I actually don't have ten, I'm not that creative. But I do have one based on real experience:
Thieves who rifle through cars don't steal your CD's.
Not sure if this is number 10 or number 1, but it sure is true.
Anyone else care to add to the list?

Your Welcome.......for half of them...
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
See, so much more creativity than I!
I especially relate to number 8! When I first started brining my daughter to prog shows, that was one of the amazing benefits I was quick to point out. The only exception being The Musical Box shows.
I love the idea of the list of albums too...
Took me a minute, but yes, they could've been. None of that in my car!
My list might not have been exactly the same, but this is the kind of "Top 10 reasons" I was thinking of.
7. You can engage RCarlberg in endless digital / analog discussions
True. After the apocalypse there will still be cockroaches and Mr. Carlberg trying to cast his superior opinions on us.

Not so sure about this one(see above)
1) You only get interesting "music friends".
2) Only interesting gals will go to bed with you - for the music, that is.
3) You get particularly interesting ideas and perspectives on anything when drunk and listening and/or dancing to stuff like Magma and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
4) You tend to develop highly interesting manners of walk'n'talk (13/9 Kobaļļan).
5) You find interesting ways to endure eventual torture-by-audio endeavours (sorry, but Trout Mask renders all purpoted extreme metal clean pussy noise).
6) Your offspring will NEVER dare to challenge your level of interesting listening habits, thus revoking any plans of generational rebellion.
7) It makes your shrink's head spin in a truly interesting fashion.
8) You'll be able to burn off unprecedented amounts of fat when workouts take on interesting lengths as you sweat through that latest Kayo Dot triple album.
9) You impose interesting outsider's views on everyone who tries to figure out how the hell you've managed to prevail everyday's monotony.
10) You get to realize the actual valeur of all that's interesting.

this sounds like wishful thinking... or X-mas wish list

Well, there was a certain percentage of defiant irony involved.

I had some in mind that matched the list but I laughed at them all.
Gee, hadn't noticed.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
I'm flattered to be mentioned ... but I fail to understand how this is a "reason to listen to progressive music". Can't we argue analog vs digital in jazz? Classical? Electronic? I think you're just dropping names to make yourself sound cooler7. You can engage RCarlberg in endless digital / analog discussions

Because you'll never hear Magma, Samla Mammas Manna, Caravan, Gong, Nektar, Van Der Graaf Generator, or PFM in a car commercial.
There are factually only two reasons & the reasons are ELP & YES!
Because it will blow your mind.

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.
A Man Who Does Not Read Has No Appreciable Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read - Mark Twain
As soon as you play some Van der Graaf Generator, most of you friends will leave the house, which cuts down the costs of having visitors.
that's a very Dutch attitude

LOLthat's a very Dutch attitude
You can also see it as a way to see something positive in something negative. Just like the adventage of having no friends.
Because it's fun to be a fan of something that has never been properly defined.
If I had any porn discs,would be the best place to hide them on progressive cd jewel cases.
