Okay, so, basically, got me a new mobile talking device. Which is, to those of you who don't speak English, a cell phone. I've added my Jethro Tull wallpaper, set my Jethro Tull message, but was horrified to discover that in this enlightened day and age of Verizon Tones 3.0, we STILL don't have any Jethro Tull ringtones.
No King Crimson, no ELP, no Procol Harum...hell, not even a good ole Van Der Graaf tune or two! There were, oddly enough, some Genesis tones, but they were all "ringbacks," whatever the crap that is. Too bad, "Dancing w/ a Moonlight Knight" was there...
Anyways, here I've assembled some of the finest prog, prog-related, or almost, vaugely, but not really, progressive tones to my liking. And, yes, Yes is there. Squire obviously realized long ago that, incapable of being half the bassist that Jeffrey was, sold out to Verizon in a desperate attempt to cheer himself up.
Questions? ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

Actually, Solsbury Hill is my ringtone. Since I think it's so great, I'll let you have it as well. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

Oh, and, by the way. I love both "Solsbry" and "Steam," but my favorite of the Gabriel numbers is "Come Talk to Me."

I'd say Sledgehammer... or maybe Solsbury Hill, can't really decide between the two.

i think so. if your cell phone could play mp3, then just upload the song to your phone and sets it as a ring tone. there're also some programs that able to edit the song, so you can just use only part of the song as a ringtone. if you talking about MIDI ringtone and such, i don't really know, but i believe it's still possible ------------- The devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us. |

Thanks, but I doubt it.

From these, I think "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" would sound best coming from a phone.

Now, now...we both know that's impossible.
Anyway, sorry lads, but a recent examination proves that certain Yessongs are only those "ringback" things again; that means that "Clap" and "People" are out.

Well as you're only going to hear the first 10 seconds or so of the song anyhow, just choose something with a great intro. I have an MP3 'phone, so I can have any ringtone I want (if I put it on my computer, that is). I think I am the only person in the world with my ringtone... but then again, I maybe surprised and find someone in Finland with it. I'm certainly the only person in the UK with it.

I 2nd Freewill. Just because. I should actually find that ringtone and get it for my cell. My current ringtone is Long Distance Runaround.
