You deepest, darkest Prog secrets.

I met Stella Vander and it was one of those moments... we made eye contact over the desert table at the VIP reception..  we locked eyes and I know for me.. and surely for her... my head swam in thought of passionate lovemaking and general mayhem as I was sucked into her by those eyes.. her beauty....  then I looked over and saw Raff sitting at our table unceromonously stuffed a piece of food into her mouth and remembered just how much I loved that woman... so I broke eye contact and saved not only my marriage.. but Magma so the rest of you could enjoy their later concerts and save Christian from the heartbreak of having his wife leave him for some young hot and very sexy American knuckledragger.... true story.. top that.. hah... Micky: A True American Hero. From the bottom of our hearts, we humble neighbours of the north salute you.

Not necessarily because it's a poor album (I think it still deserves every bit of the 5 star rating I gave it), but I've just been finding so much more music (within the King Crimson catalogue and otherwise) that I enjoy more on a regular basis. Halloween is coming up, though, which means a back-to-back listening of Black Sabbath and Court. And after all, the less often you listen to the classics, the fresher and more fulfilling they sound when you finally get around to listening to them.  But I'm sure I'll be in the cold, cold ground before I start to find Close To The Edge stale.

I wouldn't say I find it stale, just seem to be in the mood for hard and heavy rock more these days....

Maybe now, not to a 14 year old

Trespass and Foxtrot to me are the only really good Gabriel Genesis albums :)

I was a huge fan in my teens, Powerage & Highway To Hell were my favorites. I saw the FTATRWSY tour, it was excellent, but I'll put BiB just ahead. I always had a soft spot for Brian Johnson as he's from my hometown, Newcastle.

I have been getting into Motorhead and AC/DC myself lately.  I am just starting to understand what was great about Bon Scott.  My policy is one of no guilt.  Your listening is your pleasure and no one else's.  That said, people are often surprised that I like, say, both Kiss and Chet Atkins.  Confuses the living daylights out of them when I play them back to back.  The missus won't let me play the Residents when she is in the house, which is unfortunate but I really can't blame her.  She does not share my propensity for the absurd.

For the ACDC fans
