I had to remove QOTSA "Songs for the Deaf" from my MP3 player for that reason. Some of the voice-over tracks don't make any sense out-of-sequence...

It would be nice if there was a "Don't include in random play" option on the iPod as some just work well that way.

BTW, as I type this, Comfortably Numb just started on my Pandora. Spooky.

It IS one of the few songs off of The Wall that can stand alone, though.

I see absolutely no similarity between them and the Floyd.

Like what you want but why the two would even be in the same conversation is beyond me...

I have every one of the albums -- EXCEPT No. 1. Just have never gotten around to buying their stuff.

Also, ironic this is on the Rolling Stone website, seeing as how Jann Wenner HATES prog.

Hmmm, I only have two of those (2112 and Dark Side of the Moon). Guess I'm not much of a prog rock fan.

[Huffmeister]

1) Rush
2) Pink Floyd
3) Queensryche

I love prog rock, and Rush is my favorite band, so that's why they get top billing. But given PF's broader appeal, I can see why most people would have them as number 1.

Queensryche is great (except some of the later albums) and Tate has probably the coolest rock voice ever. But there are several other 'prog' groups that I would put before them and PF.

I wondered when you were going to show up in here.

I've never seen the full band but I did get to see Alan as part of the "A Walk Down Abbey Road" tour with Jack Bruce, Christopher Cross, Todd Rundgren, Eric Carmen and another dude... and for the life of me I can't remember who it was anymore. Long time ago.

that's awesome, that would have been a great show to go to. I met Alan that night after the concert (wonder if Zoner was standing in line with me?). I had the whole "Live Project" sign an Ammonia Avenue CD, and just Alan himself sign a copy of "Stereotomy". Too bad I didn't know I could meet him, I woulda had him sign my Dark Side Of The Moon for sure.

At the show they all sang 3 or 4 of their own songs and each picked a handful of their favorite Beatles songs to do. Christopher Cross did the chorus of "Eye In The Sky" though since Alans range doesn't go up there heh.

I wish I could have met him too.

It depends if I'm in chillin' kinda groove or if I need a jolt of umph. Older Floyd is mellow but the Ryche is more blood pumping. Rush is a more upbeat groove than Floyd but has its mellow moments.

Awesome! BTW, that is one of their best, most prog albums they've ever produced. You should check it out.
