Last time I checked, Orion is a constellation of stars, plural. There are few selections, if any, on the list that refer to a specific star.

If you are going to say Orion represents stars when stars actually represent Orion then nearly any song tile could be up there.

^I don't know what represents what in that song, I don't understand what you mean by that, Ian, but to me it's pretty clear that JT's song 'Orion' has got something to do with the star sign with the same name.
 
Orion, won't you give me your star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line

Well if the song is about the constellation then that's different i guess.

How about Star of Sirius by Hackett?

Yeah, I can read. The question is what kind of star we are talking about. A movie star?
 
I checked the lyrics, and I would say that that one also could have been in the poll.

In other words: You are silly, if you don't like the same stuff as I do!
You can't be serious in your last sentence! To each his own, my friend.
          Accept's "Starlight" is one of those "driving down the Autobahn at top speed" songs that can't be beat.
                 Who says you can't love something heavy metal and also embrace prog at the same time, anyway?

I may be wrong but i don't think he was having a go at you but commenting on Gandalf's reply.

Snowie is right. I was trying my best at irony, but yeah..... it's the internet. Gandalf's reply was probably just a bubble, but I don't find it funny.

Accept are great, and I would fight to my last breath of life for peoples' right to listen to what they love. Not what others do.

^Thanks for your reply, Guldbamsen. No hard feelings.

Thought of a couple of other prog song references not mentioned previously

No, no, we're fine. And when it comes to your other scrapes, I must say I find them quite entertaining. Your protests against certain Survivor polls for example. Go get'em, Snow Dog, I say. I'm with you all the wayBig smile
