King Crimson pretty much invented prog rock... Trey Gunn plays for them now (he's awesome - plays on a guitar called the Warr guitar; sounds cool)

i havent seen the Transatlantic DVD - and yeah, 'Stranger in Your Soul' is awesome. so is 'All of the Above' from the debut album.

Get the DVD...it is excellent. Good version of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' on the extras as well (they did it on the special edition of 'Bridge Across Forever').

cool. as long as it doesnt have Mike Portnoy on vocals:P

**Shaun Ponsonby** · 02-19-2005, 01:47 PM

He does some, but Neal Morse does most of them.

bleh. he's an awful vocalist... have u heard him sing 'Strawberry Fields Forever'? - its atrocious.

Is that on 'Live In America'?

I know Yes are meant to be very very good, but which album is best?

**Shaun Ponsonby** · 02-19-2005, 02:29 PM

Yes' best album, erm...either 'Fragile' or 'Close To The Edge', maybe 'The Yes Album'. There is a good compilation, a 35th anniversary special, that is very good.

There is also a VERY VERY good box set called 'In A Word'.

It's not their best but it's good.
For the first 8 minutes you may be thinking what is this new age?
Then suddenly you're in for a nice surprise.

Ozric Tentacles are very spacey. Kinda reminicent of Pink Floyd.

Cool website, though.

u should see their live shows.... EVERYONE is stoned - the band, the crowd...u can get high just by watching it....

On the Pongmaster's Ball DVD, everytime the flute guy (he keeps changing his name, so I don't quite know what to call him) rolls up a spliff, the camera pulls away quickly. It's funny. Flute man smokes them through his flute and everything.

**nosuchluck** · 02-19-2005, 04:46 PM

i think he calls himself 'Jumping John' on that dvd.
the extras on that dvd are hilarious.

'Eternal Wheel' is a double CD best of compilation which is a good place to start with the Ozrics.
