Am I the only one who imagines how much funnier many thread titles here would be if "Prog" was changed to "Frog"?
 
For April Fool's, someone needs to make a mock FrogArchives front page, with reviews of various species, a list of 100 most popular frogs and various genre tabs (Archaeobatrachia, Mesobatrachia, Neobatrachia etc), a blog entry about whether toads should be included on the site etc and replace the real one with it for a few hours.

Heh...half the time I read it as "Frog" anyway, so I'm not sure as I'd notice.....

Signals is their least campiest album and probably the one Rush album I listen to most. The only other one I listen to just as much is Hemispheres mostly for La Villa

I noticed a few days ago that it's really not that hard to headbang to Meshuggah.  Thomas Haake almost always drums in an even time signature like 4/4, while the guitars do something radical like 25/16 or something, and both eventually meet up after a couple of measures.  You can headbang to the drums pretty easily and still end up following the rhythm of the guitars.

There.  That's my random prog thought of the day Rawks

It would be interesting to have a topic about songs that talk about music, songs, instruments, etc...

Tried Haken- it's a decent album but I guarantee it won't be atop the list come the end of '10. It's too familiar and a bit overcooked.

If this is what you like, give a look to Wigwam and the great Pekka Pohjola.

I love it, it hit me like a brick wall and blew me away completely. Whether it has lasting appeal however is something different entirely...
