Bad Choices

The COnstrukction of Light; because I wasn't ready to appreciate it yet

No, never got on board the A train...Eddie Jobson + Tull never added up for me

Another regret: Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree.  I liked InAbsentia pretty well and loved Deadwing, but found FoaBP either derivative or dreary.  So many reviewers on Prog Archives raved about the album I thought it had to be a winner.  Nope. Snooze-fest. Turned me off to the band almost completely and I never want to buy another album by them ever again, no matter what anybody might have to say.

When I was 8 years old, my mother took my brother and me into the Yellow Submarine film; my first big music experience. I loved it and tried to grab anything I could get hold of of the Beatles (at that age obviously it mainly meant getting stuff as a gift). 5 years or so later in puberty I was actually wise enough to discover prog, but I thought being a Beatles fan was no longer cool, so I sold off everything I had and that was quite a bit.

I made some bad choices later but not quite that bad.

^ Hein?!

And I thought I was the King of all losers for trading my The Wall 2cd for a gram of weed.

I was just wondering was it US-version? That album is already quite long, but in the Us-version they`ve added also Theme One into a-side, so I think the quality of sounds has to be worse in the Us version. Also, to me it´s not just the sound quality why I want my favourite music in vinyls, it´s the whole package (mostly I think vinyls sound better, but if they´re too long it automatically affects specially the volume in the vinyl). If there is lyric insert in your version, I think you will get your money back anyday, at the moment the cheapest UK version with lyrics is 50 euros in discogs.

Why a waste ?? I’m curious......
Anthrax for ever !! Then Slayer

I got in eighties few friends that try to convince me how great Anthrax and Slayer was. No, I dig just Metallica and few others. There are only small part in my brains to metal.

When I got into southern rock and heavy rock in my early 20's, my favorite bands were Lynyrd Skynyrd and Motorhead. The complete opposite of progrock. Although Lynyrd Skynyrd isn't as redneck as you would think, and I still like it.
