Sick of David Bowie choking up the site yet ?

Arf, barf, barf!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I can always take an overflow of Deep Purple & Uriah Heep reviews of their "progressive music" meisterworks released over the course of a century of playing . Just don't ask me to consider the performer who put out some mid-career opuses as somewhat deserving of my "prog" attention

yeah so much for choking up the site huh... 

as far as Bowie...  he is an artist that can not be easily labeled or pigeonholed..  by the trolls ... or even the prog purists. Thus that has blunted the expected wave of rioting in the streets that some here, including the admins I believe, feared upon his addition. Personally...  I always thought there would be no  rioting since fully half this forum had always supported his addition strongly.  The other half.. were composed of  those that flimsily latched on to some label ..like a glam label.. or those who saw that his addition was dangerous to their notions of what prog is.. or what this site should be and were opposed more on principal rather than the artist himself. Who not surprisingly.. could have gone in 4 subgenres here.

As far as reviews... they'll come ...rather than in floods ... more a trickle over the long haul. Judging by feedback.. and various threads and polls over the last couple of years..many know some of man and his output.. similar to Zappa..  it takes some effort and time to follow him and his output .. and changes in direction.  (had watched them.. including Bowie here was a goal from my first day here  hahha.. just a patient soul)

True, considering the wealth of classic albums that he's put out. The swell diminished very quickly to a trickle, if you compare it to the period after the whole tech/extreme metal genre's birth.
Both comments were btw, very tongue and cheek. Though I would be ill-suited to defend Purple & Heep's prog credentials. Oh, wait ... they both have that big Hammond organ sound !
 I sometimes wonder why people can't simply overlook the reviews they don't care for. Whether it's due to the genre or band.
As for my own reviews, I have a few coming up. The DVDs of Fish - Return to Childhood, Marillion's Recital of the Script. I want to rent From Stoke Row to Ipenema, then submit all three.
Then I'll trash some krautrock and Zeuhl, and iconisize some Ange,Split Enz, and Moody Blues albums
