very different (double lp, year etc)

Anyway, I consider H to He an absolute masterpiece in the history of prog, so...

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

”And the lamb …”

Welcome to the middle of the film.

The Lamb, no question.

What is with you kids and your abbreviating everything? I guess it is because you text each other, eat fast food instead of preparing your own food in a slow cooker or maybe it is because you lack the time. In my day it was not just an "ROTFL bro!" message, we would actually knock our brothers down then roll them around on the floor while we laughed at them for ten minutes, then our brothers would return the "favour" -- good times, bad times, we had our share. In regards to the periodic table of elements, we did not write "He" (or HE in this poll's case), we took the time to go and buy party balloons so that we could inhale the helium, then we would talk to each other in squeaky voices while avoiding all abbreviations. Inhaling a bunch of helium and then saying "VdGG - H to He"" would have made it too easy, no we said it in full so we had time for our voices to have fully dropped before we finished saying Van der Graaf Generator's Hydrogen to Helium Who Am the Only One versus Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

But seriously....

I love both. I can "blame" The Lamb... for getting me deeply to delve into Prog (it's a long story and actually I am impatient and no one would find it interesting), but VdGG generally has just interested me more over the past 15 years. I voted VdGG despite preferring the two albums that bookend it.

It's not something new, abbreviations have always been present, I've started to know what they mean LOL

While I was kidding around, I feel so old that I feel like we had not invented them when I was young. I was born in the early '70s, but I won't say which millennium.

By the way, when I first found forums I basically needed a crash course in abbreviations. When someone first said LOL to me I thought she meant Lots Of Love (I wrote back, "Thank you, hugs and kisses to you" or some such thing). While I now know plenty of the band and album abbreviations (initialism and the like) for famous albums, when I check out the "What are you listening to now?" thread it quite often stumps me. I'm still one of those who tends to spell things out that don't need spelling out when texting (I now am more comfortable with writing things like "C U l8r k?"
