PDQ Bach is still alive.
But since the music Larreeeeee posted was The Well Tempered Clavier then JS Bach was the Bach he was talking about.

I'm sure if Bach wasn't a flap of 328 year old skin stretched across a metal frame,
He'd be a rapper

I can Iive without rock, but I can't live without Prog-rock. Bands that sound like the stones, the animals, Harlequin and Bryan Adams I can live without. It's been done and I don't need any more of it.
My vote is i could care a less. Glad it's a dying breed. Remember folks, too much of anything is not good for you except prog of course.

I disagree. Everything gets boring if you listen to it all the time. I can hardly listen to most of the music I used to listen to. And I still love it, but I can't listen to most of it. I put a Yes album on, or ELP, or even some old Genesis, and I am bored stiff in minutes. I can spin most of this stuff in my head without playing the discs or tapes. So if "rock" is dead, so is prog. It's all dead.

... continuing...
The cool thing about this site is that I am getting turned on to newer music that I have never heard, and older music that I missed when it was new. Especially the Italian stuff. And no matter how old it may be, it is still fresh if you've never heard it before.

That's why I try hard not to over-listen to anything, to keep it fresh, no matter how much I like it.

I find it funny you mention Harlequin, seeing as afaik they are barely even known in their home land of Canada. Unless there are more than one Harlequins, in which case, nevermind

Exactly. That's why I am careful not to overplay Echoes. I don't want to feel tired of listening to it again and again, so maybe once a year I listen to it and enjoy it as much, if not more, as I did the first time I heard it. I didn't listen to DSOTM at all for two years and when I did again a few months back, loved it all over again.

Nope. That's the one!! You got it. Yeah. I just feel harlequin are such a typical sounding classic rock band. I used them as an example to represent my point. Paying homage.

Ya man. I see your point and totally understand how you can feel that way. Although, I am at a point in my life where I can't imagine any of my favourites that I love so dearly, getting stale or boring for that matter. I guess age may have something to do with that. I've been an avid listener of music since I was 17 years old and I'm now 32, so I'm still quite young. Thus it makes me wonder if I will still adore genesis, dream theater and Saviour machine when I'm say...60? I might be naive to say, yeah I think I will!!!

I love this cite. It's my bible for prog Info. I've discoverd so many prog-metal bands here that I love still today.
Also, I think the forums are great. Lots of knowledgable, smart and nice people on PA. You feel part of a family after a while. Actually, for the longest time I would just read what was on the site and never consider becoming a member. I don't know why I waited so long.
