Hmm, mine is Rainbow Machine. That's not prog, that was created by Ritchie Blackmore!!!
Can I just say that Heather Findlay looks nice (or is that sexist?) ![](smileys/smiley9.gif)

Ancient 777...
...sounds like really bad 80's Christian rock.
Seems "Ancient" is pretty popular with that engine.

You sound like a RIO/Fusion band... unlike me... who sounds like an over the top Prog Metal act comprising of the greatest of the genre... who's better? I don't know.

Space Station Of Time. Clearly a Hawkwind derivative.
Nice to see a positive article. Seems like the author may have read The Guardian article in April, but is obviously a fan of the genre.

I'm River Tripod. Sounds silly. Seems to give same words repeatedly: Machine, River, Sword... I wonder if it has any 'logic' with your name or is it just hazard. By the way, my surname is translated 'willow peninsula' and so the word 'Willow' would suit nicely.

Friede and I used our maiden names for the game. I got "Dawn Dimension", she got "Planet Platypus". While the latter conjurs up an image of a far-away planet on which a race of intelligent platypi rules, we'll stick to the name we chose for our band, and that's "Bald Angels". (Another name that we nearly chose was "The Goat and the Donkey").
