Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

What, only 8 f**king albums? Never heard of that radio programme but here we go:
King Crimson - Red
Yes - Close to the Edge
Genesis - Foxtrot
Supertramp - Paris
Marillion - Script for a jester's tear
Camel - A Live Record
Barclay James Harvest - Live
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Solar Fire
And the book "War with the Newts" by Karel Capek, and a drum kit.
I am kicking myself for not choosing any Beatles album, but they are in 'prog related' and I want to stick here to the 'full prog' genre.

Add in Live from Montreux and Symphonic, and I'm over eight. I also really like the Ladder, although not in my top eight. Drama, not so much, although the Blake imagery in Machine Messiah really spins my wheels.

My Musical Survival Rating, or MSR, is a 9.5 |
Just wondering. Am I allowed to bring a CD player? Some people will need a turntable.
