Ah, gotcha. Rush, and who are the two others? An interesting concept for sure. It can, and has been butchered though. LOL I must say.

I was thinking that too. I know of a few other Canadian HP bands, but I'd hardly call them "greats."

Right around my 17th birthday.   Genesis and Gabriel were about as popular as anyone at the time. I remember I took a summer program at Davidson College during that month. Great times. That's where I first heard ELP (beyond Lucky Man, that is), and the Velvet Underground.

I love those nostalgic/ sentimental moments in your life that you can associate to a certain band or music you were really into at the time. I, of course can't fully compare of you in terms oh how many times that's happened. LOL But it's a good feeling. So I must ask, ELP or Lou Reed and Co.?

What's another one? I honestly can't think of one off the top of my head. Is there a certain similarity in terms of sound that each band mutually have that you dislike?

Warpig was the band I was thinking of. One of those obscure early 70s groups that pretty much no one knows about. Crunchy, bluesy stuff. Awesome stuff if you're into early Uriah Heep and Atomic Rooster and such.

Generation 13 is almost as good as Operation Mindcrime by Queenseyche, and the fun thing is i can hear alot of inpiration from Saga in Queensryche but it is also nice to see sort of influence is tradiong of in the other diraction as well.

I misread the title. Cool Wow, pretty cool. I kind of get a Deep Purple/ Yardbrids feel from the tune, and those bands that you stated. The guitar playing is really dirty - I like it. These guys are filed under Heavy Prog in the database? Strange, I don't hear any sort of experimentation in there really, just a nice classic Blues, Hard Rock band. You?

The whole album has a wee bit of psych experimentation in it, but I admit if these guys were under evaluation when I was a member, I would have voted no. They're pretty much a borderline case that a more inclusive instance of the team accepted.

Great, glad you do. I highly suggest obtaining, in whatever manner seems fit to you, their discography. Every Pennie is worth it, believe me, if you decide to purchase that is.

It was a month-long summer program for rising high school seniors, and my first extended stay away from home.  We took classes and lived in dorms and everything (except beer, that is, but I didn't drink yet anyway so I didn't care).  My roommate was a Lou/Velvets fan, and had some cassettes including the Velvets' White Light/White Heat album, which  I thought was one of the coolest things I'd ever heard (I was into hardcore punk mostly at the time).  All their stuff had been out of print for over 10 years, but Verve was in the process of reissuing them all on vinyl (no CDs yet), including a new set called VU which turned out to be very popular.  Anyway, after that month I went home and bought up every VU album I could find.  White Light/White Heat is still an all-time favorite for me.  I wouldn't get too heavily into ELP until about a year later, but then I went full-on into it.  

Today, I'd pick VU/Lou Reed over ELP, but "Tarkus" is my favorite album out of both bands.

When were they added, do you know? Just out of curiosity. Cool little band. My dad would like them.

I can't really associate much music with a specific time period, mainly because I'm always into so much music all at once, and because I've only been seriously into music for about five years.

Oh and Matt, if you see this. I saw Crystal Castles last weekend in Toronto. I don't know if you like them, but I thought you'd be intrigued to know. Big smile
