YESSSSSSSSSSSS... god, that syncopated "jump" rhythm made a Steely Dan lover out of me! I've never liked jazz, particularly the free-form style, and I still hate that free-form shit... but this song FORCED me to listen to more Steely Dan, and I gradually grew VERY fond of them, and a couple other jazzy sounding bands -- like Traffic, which I never liked at all when I was a kid, but I was able to turn into a true fan! (still can't abide "rock n roll stew" or that one which exhorts someone to make us "hoppy"... "Dear Mr Fantasy"?)
And jeez, Dave and Paul were so fucking YOUNG!!!!!!! AAARGHHHH!!!
Andria
But who sang that song? Huh huh do ya know? That's my favorite band everSorta like the line in Have a Cigar... "By the way... which one is Pink?"

They're definitely one of my favorites; I'm a huge fan of ALL progressive rock. I'd have to say that Yes and Jethro Tull are probably my most-faves, but Floyd might be #3.
Andria
Awesome choices. Not many people know "have a cigar" was a street musician Roy Harper. One of David and Rogers good friends

In my best (Gordon Ramsay) imitation.Shocking...Just shocking!
How could you not like anything that has both (Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood)
As punishment you will just have to watch (Pon Pon)
Did you know Jethro Tull won the very first (Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental).

You're thinking of Blind Faith, not Traffic. I ain't watching no asian crap, PERIOD. They seem to think singing should sound like cats mating.

Yeah I realized my error as soon as I hit (Post Reply)
We seriously gotta expand your music tastes.
I remember many people were bewildered on how a flute playing band could be called a Hard Rock band. As much as I like them, I questioned that as well.
Most people did.
It didn't help when the poster below started showing up in music stores everywhere.

I've never seen that. It's great!

Last week I listened to this podcast which explored the powerful effect country music has on its listeners. Not being a country fan I found it to be enlightening.

Okay, I figured YOU would know, but possibly just the two of us.
Nah... I'm a country girl at heart, who happened to have been born in a city (Atlanta). But I came late to appreciate country music -- it was after rap infested rock n roll, so I (and much of rock n roll) had to go over to country in pure self-defense. Which is why so much country sounds like rock nowadays.

I don't know much about country, but I do know that as a group they're much better musicians than just about anyone else other than the jazz folks.
Damn it

Probably my all time favorite actor. Not as famous or adored as a classic leading man but...
Intense dude, unique character.
Some of my favorite movies he was in: Repo Man, Missouri Breaks and She's So Lovely

Really? I farkin LOVE that movie! The music is awesome, and the constant "I thought you were dead".
But I love John Carpenter movies in general -- scariest movie I've EVER seen was his remake of The Thing. I also like pretty much ANYTHING with Kurt (except possibly Big Trouble in Little China). I've loved him since I was preschool age, as The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. Andria
I adored him. Just watched him in The Green Mile yesterday.
So many fantastically talented actors are dying with very few around to take their places.

Possibly the best line in the whole movie that was full of great lines
