Ok Westie will do mi owd sausage

I find it hard to imagine anyone listening to that stuff by choice. I managed about 10 mins but had to force myself. Apart from it being a cacophony most of the time, the thing I really hate is the distortion (feedback?) you get with many of the keyboard and electric guitar sounds. I just can’t see how anyone finds that pleasing. If your Hi-Fi produces distortion, it’s an absolute “must sort it” issue. And yet folk have brought that into music. I just don’t get it al tall. I can hear the complexity and realise lots is going on, but to me it just descends into distorted chaos. But then I really don't like rock music of any kind, so prog isn’t really an exception.

I think I’ve nailed why I hate it though. Distortion to my brain is just “wrong”. I guess it’s like some stinky cheeses: Are they gourmet delicacies or do they just smell like a dirty body part? As long as both parties leave room for the other side to enjoy or abstain it’s all good.
