Ian Anderson has it all: brains, poetry, business savvy and humour. His interviews are often full of cleverness. Plus his smoked salmon is the best in the world!

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

As shallow as such an opinion might be on paper, I think it's not so crazy... I mean, would you ever want to see live a death metal band who looked exactly like the main characters of Superbad, no matter how good their music was?

Peter Gabriel, he is respected by Progheads and mainstream listeners.
He hasn't played with Genesis for 33 years and still Progheads dream with him back.

^ Slarti! That was my first reaction, as soon as I saw this poll. I then saw you had posted last and am not at all surprised to see that you came up with the same answer. It would appear we have the same warped and twisted sense of humour!
