Spouses & Prog

[Metman]

Hey, does your Wife get into your Progressive Itch???? Mine says ""What the Hell are you listening to now""

Don't have a wife but I have a gf. I've sent her random songs but she hasn't gone crazy over anything yet. I continue to insist I'll convert her one day though.

When I met my wife she owned 5 albums. One of them was Nursery Cryme. She's not what I would call a prog head but there are some bands she really likes - mostly classic bands like Genesis, Black Sabbath, ELP, and Yes. We are going to see Peter Gabriel in a few weeks.

I can't imagine only owning 5 albums.

I have a hard time understanding people who are only song-oriented and don't buy full albums.

I have to say
there are days when I talk to no one, since my wife, Donna, died.
all this music I bought keeps backing up, cause I am so into the silence
of everything.
Donna used to say she enjoyed the lyrics, alot more than the music;
I guess its how the sexs precieve emotion
women like it written down
guys like to soar in the heaven thru the music.

just a thought

My wife is not a huge Prog fan (she loves Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Classical & 70's music)
BUT, my girlfriend loves prog! :Smokin:

Another issue I have with my gf is that she doesn't listen to much English-language music. Mostly she enjoys her J-pop/J-rock stuff (being part Japanese as she is). So there's that hurdle to overcome. Unless something really grabs her she tends to find most English-language stuff unimpressive and samey.
