Isn't it interesting that Marillion got blasted (and rightly so at the time) for "Grendel" and its 9/8 ripoff, and now they're the yardstick? At least they had the balls to do it, and there's no patent on that time signature.
To open up a can of worms - Except for a few really decent tunes (most of Season's End, Dry Land), what happened to the rest of the band after Fish left? I saw them on the Season's End tour (my only time I saw them)
, and they were good, but for crying out loud, put some ass back in your music, will you?
Thanks for the "nit-pick" joke - I not feeling well today and that should pick me up for a while!
