On 4/2/97, George Erdner grokked "What is `progressive'? (w", and said to 
Scott R. Godin:

possible, but you have to admit that that is even more rare than some of the 
more obscure progrock out there. I tend to AVOID buying albums for one song. 
If I want the one song so bad I would most likely borrow the album from the 
library and tape the one song off into a compilation. My last mistake was 
"Samba De Barra" by Azymuth. The rest of the album had me wanting to pray to 
the porcelain god that they would produce no more music. =P
  GE> For example, I doubt if you've ever heard the soundtrack album from
  GE> the movie "Streets of Fire", though you might have seen the movie.
  GE> Only one song from that film sounds like Prog-Rock, but it is a very
  GE> good Prog-Rock song -- "Tonight is What it Means to be Young". It has
  GE> multiple tempos, and the chord structure is somewhat innovative. The
  GE> instrumentation is basic rock-and-roll, with some good synthesiser
  GE> embellishments. The lead vocals have a heavy classical influence,
  GE> particularly Wagnerian operas.
I have heard it, I've seen the movie, but I don't recall any of it. "Chariots 
of Fire" comes more readily to mind for some reason.
