I saw the last episode of The Mighty Boosh the other week, damn, it was my kind of comedy, I wish I'd seen them all now.

I'm trying to stay on topic...

Oh yes, Marc Almond of Soft Cell listened to Van der Graaf Generator in his youth I believe.  I know that sounds unlikely..., but it's mentioned in the The Book (the VdGG book - The Book!).

Im pretty sure he is.

Anyone who hasnt seen School Of Rock should watch it, theres one scene where Jacks character hands out albums to his little bandmates for inspirtation, he gives his Keyboard player a copy of Fragile and tells him that the keyboards on Roundabout will blow him away, later in the movie when the band have their big concert, the kid can be seen donning a sparkling gold cloak, an obvious tribute to Rick Wakeman.

Indeed, I saw that film Christmas Day with the family.

It's a shame I don't like Tenacious D though, a terrible band!  Jack Black is annoying too.

Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) is a fan of Genesis, Jethro Tull, Yes and Pink Floyd.

Ozzy Osbourne made a cover of 21st century schizoid man, so I think he likes King Crimson

Morgan (Bluvertigo) too is a Crimson fan

Sergio Cammariere (Italian singer) likes Genesis

Flavio Oreglio (Italian comedian) likes Genesis, Jethro Tull, Yes and others

I doubt Mr. Trousersnake understands Fantomas though, or Mike Patton, he's probably dillusional, I cannot imagine for one moment, that'd he like anything so technical and odd.

I'm sort of assuming that by "Trousersnake" you mean "Timberlake", and in which case: Why wouldn't he be able understand Fantomas? I like Genesis, but I don't go about making symphonic prog, nor do I play anything in the more punk vein, nor hip-hop, though all of these are things I listen to, I mention this because I'm assuming that you only know Timberlake through his work, and not the guy behind it(Although, if he's a talented artist, the gap between the two won't be far).
