The Prog Attorney

Imagine you are being sued for absolutely loving an album, song, or artist which many prog fans do not enjoy or understand and being indifferent to or disliking an album, song, or artist they absolutely love. Because of budget constraints (due to excessive prog music and memorabilia purchases), you cannot hire an attorney, but you did take philosophy and government in college, and can function fine in this context (as long as you have enough duct tape). And so, you must give a case for why you like Big Generator better than Close to the Edge to keep from losing the money that you don't have.

Rules:
1. Must be prog, prog-related, or by a former or eventual prog band.

2. Items must correspond to other items in the same category. For instance, you cannot compare an album with a song, or a song with an artist.

Let the trial commence.

I can't imagine the amount of work that would take is going to come from me or anyone else around here. Not even from the scattered actual prog attorneys that inhabit it.

That's okay. It's less of a game and more of an actual question about people's opinions on music, to see what of the incredibly acclaimed they don't like, and what of the incredibly hated they love. Honestly, no one really has to give a case for it (unless they want to). I just figured that some sort of "game" wrapping would garner more participation, but I guess not.

I enjoy Earth and Fire's "Andromeda Girl" more than "Atlantis".

I gave them both three stars, but I listen to Andromeda a lot more.

I really like Indelible Stamped, and i really can't listen to Pawns Heart on much more times then once a year, 

I like Triumvirat's much hated album A La Carte, but don't like Gentle Giant's Three Friends album

I like St. Anger better than the black album.

I actually think Lulu is more interesting than most of Metallica's output. Quality is a different story, however.

I like Presto by Rush more than Selling England By the Pound.

I plead insanity.

I like Holidays in Eden about as much as the more appreciated Marillion albums.
