Great post, Vegangelica! It's a brilliant song and I've missed your wall-of-text posts just a little bit

I do this, sorta. I certainly sing along at least. If my little bugs and spiders weren't dead, they'd be listening to a lot of private concerts! But I make sure I'm the only one present in the room before I do. If I'm not alone, I turn down the music I listen to until I can barely hear it as I worry that I'm bothering other people ..

Nothing I can put a finger on specifically, I just find a lot of prog vocals don't do it for me. Some of them don't bother me much, like Rush or King Crimson, but in the case of someone like Yes or Samla Mamma Manna they just really grate on my nerves.

I went with 2112!

Back around 77 I was at this warehouse record sale. They had 45's 4 for a dollar & I picked up a bunch & one was Temples of Syrinx. I never heard Rush before but I was blown away by that 2 minute song. Iwas telling my friend about the tune & he explained the 2112 album so I rushed out & bought the record & became a fan

I was referring to the other guy, undertow.

Considering his avatar and SN are both Tool related I put 2 and 2 together and took a shot. Looks like I missed pretty badly...

Little did you know that it was just a mere 2 minutes of a much more epic track. How exciting.

I remember finding a swap meet with a bunch of old Rush records a few years back. I was able to get Grace Under Pressure and Moving Pictures for next to nothing.

Ah, now it all makes sense, you were on my side.

Still a funny coincidence lol

Yep, Tool are probably the most overrated band that ever existed, not even in the same league as Rush.
