<< Well, this might come as a big surprise to you, but a lot of prog fans
 actually listen to other stuff... they're not as narrow as some may think
 *smirk* Anyway, you'll find many prog fans like blues and "regular rock"
 (whatever that means). >>

Well, it seems to me to be only natural that progressive rock fans would
enjoy many styles of music, for musical eclecticism is one of the hallmarks
of progressive rock--the fusing of many different styles into a musical whole
that is hopefully greater than the sum of its parts.

I also think it's interesting, after following these threads for a week, to
see how incredibly varied the listening tastes of BOC-L people are--I guess
that knocks the theory that BOC-L fans have narrow musical tastes pretty much
on its head...and that was the contention that triggered all of these threads
anyway, if I remember right....
