Which do you prefer, Fire Garden or Passion and Warfare?

Passion and Warfare. But Fire Garden gets better every play, and the track "Fire Garden Suite" is better than anything on Passion and Warfare.

Back in the early 90's, when I first started delving deep into prog, almost no one I knew liked my Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, and Gentle Giant albums.  I could only listen to them alone, in my car.  My roommates couldn't stand most of it, my friends didn't want to hear it. 

What I've realized over the years is that prog as a whole is a niche genre.  It has a lot of fans, but it has even more people who don't like it, or don't know what it is but wouldn't like it if they heard it.  We are the fringe, though I think it's easy to forget when you spend all your time talking to people who listen to (somewhat) similar music to oneself. 

So I try my best to keep an open mind.  I've pretty much stopped using words like "hate" and 'sucks" and "crap" when it comes to music, instead using "doesn't appeal to me" or "does nothing for me" (or when I REALLY don't like something I use "bores me to tears").

Because it's pretty much guaranteed that something I dislike, someone else will consider the greatest music ever created.  And vice versa.

I guess I don't hate all atheists, just the arrogant, obnoxious ones that think they know everything. The ones that preach as much as zealots and think they're simply better human beings than those 'ignorant', 'pathetic', 'stupid' religious freaks. 

I don't believe in any of it on either side. I like questions more than answers. I'm certainly no theist, but calling myself an atheist hurts my heart. 

Passion and Warfare gets me every time. I love the guy's playfulness and how fluidly it blends with his seriousness. I'll have to listen to the Fire Garden suite, soon, though.

I like Asia (the group :D), and I'm pretty sure you hate them.
