I won't even claim to be a music geek, but I knew who Jon and hayden were talking about. The amount of 70's stuff I know by osmosis (I heard most of it through the wall I shared with my bro, so it's really like osmosis) scares me.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My ex was a huge Wakeman fan, starting from his days with the Strawbs. She had most of his solo albums. His solo stuff did nothing for me, but I was a Yes fan back in the day (I got better), and I still like the Strawbs.

The other downside to being a keyboardist is the high mortality rate.

Could be worse. You could be a drummer.
Jon manages to come off more like Brian Eno than an aspirant to the mantle of Gentle Giant
I am so not worthy, but thanks.

Sure you are, avant garde guy.

He did that awful War of the Worlds thing, didn't he? God, I remember hearing that on the radio when I was a perpetually stoned senior in high school, while my buddies & I drove around laughing our asses off at it.

Blasphemy! some bits of WotW are ace - Phil Lynott as the mad preacher, the storming title track. Back me up, Hec. But I admit it's best when you're either 8 or very very stoned.

Incidenjtally, discussion of the new Fiery Furnaces has inspired me to dig out Gallowsbird's Bark. If it really is such a leap forward, I'm officially very excited. Not out here until September, alas.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey! I'm listening to WotW right now AIFG!

WotWs was another one I got when I was very young.
