That's about £6 over the bar.

Gentle Giant's "The Missing Piece." I think it's a brilliant album.

^ Interview is the last GG I really liked, but I do like music off that album. I especially enjoy the first few albums by GG. I love Acquiring the Taste. Yummy.

^^ I love Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door and much prefer it to the subsequent Coda, and I prefer to the preceding Presence. It has "Carouselambra" which I adore, and I do love "All of My Love" off it. I love John Paul Jones in those. As for Saga, the self-titled debut is easily my favourite by the band, and I actually thought it was very well-regarded in its discography (at least by Prog fans, maybe not compared to many other bands). I love APP's first two album especially but have not heard the post Eye in the Sky albums.

I love repetition if its done well.  This is on the extreme end of the subject but one of my favorites.





Gotta admit, now that Sufjan Stevens music sounds too repetitive to me. I kind of feel like he's doing some Nirvana meets Radiohead thing in that first song. It's hardly a favourite track of mine by him. And I do get what you're saying.

All is well!  I actually do like!  Not sure why that even crossed my mind when listening.

For some reason these click with me, but don't do well compared to their other albums (per PA/RYM ratings):

King Crimson - The ConstruKction of Light (this is actually my favorite KC album)
Jethro Tull - A
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma (just the studio disc and not the live one)
Genesis - Abacab
VDGG - A Grounding in Numbers

I've been meaning to divide by zero all day today.

Rush's debut. I've never understood the dislike for this album. I mean Working Man and Here again are immense tracks and as a whole I think it's a brilliant album. 2.96 on this very site is way too low.
Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen
