Ok, fine, if you guys want to actually talk to the "lolcow" himself, here I am.
Hopefully this turd's never listened to ELP, The Alan Parsons Project, Dream Theater, and Peter Gabriel era Genesis.
Haven't listened to ELP, Alan Parsons or Genesis (or at least a lot). I DID however listen to quite a lot of Dream Theater back in the day when my hatred of Barney didn't seem to dominate my mind. When it did, I immediately stopped listening to them when I realized how the band's keyboardist, Jordan Rudess, had tweeted a PMV (Pony Music Video) called Ponyvarium (based off of Octavarium).
Similar cases are why I stopped listening to Opeth, Ayreon and Devin Townsend.
Peter Gabriel-era Genesis
Ooh, now we're stepping into some harsh territory here. I know Peter Gabriel as the lead singer of Genesis who wore a flower suit at his concerts and played the flute.
This also happens to bear an eerie coincidence to an actual scene from an episode of MLP where Rainbow Dash has a nightmare about "unbearably cute" singing sunflowers that played flute solos.
To top it off, they were singing a song that had the same melody as "I Love You" from Barney. (Yeah, I know it's actually "This Old Man", but goddamn.)
I really didn't know how to react to this scene when I first saw it. I'm not even sure if I can even make a permanent opinion on it, mainly because it's just so puzzling to me, and my opinion will just switch randomly. I really don't know what to think about it.
Perhaps watching it DID kind of make me less reluctant towards looking at MLP shit, mainly because I wanted to see how other people reacted to this scene. It did get me to listen to Sunn O)))'s Black One (as a means of recovery), which actually seems really comforting in comparison.
I can't really feel as angry right now as I did before, actually. Right now, every time I feel angry, it just feels ingenuine or like I'm forcing it out. Of course, this could change, but right now, I'm trying to distract myself so I can avoid having to think about it. And trust me, after seeing those sunflowers, who wouldn't?
