While I certainly admire his chops, it's usually been a little too much of a showoff kind of thing for me.  
dude, it's prog rock! it's supposed to be showy. who would listen to a song about chess otherwise? or a 21st century schizoid man?
Well, you hit the nail on the head about my feelings towards 'prog rock.'  I kind of like 21st Century Schizoid Man though!  I don't think it's because the bass player is cool, but Greg Lake is much more in the pocket than Chris Squire.

Best Irony of Set: Yes. In '71 they sang about "Caesar's Palace". And now they're playing there. :P

so, what's the deal with Cat Stevens?

Seems like a resurgence in his radio play lately, perhaps due to John Ashcroft?

I have no idea what any of you are talking about.  "The Cooler," wha?

I have no idea what Marc Bolan's talking about either.  But he gets BOS b/c he says "Jag-yew-are" instead of "Jag-war."

This just in, I think about where I was in 1971
