 Topic: Well let's do another poll
Posted: September 23 2009 at 22:32 |
A time traveler holds a warm gun to your head and, while you feel happy, he forces you to choose an alternate universe.
Option one: Greg Lake never leaves King Crimson. He becomes the only consistent member besides Robert Fripp, and ELP never happens.
Option two: Peter Banks never leaves Yes.
Option three: Ian Anderson quits Jethro Tull after the first album and joins up with a plucky Jon Anderson and stone-faced Chris Squire.
Option four: Kevin Moore was a nicer fellow, and therefore never left Dream Theater.
Option five: Peter Gabriel never leaves Genesis after The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, but everybody else does. To fill in, Gabriel acquires Bill Bruford on drums, Rick Wakeman on keyboards, Trevor Horn on bass and vocals, and a fresh Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals.
So pick one.
You only have five seconds.

It took me over 5 seconds to choose between 4 and 5. I died.
But on a positive note, Kevin Moore is still in Dream Theater!......

I'm not a huge fan of DT, but the thought of Moore producing moore (bad pun, sorry) albums with the band has me moore (ah... yes, sorry about that one as well) interested than the other options.

1 is half good -- the good part being ELP never happening, but having Lake stay with KC makes it too undesirable.
2: ambivalent.
3. Though I would see this as improving Yes, it's undesirable. Ian Anderson had at least a couple of really good albums with Jethro Tull left in him: Stand Up and Benefit (actually I like a fair amount of the later music too, and prefer JT to yes overall, so this one would be bad).
4. Ambivalent.
5. This would be an improvement on Genesis, but I wouldn't want to risk being deprived of Adrian Belew's solo work had the Genesis project continued. To a lesser extent, I would want to risk being deprived of Gabriel solo as I think he made most of his best music outside of Genesis. Leaving Genesis was a good move for Gabriel artistically, I feel. So, even though not something I care that much about, I would see it as being negative. There was a time when Lone Rhino was a very important album to me.
So neither two nor four bother me. Since I don't care about DT, it'll get my vote for being the least harmless/ important change. Being the one of least consequence, it is the least negative.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

A good alternate would be if "Hendrix didn't die, he would have completed his reunion with ELP, and formed HELP."

Five would yield the widest variety of possibilities, and that got my almost immediate vote (4 seconds). ELP needed to happen. Banks needed to be out of Yes so Howe could join in. On the other hand, having the Anderson twins with Squire would yield some interesting possibilities, but then when I think about it, maybe Banks should have rema ---- BANG

Or made an album with Miles Davis. In bizarro territory, what if Frank Zappa hadn't died and joined Transatlantic?

Number 3 
Thick As An Edge / Close To The Brick sounds pretty good to me 
Runner-up would be KM not leaving DT, easily their best keyboardist

Option #4 seems the least disastrous to me.
