If you had a time machine and travell back in time, with the mission of changing something that would change the course of prog history, were (place and year) would you go and what would you change?

Given the rise of Punk, I think someone already travelled to the past and changed something...

1976/77

I'd manipulate things so that Hacketts contribution to Genesis was held in higher regard by Banks, leading to Hackett staying in the band.

1970 - 1973

I'd get David Hentschell into produce the early Genesis albums.

I'd get TFTO by Yes condensed into a single two sided killer album. Failing that I'd break into Andersons hotel room in Tokyo and hide the 'Auto-biography of a Yogi' that inspired TFTO, and replace it with a stack of pornography and an Oliver Reed biography..

I'd convince Frank Zappa to take care of himself, and get screened for cancer much earlier.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

I'd hover round behind Derek Shulman and slap him every time he suggested to Kerry and co that they try and make a single.

Good plan! The music takes care of itself.

I would have taken with me copies of reviews of Works Vol. I, Works Vol. II, and Love Beach and posted them to Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Yes -- damnit, you CHEW that puke, Jimi!Angry

************************************

 

ErmmHmmm... maybe I'd hide all the metal bands' keyboards and old prog albums, so they'ed leave our music the F**K ALONE!Angry

Wink

 

Either that, or arrange it so I could be Mr. Kate Bush, starting back when she was young, lithe, lissome and oh-so-SEXY!

"Never mine the 'kick inside,' Katie, me dear, how's about this?"Big smile

 

Yep, Peter's gone deep in the Bush again....Pig

 

Bush fever? Bushwhacked? Wacko

September, 1970, Lakeside School, Seattle

Take up computer programming, become best friends with Bill Gates, sit on his coat tails.

1979, start a record label devoted entirely to the development and marketing of progressive music - it could even lose money for all I cared, by now I'm an executive at Microsoft and staring to make money. Maybe I could have changed the 80's music scene...

#1: Convincing the other guys about Hackett would be good, as would showing them "We can't dance". Convincing Peter to work on the Lamb with the rest of them would be good too!

#2: Keep Jackson and Banton from leaving VDGG.

#3: Keep GG from blowing it all up.

#4: Destroy whatever made Yes's various members to do what they did in the 80's. Failing that, convince Squire to make more solo albums.

#5: Make Latimer and Bardens keep working well together.

Confused So, you guys are fine with me using your time machine merely to gratify my lust for Kate Bush, and get her "up the stump" with my love child?Tongue

Maybe I'll try to push her more toward prog while I'm at it....Ermm
