Pompous songs

When I think of pompous bands, these guys are the very first on my list. It don't get more undeservedly pompous in my book.

why undeserved?
Because they have no reason to be pompous. They suck. :D

Slightly harsh but mostly true. IMHO, of course.

I do have an affinity for Suite Madam Blue, a couple of tunes off G. Illusion and Lady,

But by the time they got to Pieces Of Eight I started calling them Stynx.

well I think they deserve the pompous label by the time Mr Roboto rolled around - like you I prefer the earlier stuff - Equinox was the pinnacle for me - awesome album - particularly when the riff kicks in in SMB - whohoo - makes me wanna rock out! - my parents old stereo was maxed out with this riff!

 
I love Genesis <= Duke, and love the vibe in this concert but I just can't stomach watching Phil Collins walking around with no shirt pompously thinking fans will automatically like it - perhaps should be forgiven since he's also drumming, but good grief put on something to cover up those pits when ya come out front eh!
He's trying to be a Slipperman... :fearscream:
 
Like it as a song or not, you have to admit Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece of recording and music production, especially considering the technology with which it was done.
Well I suppose you could say the same about all the Queen stuff really as they were big into that at the time. I'm not sure I would agree that BR was a masterpiece in any regard though, just a nonsense load of different instrument sections with stupid lyrics. A load of rubbish masquerading as some kind of masterpiece perhaps.

I would take the much more honest we will rock you, any day over that
 

Someone needs to start a Go Fund Me and get Phil a shirt. ;)
I was talking music.. but since you posted that image, I wouldn't call that pompous I would call that being a show off!

I would also call it earning the right to be a show off lol
 
I think that this serious expression and attitude complies with the Cambridge definition of Pompous :D

"I deliberately don't listen to anyone's music at all. I don't listen to it, especially when I'm in composing mode, which is actually pretty much all the time, because every time I pick up the guitar, or even when I don't have the guitar in my hands, I compose. And I don't like to be even inadvertently influenced by anything, so I certainly don't care about what's in or what's trendy, I never did."
