    I'd be curious to know how many of today's avantheads were actually aware of these album in 81

    I certainly wasn't: I was 18/19 and heading into 70's JR/F at the time

    I didn't listen to *any* music in 1981. I didn't become aware of any avant/RIO prog bands until 1989, when I was in high school.
