Prog Trading Cards

Dunno.

Yeah I know what it's worth.

I'm mainly a Canterbury/Krautrock/Psych guy and I don't listen much to the music you made cards of nowadays.

However, Genesis still hold a special place in my heart. Especially Foxtrot.

Sorry.    I don't know much about Canterbury or Krautrock (I'm still a prog baby, see). I am making new cards with Psychedelic bands (Pink Floyd is the first, though).  I want to get an Oceansize album.  What do you think of them?

No problem. I was only in symphonic prog for a long time before I dwelved into the more obscure genres. Canterbury and Krautrock aren't everybody's cup of tea anyways.

Well, Pink Floyd was certainly the first musical love of my life and I'll never turn my back on them. Lately, I don't really listen to them at all (except their early albums sometimes) but I still deeply enjoy the music.

As for Oceansize, I certainly like what I heard. I didn't hear much though. Now that you talk about it, I wonder why.

I have Anesthetize.

And I only had to give Mike The Water for it.

That's all that's changed for me lately. I know Mike and Rob picked up a couple, but you're going to have to go back through the last page or two to check. Oh, and Bern got Geddy Lee. Mike and I wanted to fight him for it.

Robert, for your review of King Crimson I now must kill you

I have listened to it very carefully several times.  I stand by my opinion of it.

It's like the Beatles to me.  Highly influential?  Sure.  Ahead of their time?  Very probably.

Do I like them?  They're okay.  King Crimson is like that.  In all honesty, if it weren't for almost ten minutes of mindless noodling, I might have considered rating it a four.

I dislike the Beatles.

I love KC though. Moonchild is also quite a good song and expanded the rules of music infinitely by questioning what you could really do with it. Like it or not, people generally forget to give that song the credit it deserves.

I've got four gold cards and three of them are bassists.  Maybe I should just collect the four-stringers. 

As you see, Alex, I want to negotiate Geddy Lee for a few key cards.

Per my agreement with Bern, one of them will have to be "Supper's Ready."  The other two or three will be for me, but I'd most likely prefer them to be from the same album.

What do you think?
