 Topic: You gotta Chose b/n Yes, Genesis & Moody Blues
Posted: November 03 2016 at 17:31 |
But, there is a twist (of course), Aliens have landed and found the Earth amusing, particularly Prog Music and they have become fans of PA (yes there are amoung us if you hadn't worked that out) and a PA Poll will decide the fate of Prog Rock history.......But, they now plan to leave the Earth- scared that Donald might win or something... and they have decided with to use their time travel machine to go back and claim 2 of the three great Prog Groups for their own civilization changing history - because they like to do that...But, if you chose Yes or Genesis to remain in history to have existed in your selection- they will shorten the lifespan of the selected Prog Group by half but if you chose Moody Blues all there works will remain- that's only fair- so said the Aliens.So time to choose.............. and do it wisely.....

Choosing Yes or Genesis will shorten the band's lifespan by half, you say?
Well, for Genesis that either means they release 7 (or 8) out of 15 studio albums, which would leave us with FGTR through to ATTOT. Alternatively, if you're referring to their lifespan being cut in half time-wise, Genesis would still have lasted well into the 80's.
For Yes, that means 9 or 10 out of 19 studio albums get released, which is actually perfect, really, because that ends right around Drama, which I'm sure many will agree as the end of the prime. Or, for a chronological shortening, they would still last until '92, so even the 80's Yes fans would be appeased.
So I would have no problem at all with keeping Yes and sending Genesis and the Moodies off into space.

The Aliens have confirmed that for Genesis that means they release 7 out of 15 studio albums and for Yes a chronological shortening, they will still last until '92............
They seem to have a Genesis and Moody Blues preference......

Do we need aliens to launch The Moody Blues into space? Could we just do that anyway? With a nuke attached perhaps (just to be sure)?

Thanks for the tip. We recently built a long distance voyager to make things easier. We're still deciding what to destroy now

The score is looking bad for the Moody's at present, better warm up that Long Distance Voyager..........

So by voting for the Moodies, I just jettisoned half of Genesis and Yes, and kept all the Moodies releases? I can live with that, I guess. These aliens aren't the Kobaians, are they?

More than likely, wouldn't be surprised if Magma were involved somehow.
I check with Thatfabulousalien, he seems to be the main Alien.............
