Does that mean you'll stop listening to Miles Davis? I thought not!

Initially, I based that statement on the fact that my 21-year old niece has heard of them, and the only other prog she likes is Porcupine Tree (another wildly popular act).

This unscientific polling does work. At a family get together my sister puts on Dream Theater, and my mother says "How boring, it's dull, doesn't go anywhere". However, I was able to play the first Stone Temple Pilots CD without complaint.

Of course, having a moniker like "jam band' (welcomed or not), does help.
