It's unfortunate you think I'm being 'mildly rude' because this is me with the safety catch ON

Okay, now I think that I understand your point, and can see what is bothering you. I'll have it in mind in my future threads, but I could wish that your criticism was written in a more friendly and constructive way.

I certainly don't understand, what you're talking about. I've been very active, yes, but "my" threads have been based on what I find interesting, and what I've presumed that other active members would find interesting. My presumptions have certainly proved to be right ones, as "my" threads have shown to get many replies and really many views, as well as thanks and other kind of appreciation - I've got good relationship to quite a lot of people, too. Besides that, I've been thinking much about appreciating Progressive Rock, and trying to contribute to the wellness of this genre. When all that is said, I must tell that I find your post here being mildly speaking rude, and this is certainly not what I've seen on PA before.

You seem to be carpet bombing these forums with an ever increasing 'scatter gun' approach to threads and polls. Some of us can't help but think you are some sort of self appointed zoo keeper to the exhibits on offer at Prog Archives? (the Primates House are ready to start throwing faeces frankly...) Have you ever posted your own conclusions based on the responses to the below? http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128406&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128319&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128308&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128241&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128185&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128145&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128121&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128115&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128016&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128015&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127996&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127978&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127947&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127944&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127899&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127887&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127876&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127835&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127824&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127803&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127779&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127768&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127757&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127750&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127717&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127708&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127706&KW= http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127673&KW= Edited by ExittheLemming - February 14 2022 at 08:24 |

It's good to see we have a match on six classic albums choices, although I like most of your other choices too, apart from Gentle Giant and VDGG, obviously.

Mea culpa Either I didnt see the UK part, or I did but then forgot due to short term memory loss. Call it the fog of covid. These are in no particular order. I forgot to include Kate Bush. ELP - Brain Salad Surgery ELP - Tarkus Yes - The Yes Album Yes - Fragile Yes - Close to the Edge Yes - 90125 Camel - The Snow Goose Genesis - A Trick of the Tail Genesis - Selling England by the Pound Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here UK - UK Allan Holdsworth - IOU Allan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue The Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky Kate Bush - The Hounds of Love King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King King Crimson - Discipline Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood I would love to include other albums: Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick Jethro Tull - Aqualung Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - The Wall Genesis - Foxtrot Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Genesis - Nursery Cryme Genesis - ABACAB King Crimson - Red King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair And yes, I am a big fan of Canadian rock and Prog: Rush, Triumph, Saga, Red Rider, Aldo Nova, etc. Thanks for pointing out the error Cristi. At least I didnt list all the albums from the band UK and struggle to come up with 20.  Im heading out for a few months. You all take care! Edited by Jaketejas - February 13 2022 at 08:28 |

I can tell you, Nogbad, that I keep on working but it's certainly a challenge - even not as much as the big Western culture.  I'm yet far from to decide whether I want to do this album a part of my rather small, exclusive collection, but it would be a very good supplement to my other RIO/Avant and Zeuhl albums.
