A collegue of mine...

[PH]

There's a collegue of mine who listens to U2.
I recently gave him a cd full of Metal Gear Solid soundtracks plus Kino and Dream Theater (Octavarium).
But I doubt he'll like it. (He already stated he doesn't like Losers' Day Parade of Kino).

Of course I told him about Arena and gave him the site progarchives.com to stream some songs. But he still didn't like it!

My question is: how are we going to convert him to the Prog scene?



(He liked Kayleigh of Marillion though...)

Any help appreciated, lol.

[Appelmoes??]

Easy... Start with early Arena (it sounds a bit like marillion) and then more and more Arena. He should be converted in no time

Hmm... I don't know... I said he liked Kayleigh. Not Marillion.
Maybe I'll have to convert him to Marillion first.

Start with Marillion and Genesis and alike, later on he will be advanced enough to get him to a higher level

Good idea!

(But I won't say "higher level". Genesis is already the highest level)

I suggest strap him/her to some sort of electic chair and continuosly play every single arena album to him over and over again.  If he even flinch's give him a bit of a blast (about 500 volts should do it)
