I'm sure we'll be overtaken eventually.
phanan said:Screwtape, I'm curious if you ever spoke to the librarian again.
Feel free to ignore this inquiry if you'd rather not talk about it.
phanan said:Ah, ok. Good idea.
Besides, if you get a job there, you'll have plenty of opportunities for casual conversation.
Screwtape2 said:
Casual conversation, eh?
Librarian: "How was your day?"
Screwtape: "Marry me."
I'm joking of course.
phanan said:So what's the best Renaissance album out there, anyway?
Screwtape2 said:I just realized that I know nothing about Gentle Giant and Rush.
Screwtape2 said:
Tales of 1001 Nights Volume 1 & 2 are the best versions of their songs. Volume 1 is better of the two. I highly recommend it.
phanan said:
The song that was on your Prog Island entry, The Black Flame, was terrific.
phanan said:
For Gentle Giant, check out Octopus. I don't listen to them a lot, but that's a good album.
As for Rush, well, where do you start? Early Rush is the most progressive, and the high point is 2112, in my opinion. But other albums have excellent longer compositions, too; one of my favorite epics from them is Xanadu.
Obviously, by the start of the 80's, they turned into more traditional rock, but they still had some progressive moments, like The Camera Eye from Moving Pictures.
Screwtape2 said:Watching this first Gentle Giant video makes me feel like this would scare someone away from prog forever.
Take that off the list.
Irishteen said:Is this thread based on the town or the fact that a lot of idiots here have mullets?
phanan said:
Isn't it both?

Couldn't we just forget the fact a few thousand idiot teenage boys have the ugliest hairstyle in the world in Ireland?

An observation - I'd add one thing by King Crimson. They did, after all, start the genre, more or less.
Also, which youtube link do you plan on using for Soon?
phillyfan26 said:So, me and a couple of my buddies are making a video as our fourth quarter exam. Last year we did one and it was fantastic, but we failed it due to inappropriateness. Now, three (including me) of the five from last year plus two new guys are creating a new movie. That'll be one the big focuses of my next month.
I'd give you all the link to our movie from last year, but then again it's probably not a good idea. Especially since my name is in the credits.
