 SK> Nope, I was thinking of Marc Bolan of T-Rex. Now I'm doin' 
     hella damage control. Not to good of me to make such a 
     bludder on my very first post to this echo. EEK! I hide in 
     shame, now. OOK! OOK! 
 
        Oh do stop wittering on. *MY* first message on this echo, 
        I flamed the moderator for declaring XTC off-topic. 
 
        All those years ago I couldn't even spell "moder8er" and 
        now I even am one. Now all I need is 50 cents and I can 
        get a cup of coffee. 
 
        Welcome to the echo, btw. 
 
        Now, on to the ObProg part of the message. So, what are 
        your top ten fave prog bands of all time?  (not counting 
        the Johns, Elton and Olivia Newton, or the Billy's, Joel 
        and Paul and Squire). 
 
 
NPot8T: _Stardrive with Robert Mason_ in glorious quadraphonic! 
Just got a copy of this, brand new, still sealed, traded it for a 
Jim Croce 8 track! This is ultra space-age prog cheese food 
(actually the first side ain't bad, but the second side is pure 
polyester leisure suit prog). Which leads me to another question: 
What were the all time greatest cheese-prog bands? I tentatively 
nominate: 
 
1. Fire Ballet - hey, they were from New Jersey, no more need be 
said 
2. Space - french studio fakes, didn't know if they were a prog 
band or a disco band or a technopop band  (hey, all of technopop 
was cheesy, like M, Yellow Magic Orchestra, even Yello) 
3. Greenslade - I don't want to call them cheese-prog but honesty 
compells me to (see "Little Red Fry Up") 
4. Refugee - I think the vocals plant them firmly in this 
category 
5. Bo Hansson - Cheesy but good 
6. Randy Pie - they didn't title their album _Kitsch_ for nothing 
7. Birth Control - backdoor possibilities indeed! 
8. Face Dancer - from Genesis clone to cheese prog drone 
9. Michael Quatro - the ultimate in cheesepomp 
10. Omega - honourary Eurocheese
