.....I suspect many are! I bought that CD on release and played it ALL THE DAMN TIME. Great music and writing, I'm not into the relationship bashing that the concept is about, I just like the music. Was recently released on LP for the first time and I bought that also.

I've never seen D97 live, have many of their albums but they never come out west to play.

I bought it used in the early 2000s at a Coconuts (remember those?). In the 90s I was listening to a lot of alternative and grunge kind of stuff especially since I took a break from prog from around 94-98 or so. 

Anyway, I've seen D97 live about four times (twice at Rosfest). They were always very good. I haven't heard their last couple of albums though.

By the way, I never knew JLP was a relationship bashing album. I thought it was just that one song. I don't really remember hearing that in the other songs.

Maybe not all of it, but much seems a lot about the whole female relationship thingy...I don't know much about that . But I was kinda similar, listening to a lot of grunge/alternative and metal, prog at that time was kinda nothing anyways.

Ok. Could be. I should dig a little closer into the lyrics. I like the fact that Flea from the Red Hot Chilipeppers is playing bass on it too. 

I kind of stopped listening to prog (around the time when I went back to college in 1995) because I felt like no one else was listening to it at the time! Lol. Little did I know that this thing called the internet was starting to help revive it (very slowly though I might add; I didn't get online until the very end of the decade and rediscovered prog right before that through old mail order catalogs). But yeah, prog was mostly just neo prog, prog metal and retro prog. There wasn't much going on and it wasn't really catching on yet with a younger audience either. It was mostly just people rediscovering it. There were some good bands making waves (even if those waves were little) though like TFK, SB and echolyn (who unfortunately broke up at a critical time for prog's resurgence). I'm glad I stuck with it and didn't forget about it. I liked stuff like Live, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins and others and some of that stuff was a little proggy at times but I always come back to prog sooner or later. 

I never got into that neo/retro-prog in the 90's. Of course I never stopped listening to Rush and the classic bands like Yes, PF or Genesis. The Marillion's of the world did not hit me till late, late 90's, I knew of them from them opening for Rush and reading about them in rock mags but did not start serious listening till later. I guess the 90's for me was filled with metal from Scorpions, Iron Maiden, MSG, Saxon, Priest......Bands like Bush and Collective Soul were big rotation listens for me as well.

If that's really Alanis in the video, then she looks and sounds better than they she did in the 90s! 

Apologies for jumping into a thread conversation and please excuse if i am out of place with this..

I assume its Michael Schenker group.. or possibly monosodium glutamate.. either way there's a pretty hefty list of symptoms brought on by MSG if you have a sensitivity...
