Floyd's stint at space rock is still some of my favorite moments of the style.

Agreed - them and Hawkwind's brief era with Lemmy are my highlights of the early days of the style.

I didn't mean for my initial post to come across so insulting, by the way. I love prog (mostly the art-rock strains) but it is generally an incredibly self-indulgent/pompous form of music. That's part of its appeal, really.

It's a bit hypocritical to complain about repetition or simplicity (there is a big distinction between them despite the fact they often overlap) and then praise Pinky Floyd; never heard 'Echoes'?

As of late I find lush, minimal, textured, repetitive swells and drones more 'eargasmic' than bombastic ADD infused complexity. But hey, opinions.

All that stuff about electronic music and hip-hop though, pulling no punches, is just plain ignorant.

I am very, very extremely picky with hip-hop. I pretty much dislike 90% of it. There's something about rapping most of the time that's very unappealing and a good mulch of it needs to have some form of cursing or any other miscellaneous suggestive content which is a massive turn-off.

Electronic music is far too vague to pinpoint anything out. Love some of it, dislike others.

I'm quite indifferent to reggae, then again I never really had bothered too much with the genre.

Day. Made.

This is not a lie, sadly.

Aside from that, there's so much more awful stuff going on in this post that I don't know where to start.

i agree with this, that's why for the most part i am taking aspirin and trying to just ignore it, that and everyone else seems to have summed it up nicely

Be a normal person and bottle your feelings until you eventually explode.

4/4 can be a chill bro
