Lately I've been seeing a lot of Roxy Music. Not that they're bad, but what are they doing on this site? Can we get Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark or Thomas Dolby or Big Country? I would hope not because those groups are not really "prog". So why is Roxy Mediocre Music getting so much air these days?
As for bands that should get univers zero time, how about removing lame nonprog "noise" bands like... - Henry Cowpie
- Godbarf! You Black Emperor
- Matching Molasses
- Univers Zero
- Oysterchowderhead
- Caravan
- Magma
Let me apologize up front if this offends some fans of these groups. I don't intend to attack you for liking this "music", but I really despise this stuff. When I log on to Aural Moon, I want some relief from the noise of the day. I think if there is something on the playlist that a majority of AM's loyal listeners find offensive, we should remove it from the list or restrict its playing to 4 to 10am Pacific Time (or some equally ungodly hour). |
None of the bands you mention are likely to be removed from Aural Moon anytime in the near future. Sorry you don't like them, but many listeners do. There are 2 factors that determine what plays on Aural Moon and what doesn't. Number 1 is what I think is prog. Number 2 is listener comment. I've added and deleted songs and bands based on listener comment, but in those cases I was more on the fence then I am on any of the bands you list. If I am sure a band is or isn't prog, it doesn't matter how many people chime in for or against. If I'm on the fence, then the listeners decide. All the bands you listed that you don't like are definitely prog in my opinion, so they stay. Hope that doesn't offend...
