You know you listen to too much prog ....

[Jaq]

When someone is talking about the first book of the Bible, you instantly assume they mean the band.

The confusion that results from talking about the differences between the Gabriel and Collins eras of Genesis generally makes that worth it, though. 

Seeing "Rush is Right" stickers on cars instantly causes you to hum either "The Spirit of Radio" or "Tom Sawyer."

Seeing the CD Yes by the band Morphine causes you to wonder when Yes put that one out and why is it filed in the Ms?

Having to realize Kansas isn't just a band, it's a state.

And Asia is also a continent. 

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

When you have to say "Yeah" in conversation because saying "Yes" will cause you to think of the band. True story.

So true!

[kári]

When all of your friends say, "What the hell are you listening too?"

And you tell them the name of the band and they say, "Who?"

... Pretty sure that happens to more people who don't listen to any prog at all...

[Vahvahenki]

When, while playing badminton, the scoreline is ( x /4 - 8 - 16) you immediately tap a rhythm in that time signature using your racket on the side of your leg. I've gotten some strange looks when people ask me what that is all about.

[obscure]

good one.... but what's it with your sig?
Megadeth might make up for it tho.

[SeventhSon]

When you're asked to count to twenty, you could to six, then five, then four, then five again.

Make no mistake, I love Rush as much as the next guy...

Yeah your right but realy, how many people have heard of prog bands and music and the crazy names.  When I tell them I listen to Spock's Beard and Porcupine Tree they look at me sideways.

[LudwigVan]

When you go out of your way to visit places like this

[slycordinator]

This didn't happen to me but I recall someone mentioning this a while back on here...

Person A: This song was written in 1916.
Person B: What? No. It's in 4/4.

[Sketchy]

When someone asks you to write something poppish for a game they're programming as a uni project, and when you go to the piano to work something out, it's in seven.

When no-one's around, you start trying to tap your foot in four and hands in five.

When you see a song's length being under five minutes and instantly think "damn, that's short"

When you deliberately play an album of a specific length based on how much time you have got before you need to go out.

...When you don't go out, because that King Crimson sounds too damn good to waste.

[Nekov]

When you deliberately play an album of a specific length based on how much time you have got before you need to go out.

  Good to see I'm not the only one

All this shit literally happens to me.

I remember someone posted a link to something a few months ago that complained that one of the problems with DT was that it's impossible to bang your head in 13/8. I remember thinking "yes you can, it's just a case of splitting the beats correctly".

Because everything can be done if you split beats correctly...

[MasterShakezula]

When you prefer to refer to the Sega Genesis as the Mega Drive for the sake of avoiding confusion between it and the real Genesis. 

Of course, this is only a problem in the US and  (maybe) Japan. 

[Ruba]

Even though I'm not really prog fan, I've been arguing with my friends that 8 minutes long song isn't long (or 10).

Bump.

I saw a porcupine in the Tallinn zoo and I wondered, why the heck there was no tree in its yard.

[King Postwhore]

When you try to catch up to a car on the highway to take a picture of their license plate that says, "DTF".

When 33% of your final grade in English Language next summer is based on or around Prog.

[Sketchy]

Or when your stepfather alerts you to the evening meal having been completed by making the music player in the room you're in play a particular Genesis song.

But yes, I've had that "...who?" a few times when extolling the virtues of some obscure outfit.

Awesome! I wish my father would do that, but he hates prog.
