The Battle Between Prog Rock and Real Life

I wonder, how can any music lover not appreciate prog rock? And how can that same music lover not eventually get tired of it?

Sure, it's mind-blowing when you're 15 and listening to ELP, Rush, or Yes for the first time. Maybe you even dabble in Aphrodite's Child or UK. But as you grow, you evolve, man. If you're into solos, go listen to jazz. And if you want to hear an instrument played to perfection, that's what classical music is for.
