No Dream Theater?

[progdirjim(Admin)]

OK, so which Stranglers tracks? I have two of their discs...

All we (Avian and I) can do is apply our best judgment - and we both feel that DT is marginally if at all prog. We acknowledge that we seem to be in the minority in that opinion, and that makes me always willing to listen to recommended DT tracks, but I have not yet been able to bring myself to buy any of their albums. Quite awhile back (round two or three, Yesspaz), I did find a clip of a song that I thought was quite good, and I posted a message to the forums requesting that someone e-mail me the MP3 of the whole song. I wrote "If the rest of it is as good as the clip I heard, we'll add the whole song" - and no one took me up on it.

Anyway, keep the suggestions, criticisms, counteropinions, complaints, and compliments coming - I read every message in the forums, and they influence my buying and programming dramatically. Look for 2 Van Der Graaf Generator albums coming soon - and I've long said I don't care for them. But there was enough positive feedback on them to get me to continue checking them out - and I either found the right albums, or grew to like them - I'm still deciding which.

Tommy, I'll e-mail ya about which DT tracks to start with! Thanks!
