" I woke up in vomit and beer,
in a banana bin,
with a soft lass with brown skin,
who bore me seven babies with snappin' black eyes
and beautiful ebony skin.
And here is I with you my daughter,
thirty years, awake and make a seamans eyes, a brown house man's eyes, flow out water, salt water"
 
Captain Beefheart "Orange Claw Hammer"

"Täglich fit mit zwei Gramm Sh*t". Translation: "Keep in shape with two grams of sh*t (hashish) daily". Guru Guru - Der Elektrolurch
Two quotes from the same song (in fact the first and the last sentence of it):
"Existence is a stage through which we pass".
"In the death of mere humans life shall start". VdGG - Childlike Faith in Childhood's End.

"Ils se sont rencontrés dans un cabaret dans l'air
Situé central dans la technosphere
55AH a cherché de l'amour artificiel
le bordel cosmique lui a donné une demoiselle"

Solefald-Omnipolis
Wondrous tune, wondrous lyrics.

And as a non-prog addition:
"in a bar that's always closing
in a world where people shout
I don't want to talk this over
I don't want to talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
isn't that what friends are for?
pain looks great on other people
that's what they're for"

Sisters of Mercy-I Was Wrong
The Sisters kick.

I should also mention, now that the who are on the archives

"MEET the new boss, Same as the old boss"


Actually, The Who aren't on the Archives. 
Doesn't really matter The Who are a great band, and that's a great quote.


I didn't say they weren't. 
My bad, I thought you may have been refering to em as not good or something. sorry peace

The Who quotes-Cut my hair: "Zoot suit, White jacket with side vents, five inches long
I'm out on the street again and I'm leaping along
Dressed right for a beach fight, but I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling, is still here in my brain"
 
Pure and Easy: "There once was a note, pure and easy, Playing so free like a breath rippling by"
 
Sea And Sand:"My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet"

"I was thinking about thinking but it really didn't get me very far" - Peter Hammill

"I just want you to know this time" - Riverside

"I am always using the cue sheets, but never the nets never the nets nevertheless Welcome back to the circus" - Marillion's Cinderella Search

"What if the sky is seared with death/what is the point in catching breath/expel it" - Mr Hammill again

I wonder how your pick your quote - by the way it is written or by the way it is sung?
yet you still have time!

LOL  It's amazing, now that I think about it, that I recognized this from the very first 'cha'.  Whenever this comes out of my stereo, it turns heads.  People think I'm insane.  I just smile and say, 'that's Yes.'

But personally I like:

'SICK feeling, SICK reasoning, SICK! Challenge you, la-la-la-la.' - probably a little-known quote from Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe ('The Order of the Universe).

'Burn their children's laughter! On to hell!' - Yes' 'Gates of Delirium'

'Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed.' - Opeth's 'Deliverance'

There are so many... I should probably stop or I'll just keep typing all day.
Check out the Unsigned Bands section!
