Fuck them in their ass sideways with a pitchfork.

I voted for Roxy Music, by the way.

Post by: Nick on June 13, 2007, 09:46:40 PM: Definitely ELO. It's almost no question for me.

Edit: I like every one of these bands. Every single one.

It was pretty good, and then a lot of people started having unrealistic expectations of those guys. I mean, let's not forget they used to be part of AT THE DRIVE IN.

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

[Chorus:]
Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in a fish eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

Yea, I went back to listen to ATDI after enjoying TMV's first album so much, and I was like "JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!?!?"

I'm pretty sure White Man loves ATDI, though.

I don't know, was she a godless libertarian too?

Fun fact: for some reason, libertarians love the prog. Can't figure it out. I like the mellow folk-rock, but then again I am a godless commie.

That's ok though, I'm fond of cheesy 80's shit for some reason. Can't seem to get enough Jim Steinman.
Title: Re: KING OF PROG
Post by: Van Cruncheon on June 13, 2007, 10:08:40 PM: rush and dream theater fans are always big-L Libertarians, probably due to the fact that their respective lyricists are big flaming randroids and they write songs about being a big flaming randroid. you can probably add queensryche fans to that stereotype, too.

just 3 miles from the rest stop. and she slams on the brakes. She said I'm tired of being what i'm not. So could you please collect your things. i don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel but I gotta find more than what's happening with you and if you'd open up the door. she said, while you were sleeping, i was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming when it came to mind that I didn't care. So I thought, hell if it's over, I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve. Are you listening? Can you hear me? Have you forgotten?
