an idea

maybe if we restrain ourselves from labeling everything, we would enjoy it more.

Jon Anderson said "important"? That makes me ill. Self-descriptions like that really irk me. I heard this on the radio the other day about sports, but it applies here. If you nickname or label yourself, it's not really a nickname.

I agreed when I first read the comment "directly follow in the footsteps" but as I think about it, that's not really true. The Kings have a Yes sound in some of their songs - a lot really. And the Beard has a couple of overtly Giant tunes in their base. But really they have a distinctive sound all their own.

Maybe I'm not as sophisticated in my research or knowledge, but I think these labels are a bunch of hot air.
