Yeah, it happened some time ago to me, with a rather noisy printer, which sounded like the weird effects on "Tocatta" played bye ELP.

Every time I'm on a bus, I hear that inicial sound on Exiles (King Crimson). Wacko

Also: You know you're a prog addict when you get an erection every time a tuba comes near you. Why? Don't ask, but it was the golden age of RIO.

You Know You're a Hopeless Proghead When:

What would be on your list? Here's mine.

10. Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is by far your favorite Elton John song.

9. You won't even consider purchasing an album lacking at least one song over say 7 minutes.

8. You swear never to tell anyone about that 2 minutes when thought Yanni was great.

7. You hate Dream Theater lyrics and Labrie's singing but you buy their records anyway.

6. You aren't necessarily crazy about Scifi and Fantasy novels but you read them anyway because you feel its required.

5. Like me you were born and raised in the American South, yet you are a Proghead, now that is hopeless!

4. Roger Dean and H. R. Giger are the only illustrators you know by name.

3. Your absolute favorite Black Sabbath album is Sabatoge and you've always been willing to give Technical Ecstasy a break.

2. Even though she walked away in disgust you're still proud 30 years later that you told a girl at a UGA college party that the greatest album ever made was Close to the Edge.

1. You make yourself listen to Heaven and Earth 50 times knowing it will click any minute!

David, you may be a bit out of it - but you still get sh*t done m8.

Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.
