Tricky one - love Duke, Drama - but has to KC for me. Such an incredible album.

No way I'm not going with Moving Pictures, but I will take this opportunity to say how excellent and unfairly ignored A is.

I discovered "the laser's edge" catalog in the summer of 89. Before that it was a rock encyclopedia, import music catalogs, the Episode mailing list(don't ask. Lol) and a guitar book that listed Robert Fripp and his band King Crimson(who I heard of anyway through a cousin who was into Yes and Genesis). I didn't discover wayside catalog until later. I suppose we should either get back on topic or take this conversation to pm land.

No doubt he attended the '88 Tower Theater gig in Philly.

Could be. It was in 88 so you could be right. There were prog fans around back then but most people didn't know the underground stuff. I read rock books and found magazines that had listings for prog catalogs so I probably discovered stuff that many prog fans didn't know about until the internet. Also, I remember seeing a guy wearing a Fripp or League of Gentleman t shirt at a Al Dimeola and John Mclaughlin concert in 1989 in NYC and in 95 when I saw King Crimson at the Tower I saw a guy wearing an Ozric Tentacles t shirt. So there's always been people who find the "good stuff."

Pre-Net, I had to rely on word of mouth, Wayside Music's catalog and the UK zine Audion, along with the odd mention or review in mags like Keyboard and Musician. The latter had the funniest, and shortest, review I've ever seen; it was for Big Generator — "Just say no."

I never said that. LOL

Ok, fair enough. You did say you didn't like it though.

Affirmative. Now who's not "arguing right"? LOL

That's cool. 90125 isn't my favorite Yes record even though it's the one that got me into them in the first place. We all have our favorites and yes it would be boring if we all liked the same thing. Nothing to fight about. LOL

Again, ditto. But it's held up a lot better than Talk, believe me.

Not to me. I actually prefer talk(if mainly for Endless Dream). Then again I don't see it as a genuine Yes album in some ways. It should have been a Cinema album but once they got Jon on board they couldn't call it anything else.

Yes, even I have to take a break from arguing. ;) I don't argue for the sake of arguing. Only when I disagree with someone. :P

I'll see your Crimson and raise you a Tangerine Dream, who I knew only via a film soundtrack (The Keep), their relevance as a progressive band only becoming apparent through meeting a guy in high school who was a fresh transfer from a few states away. I went to a rather large high school, and I wager fewer than 1% of the student body probably knew who or what a "Tangerine Dream" was. But we sure as hell tried to educate everyone. LOL

I guess that's where you became confused. I was never "arguing."

Then you aren't doing it right. LOL

Things are obviously black-and-white with you. I stated my opinions. But for argument's sake, you could pull up 100 sites to assert your prognosis that British Steel is a "better" album than Point of Entry, and it won't diminish the latter's status as "classic Priest" one iota, nor will it make your assessment of the former any less subjective. Wink

And that's not arguing? It's classic era Priest but so is British Steel. Maybe in your opinion British Steel isn't "classic priest" but all those websites with ratings and rankings prove otherwise.

I like some pop music. Not big into pop over all but some bands I think are good. U2 are one of the founders of alternative rock imo. They aren't one of my very, very favorite bands but I like them a lot. I'll admit part of it might have to do with my age. I was a teenager when they started to get really huge and decided to see what the fuss was about. I became a fan. I also like other bands from that era such as REM and Def Leppard. So sue me. :P

Same here. We're both fortysomethings, then. I simply don't like how U2 became the totem for "Irish rock" at the expense of Thin Lizzy and Horslips.

You'd be surprised. Maybe the people on here have matured though and I admit I haven't seen it lately.
