1) If you could pick only 1 song for the rest of your life, which one would it be?
2) If you could pick only 1 band for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

1) Fiery Gun Hand
2) Cardiacs Seriously I have over 1600 albums on CD and I can't tally up the bands that compromises. One simply does not have to or even want to do that.  But let's think again about the logic of the question. I you could only pick one song for the rest of your life, wouldn't the band have to be the ones that made the song???

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

logically it's the complete opposite as you would have access to all the bands songs ( I presume)

2) Tangerine Dream. In part because they’ve been very varied over nearly 50 years and have somewhere over 150 albums - many of them quite good
.1) Ricochet. As it’s an album length piece with many different sounds. |

1) Franz Schubert - String Quartet n. 14 (Der Tod und das Mädchen) yeah
its quite lenghty and contains all that I love in music. Intensity,
brains, emotion, beauty light and dark etc... - in bundles 2) its got to be some jazz for sure. Seems I never need breaks or grow tired of: Mal Waldron... -but I don't trust myself and probably change my mind tomorrow to Can, Magma, Miles, Schostavovich... |

1) Transatlantic - The Whirlwind, because it lasts 74 minutes so I won't be repeating a 3 minutes song. 2) I could say Rick Wakeman because has a lot of albums, but all the newage stuff is quite boring. I also need some real drums sometimes, so it can't be Tangerine Dream. A good ratio between number of releases and quality seems to be YES, even if the last album is very poor. I will miss Zeuhl, but I couldn't listen to Magma only for a lifetime...

Has Green Desert passed you by? And Electronic Meditation which would make a bit of a contrast with the synth albums .

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Can you imagine how tired you'd get of that song, whatever it is? |

Sure, Klaus Schulze is a drummer, but having to choose one band only for the rest of the Times a couple of albums in about 200 is not very much. YES have a bit of everything.

If you're stuck with one song for eternity then memorizing 30000 words seems more of a challenge than hearing a regular tune forever |
