I was listening to Third rigt now; now it sounds different to me. A bit shocked, he was one of the greatest musicians ever.

Sorry, I checked the prog music lounge and prog bands, Artists and Genres Appreciation forum but I didn’t check prog news, press releases before I started the thread.
The administrator should probably remove this thread since there’s no need for two tribute threads.
