Maybe they simply enjoyed listening to, and playing, music with
unconventional time signatures. Maybe they were bored stiff with 4/4.

Who actually came up with this definition of complex music being
Pretentious?
Some rock critic who simply couldnt play it?
Makes sense to me.
Theres nothing wrong, in my opinion, with complex, or even "overly-complex"
music, just like theres nothing wrong with simple or even "overly-simple"
music. Its just music, to me.

Re: To the morons who said Yes were not rock

A "genuine" rock music critic to me, should be a rock musician with some
sort of professional experience.
That opinion pisses a lot of people off, especially those with no said
experience.
And guess what... I really dont care.

I loved them a lot in the 1970s. Saw them repeatedly from 1977
through 1989. Never since.
Owned most of their albums on LP, including Anderson's and Squire's
solo albums and quite a few by Wakeman.

At this point, I prefer the bootlegs with the instrumental jamming stuff.
The problem with Zep after even 1975, is that Plant wont shut the hell up,
even during the instrumentals.
I still like his singing on some of their stuff. On a lot of it, I dont.

VanHalen wrote all kinds of great rock songs, in my opinion.

Yeah, sure. How convincing. You dont hate him but then you insult him with
a horrible word.
Personally, I dont find Emerson anymore of a musical show off than Wakeman.
Or Howe. Or Holdsworth. Or any of those guys.
Partly, they all played like that, because they could.

Some should probably avoid tea;-)
Though you can overdose on alcohol to the point of death, it's not
really ever been shown that anyone has "overdosed" on LSD. In any

All good points. It does annoy me that the US and other countries

hundreds of thousands of Nazi war criminals. Only a few hundred were
ever tried and punished. What a sham.

Incredible as it may seem, Elvis tried to ingratiated himself with
Nixon . . . . I can't recall the exact words, but IMO Elvis tried to
convince Nixon that the Beatles were unwholesome foreignors. IMO
Elvis was j e a l o u s and felt threatened by the Beatles' success.
