wonderful choice... in fact.. putting that on. *God Speaking in his trademark booming voice* Micky... you have lived a good life... I will grant you whatever you wish in Heaven. A lifetime supply of Winstons.. that 6' blond with large mammary glands you always speak of... even perhaps... James LaBrie losing his voice... But you have to answer me one question.... 'what is your favorite prog rock epic over 10 minutes' *Micky speaks in his trademark mumbling monotone* Oh wow... you know God... hmmmm.. *sound of thunder and lighting crashes upon Micky*

I have wanted to meet you for some time. Oh you are going to BURN for that SFaM review... and I plan on seeing you suffer. Here in hell we have Dream Theater albums 24/7.. and the only channel we get on TV here in FauxNews.

HAHAHA... yes Micky... now you learn the answer to the question Man has always asked. However it is forgotten that once I was once an Angel... the bringer of Light.. so I will give you a chance to escape eternal damnation.

No no no... I only want one thing Mick. I need to know.. we all need to know... damnit.. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PROG ROCK EPIC OVER 10 MINUTES .. damnit man... SAY IT!!!!
