Sweet! Isn't it great? I just can't take it out of my CD player. Every song is so great and over-the-top that's hard to pick a fave. I think my favorite moment on the album is the last half of "Slave to Money". It gets me every time.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It's probably quicker to list what I don't like. (see Bands you just can't stand thread).

Yup, you were right, MusicForSpeedin, I like Finnish bands.
I thought it was odd you didn't mention Kingston Wall due to the Von Hertzen Brothers. I actually prefer Kingston Wall...very amazing.

Changes very, very often. For Prog, my favourite band is Van der Graaf Generator, closely followed by Gentle Giant. Univers Zéro and Etron Fou Leloublan are competing for third place.

My favourite non-Prog band is probably At the Drive-In.

Off the top of my head Caravan, Zappa, Porcupine Tree, Renaissance, Gentle Giant, Echolyn, Transatlantic, King Crimson, Yes. Among others.

Though there were plenty of other amazing bands that only got to release an album or two.
