90125 was ok. BG just pissed me off the more I heard it. I remember hear Owner the first time and thinking how cliche it was with the canned orchestra hits. I didn't give it another thought until I heard Changes. Then I was able to approach the album. At the time the thrash metal bands were beginning to emerge. To me the evolution of punk into something more complex carried more of what I wanted than any of the major prog bands. Those bands would eventually evolve into prog metal as we know it as well as some other thoughtful off shoots like Primus, Kings X, Mr. Bungle, etc. It was not until the internet came along that I had any awareness of anything more obscure than Yes, Rush, Genesis, ELP and Zappa. The 80's were progs b*****d decade.

Wow, really? I can use a word that describes an emotion equated to a slang word for eliminating bodily waste but not the one that is defined as a child born out of wedlock?  Sounds legit.
