The message from Scott Rhodes rises higher:
 CR> First off, I think the opening is a nod to Zeppelin's "Stairway..."
 SR> No, not really.  Both are just trying to capture a fairly mediaeval
 SR> sound, and both do...well, okay at it.
Medieval?  Well, we'll disagree again.
 CR> The overall form of the song is a nod to "Supper's Ready" and side 2
 CR> of _Abbey Road_ (in a way).
 SR> Again, I disagree.  There's no equivalent of "Willow Farm", for
 SR> example, nor of "How Dare I Be So Beautiful?" or "As Sure As Eggs Is
 SR> Eggs".  About the only similarity is the closing section, which isn't
 SR> even the  equivalent of the closing section of SR.
"Supper's Ready" has separate themes; "Grendel" has separate themes.
That's what I meant.  You can't disagree with that similarity.
 CR> There's Fish's voice which sounds like
 CR> Gabriel in Genesis in 1971 to 1972.
 SR> No more so here than anywhere else, though.
I think Fish's voice changed over the years to be more unique.
 CR> Then there's Rothery's guitar
 CR> which, to me, has a thinner Hackett sound.  It gets *very* Hackett
 CR> like from 7:00 through 9:00 minutes into it.
 SR> This I can see.
No way -- you agree?! :-)
