idk, i dont fit into any of those categories. one day i'll be big on symphonic prog. then the next day i'll listen to nothing but jazz (no fusion). Then the next day i'll crave the insane and listen to Zappa, or Bungle, or SGM, or free jazz. Then the next day i'll only listen to jazz-fusion and eclectic prog. then sometimes i'll even throw on some modern progressive progressive rock. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm
