My dad was a Huge fan. I got to read them all. Along with the Travis McGee books.
I always thought Alistair peaked with his first novel. HMS Ulysses. Still, You picked the best of the Rest. ...

Bummer. Which of his Symphonies is the Entry Symphony ?

Very Cool

I would generally be in favor of Getting Floating & Inside. Need to check out Ocean

Short Answer, Yes. To a large extent, Rush were inimitable. Of all of the active "prog" bands perhaps Astra (CA version, I believe there are two) is the one I might recommend to a displaced Rush...

That's actually a pretty good idea. And, theres a non-zero chance that radio stations that de-emphasized the same old commercials and commercial music might really stand out and develop a...

and what do you use it for and what do you think ??

I didn't notice it much till this last year, but it has certainly become one the chief places to get information on a lot of obscure releases. ...

I'd be cool with Lemmium. Though the fans would be asking for Iommium next. . .

just sayin'

Got Descendre and Vossabrygg. How do the others compare (Similar)?



I'll have to check some of those out. As I'll have to hunt down Cloud About Mercury.

My big complaint is string sections. They should never appear in Jazz or Prog. Even John Coltrane couldn't make a string section work. A String quartet can work (Chick Corea, the Mad Hatter,...

A very good choice. Hard as all get out, but my vote goes to Red as the rockingest of the classic prog songs

I have or currently owned 29 on the list. I'm Rush deficient as these things are reckoned. I would rate CTTE & Red in the top five, but understand why Dark Side of the Moon would take the top spot....
