What if Prog was one of Us

Ten things that people that don't understand prog say:

1. (Nine minutes into the song) "This is the SAME song?!"
2. "I didn't know that a band could dedicate a whole album to fairies & dragons."
3. "It wouldn't kill them to put in a guitar here or there."
4. "Sounds like Rush & Genesis mated and had a child that should be locked in the attic it's whole life."
5. "Why is he dressed up like a flower? (or lizard, or fox, or...)"
6. "The keyboard sounds like a chicken being strangled a wind tunnel."
7. "When The Beatles wrote 'Sgt Pepper's' I don't think they meant to spawn this."
8. "(Seventeen minutes into song) "This STILL the same song?!"
9. "A Sex Pistols song! A Sex Pistols song! My kingdom for a Sex Pistol's song!"
10. "Sounds like those piano lessons came in handy for something."


This month's grocery store song is "One of Us" by Joan Osborne. As i understand, Joan is primarily a blues singer but this was an attempt by her record label to make her more marketable. Not an awful song, but does fit in well with the crashing of metal shoppings carts being stacked.
