. There are some great prog bands (or there used to be anyway, most neo-prog is appalling as well) but there is so much utterly horrible pretentious wankery shit outthere. Even most of the famous prog bands eventually descended into wallowing in their own semen instead of writing decent songs.

I just listened to "human equation" again and it is just amazing

very compelling instrumental work (with alot of variety) and great singing, fantastic album

"The point" of the movie is not subjective to the individual. "The point" of this movie was to show a whole lot of ass kicking craziness with a smattering of tits, not to accurately portray the battle of the 300.
 
I can tolerate the cheese when there is so much great instrumental work, emotion, and great singing (especially the female voices)

it's a rock opera man, the cheese is to be expected
 
Well if you dislike a band that others seem to adore - like me and Slayer - chances are you are going to find them overrated.

It only makes sense.
