Here is a choice I was recently forced to make, which put me in considerable psychological distress. I was driving to work when both Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen and ELP - I Believe in Father Christmas both came on the radio on different stations at the same time. Which one would you have chosen? ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie.

Surely not the best ELP song, but I like them too much. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

| Hey Nineteen is far from the Dan's best, but I really don't like seasonal songs by rock groups. |

This needs another option "I don't listen to the radio". ------------- https://ibb.co/8x0xjR0" rel="nofollow">  |

I quite like the Christmas song but I LOVE Hey Nineteen. But then, there's not much of snarky Fagen in that period that could go wrong for me. "Hard times have fallen, soul survivors/She thinks I am crazy but I am just growing old"  Love that line and the way Fagen sings it just totally makes it.

| So presumably we are talking about the alternative version on Works Volume Two without orchestra? The original was a Greg Lake solo release (although co-written by him and Pete Sinfield). |

I would rather listen to a radio commercial than Hey Nineteen. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| Hard situation to be stuck with. Thank God I don't listen to radio anymore. That being said, I would go with ELP, though Steely Dan is a great option |

Or “My limo driver doesn’t like Prog”. I used to listen to nothing but CDs or NPR in the car, but here in Oklahoma the dirt from the dirt roads I frequent, including the one I live on, has gotten up into the dashboard and has rendered the CD player unusable. Doesn’t everyone have this problem? Anyway, I hear occasional well known Prog tunes on the radio. When I can’t stand what’s on, I’ll change the station to a Public radio station and hear either NPR or Classical music. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie.
