Now that's something I would pay a fair amount of cash to see.

That's nearly as bad as my brother-in-law's joke about his wife.

If you think that’s bad, you should hear your brother-in-law’s wife’s joke about her brother.(not necessarily quite the familial relationship I am going for).

non-prog can mean a lot of things, I don't know where to start LOL Blues, blues-rock, hard rock, AOR, metal, extreme metal, pop/pop-rock, the little bit of jazz I've enjoyed so far? I'm over-thinking this. LOL

I have a soft spot for Keane too. A really good band, who could have been great. Tom Chaplin is an excellent singer. Their melodies and well placed key changes are the cornerstone of their compositions.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
