Ah yeah, so lovely - and yet to honest and "harsh", as it sends a clear message to all 'stalkers' to just piss off -
"I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend..."
Beautiful song!

Re: Bonnie the Cat's, formerly know as Stupid Dream - PROG ROCK thread!
Given its content, it's ironic that this is one of their most popular songs.
Your turn!

As I've head so, yes, quite ironic indeed!
One of their most beautifull, an unfortunately, most significant, imho -
Witch Hunt -
"... Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand.
Ignorance, prejudice, and fear, walk hand-in-hand..."
So sad, so right, so beautiful - it brings tears to my eyes.
I can well understand a band consisting of a member of a family of Jewish survivors of the holocaust in Poland, a stray Croatian, and a lost intellectual semi-British cannuck, making up for such a wonderful band. Oh man.

Indeed.
Moving Pictures , what a fantastic album.
For my next song though, I'm going to go back in time even further - 3 years, in fact to the majestic
A Farewell to Kings .
Here is the incredible, the epic
XANADU!
Thank you Samuel Taylor Coleridge for the base material.
Oh man, that intro. Gives me tingles down my spine every time.

Couldn't agree with you more.
Xanadu!
Perhaps their best song ever. A true epic.
All of
A Farewell To Kings is just wonderful.
That epic at the end... someone describing being stuck in an intergallactic space machine, bound for destruction, oh man..

How about one more?
This one's with Rush's original drummer, John Rutsey -

You recommended some of their albums to me a few months ago. They're very good.
Who can resist a bit of Porcupine Tree?!?

Not me!
The loveliest of loveliest - with some kind of a harsh bite - of PT:
"... yes I'm hearing voices, too. And I'm more cut up than you!..."
Oh man, beautiful.
Mr. S.W. is in my avy for a good reason.

And just to admit that I am *drunk*, to end this ProgRock worshipping, something silly -

You want PT's best, check out "Signify", "Lightbulb Sun", and "Stupid Dream".
The rest of Mr. S.W.'s stuff isn't too shabby either.
