I thought you would be a progrocker for sure. I was into Emerson, Lake and Palmer and "Yes" as a teenager. Pre drugs too! Imagine that. You really don't like Yes? Fragile is genius. I need to get back on the music horse, I don't spend much time listening to music anymore. You kow you are getting old when you listen to the news in the car instead of music. I let the radio scan but it is disappointing. I will check out a few of those bands, thanks.
