Prog Britannia - Album Reviews

Psychedelic Paul, thank you for making that comment about my being sweeter than an English Rose. I once heard someone say, “Bloom where you’re planted.” Meaning, I think, even if you wish to be elsewhere, flourish where you are. And that said, I think you certainly flourished on Prog Archives. You spread your seeds of Progish enthusiasm which took hold, at least for a time, creating a bouquet of reviews and blogs. The scent was oh, so sweet. And I believe you’re already blooming on your new Prog Britannia Channel on YouTube. Soon it will be like a garden full of
Flowers, each named after a Prog band. All can come, listen and enjoy without the possibility of weeds choking them and inhibiting their growth. We all know you, Paul, so there’s no need to go by other aliases. I’m glad to know you.
As to what Alabama is known for in respect to flowers, We have Bush Roses and the Alabama 🌺 Azalea is the most recognizable flower in the area. But there is a flower named after Col. John S. Mosby, a Confederate Battalion Commander in the American Civil War. It’s simply called The Col. Mosby. Sometimes it seems there’s a bit of a war going on here on Prog Archives, but, I’m a lover (of Prog) not a fighter. And there’s a flower called the hyacinth, which grows well in my state. The name makes me think of a TV show in Psychedelic Paul’s native land, called “Are You Being Served.” The lead character is named Hyacinth. She’s kind of feisty, much like someone else on Prog Archives. Well, enough about flowers. Let’s talk about music, that’s why we’re here, right? A resounding YES!   Just like Paul’s latest review. Hello, Paul, where ever you are! FloydianPinkRose, your number one fan!

Understood, and bye. I genuinely wish you well in your post Prog Archives endeavours. At least this time we know why you are leaving and won't worry that it's COVID related.

^ I wasn't saying it took me four hours just to find the videos. It took me four hours in total, including three hours writing the long Yes albums intro and then about one hour finding the videos.

In a shocking development the attention whore isnt leaving.

I wouldn't completely rule out writing any further album reviews, but for the time being, most of my time is going to be taken up with building up my new Prog Britannia music channel on YouTube. In the meantime, you have 131 previous album reviews to peruse at your leisure, although I should skip the first ten as I was only a rookie reviewer at that time and I still had a lot to learn about writing album reviews. Thank heaven - and earth! It came as quite a serious shock to me that you had done what you had been threatening to do: gain the keys and ascend from prog archives! I am very glad to see you will stay on to do your reviews.  I will still try to contribute to this thread - reviewing albums turns out to be quite a fun hobby, as it means I can appreciate the albums more and help other people who might want to buy them. Though you have made a lot of reviews here on overlooked bands and albums, something that needed to be done, you seemed to have forgotten or not wished to review the bigger bands (unless I haven't looked far back in this thread to see them) - and so I am going to write a review on Wish You Were Here, in my opinion a masterpiece - or indeed the masterpiece - of the brilliant combination of psychedelic and progressive rock music practised by the classic 70s bands of Brittania.

^ I can confirm that Floydian Pink Rose is very much real as I've just been chatting with her on Skype.

^ It seems ironic that you're implying I have a fake name and address if you're not prepared to give your real name and be upfront about your own location.
