State The Most Outrageous Musical Opinion Possible

It has been known by being Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms to many for years, kind of a classical music slogan,  the most important composers whose names start with B-I love Brahms, but Bruckner is more groundbreaking as a symphonist, imo. How's it going with your Bruckner listening, Ric?   Thanks for reminding me Doug, just looking forward to listen to another symphony of him, which one would you suggest me ?

The 3rd, conducted by Hans Knappertsbusch.(or maybe Carl Schuricht) Bruckner is firing on all six cylinders with that symphony, one of his most dramatic and exciting, but also with a moving adagio.

The Beatles are not Prog !

Music is not music, but simply an illusion of pattern created by our brains out of a cacophony of sounds, with a prediction and pleasure reflex attached to it as well.

Also, real music is Ambiance; the music of nature, because nature, is all knowing.

I'd like to point out that drummer Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru stated on the back cover of "Mani und seine Freunde": "dedicated to my little friends the birds whom I consider to be the real professional musicians" (translated by me from the original German)

Ian Anderson is at best, a busker in tights that got lucky
If Jon Anderson had ever been a busker, he'd be the only one with a roadie

"We Can't Dance" represents the epitome of musical output for the band Genesis.  

Jumbling up the letters in their wretched name gives you: A Retard Theme or The Reamed Rat which is a damn sight more fun that actually listening to Dream Theater,
