in the words of Mr. Horse: "No sir, I don't like it."
I think R&S is pretty prog, in its own way.  You sick little monkey.
 SD> Tony Williams Lifetime _Emergency_
C>Way back when, Tony Williams Lifetime was recommended to me as music
C>with great drumming.  I'd like to hear this.
He has a very good reputation, but I've managed to avoid hearing anything 
else by him to date.
C>I never got into Berlin.  I *think*
C>I've heard "Sex," but I'm not sure.
You gotta hear that one.
 SD> Genesis _SEbtP_
all the live versions of those songs have much
C>more life.  That's true of ALL of Genesis' songs, though.  
Maybe they'll have the collective intelligence to release more live material 
someday.  Maybe Donald Trump will  give me millions of dollars.
Have you ever
C>heard _Seconds Out_, their 1977 live album?
I have a r-
a t-
a c-
I have a little birdie that sings that album for me.  The sound quality is a 
bit off, as the bird has been singing longer that it was intended to.
 SD> Simon and Garfunkel _Collected Works_
After further review, this may well be
 SD> all 5 of their albums...I'll have to find my cassette(s) and do
 SD> a track by track check.
C>Yes, that's all of their albums.  
The question was whether it contained every track.  I lent that to Linda, so 
it'll be out of circulation for a while.
 SD> Single
 SD> From the _Live Floating  Anarchy_ album
 SD> With "Opium for the People" and a song whose title I don't
 SD> recognize called "Poet for Sale".
C>I've never heard of this band.
GONG!  It was a SINGLE by GONG.
I like it better than _Voyage of the Acolyte_, but I'm alone
C>in that I'm sure.
A distinct possibility.
 SD> Trace s/t
C>ELP?  Hmm, a little, but not as pompous, overbearing, and pretentious as
C>ELP :-)  
Show a little respect for your elders, young man.  You're like one of those 
neo fans who don't like Genesis...
Plus, and I'll say it again, Pierre
C>Van Der Linden (from Focus) is one of my favorite drummers.  
How's that live album hold up?
 SD> Lucifer's Friend _Banquet_
C>Wasn't it "Thus Spoke Oberon" that you played for me?  Man, if it was,
C>that song was incredible!
Yeah, what an instrumental break.  Such a schizo album, though, and very 
different from s/t, which was a mere 2 years earlier.
 SD> Todd Rundgren _A Wizard A True Star_
C>I'd like to hear this.  Is it something like that Utopia CD I played
C>some of for you?
I haven't  got back to it, but it seemed less Prog and considerably weirder 
than early Utopia.
 SD> Michael de Albuquerque _We May Be Cattle But We've All
 SD> Got Names_
C>Yeah, he played bass with ELO on _ELO II_ (1972) and _On The Third
C>Day_ (1973).  I'm looking forward to hearing this.
Electric or acoustic.  My crappy memory tells me he played with a bow.
