I hate to classify one genre of music as my favorite, I just listen to bands I like. However, it seems that most of the bands I like fall into one genre: progressive Rock, and it's sub-genres. My sister told me about this band when she was still in high school back in '03. So I automatically disliked them without ever listening to them! Never thought my lil sis had great music taste, of course I have been stuck in the nineties forever, and no new band could be that great. I'm an obsessive Tool fan, by the way.

So about a month ago I was watching a video on you tube and it had this great song in it. Sounded a little like Rush. I looked it up, exited to add a new band to my list. I am very picky about the music I like. Anyway, I found out it was "welcome home" by C&C. :( Crap! Aren't they gay EMO.

I downloaded their this album anyway. First listen... they're ok, not emo though. Hard classify them...just like all the other bands I like. Most of the bands I listen to take a few listens to fully appreciate their genius. So listen after listen they just kept growing on me.

I hate to say it but there is at least one good, great, "new" band. Coheed are genius. "Progressive" rock for the new generation. It's such a shame that they were lumped into the EMO category because of the time they released their albums. I think progressive rock means unclassifiably SIC!
