Aren't you a Henry Cow fan? They were all about sticking it to "the man."

I've done it before. Took me a good month or so, but I've done it.

Yeah I'm a Henry Cow fan but I don't think "the man" they were sticking it to was Peter Hammill. Maybe it was... Who knows?

Yeah, there is no way I'd finish in one night, I have seen a run that was under 3 hours though, which was insane. I can get the master sword pretty quickly, which is a start I guess.

He was. I've asked Fred Frith myself. They were in a contest between who could sell the least amount of records.

Hammill probably won that... He also probably won the number of albums released

^ I'm sorry, I'm really not a Frith solo fan and it seemed like Hammill released the most albums you could possibly come up with ![LOL LOL](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif)

Frith has been on over 400 recordings, or so says Wikipedia. I'm not a Hammill fan, so I don't really know how many albums he has, but 400 is a huge number.

I don't know how someone could, with bands like Tangerine Dream, as soon as you buy an album they release more.

The annoying thing is I like a lot of the stuff bands like that release. ![Cry Cry](smileys/smiley19.gif) ![LOL LOL](smileys/smiley36.gif) How do they make so much good music?

^ I don't know, RIO bands seem better at it probably because they're not afraid to try everything they think of

Yeah, it seems like bands that aren't afraid to improvise release more quality material than bands that make more orchestrated music. It certainly takes less time to sit down and do whatever you want than it does to write new music and then practice it.

Roine Stolt is certainly one of my favorite "modern" prog guys.

A lot of my favorite bands were good at both, come to think of it. I guess I would call Pink Floyd good at both writing long structured songs (although not complex) and their early improvised jams are just as compelling.

Granted, that's assuming it's a band that is actually good at improvising.
