Their first three, like most of their songs actually, were blues
based.  In any case, I certainly did not intend to imply that their
prog songs were the best of their best (errrr..).  I was just
mentioning which ones sounded "proggy".

 DM> Could be interesting...  I wonder how it'll do on the charts.
Having all their studio albums is enough for me.  I have no intention
of getting any outtakes.
