Question: Does Roger Waters know everything there is to know about the complex situation between Israel and it's Arab neighbours? Answer: No.
Question: Should Roger Waters stop making an ass of himself in public and maybe make a new record? Answer: Yes.
Question: Should certain people stop labeling Roger Waters an anti-semite because of an uneducated conclusion? Answer: Yes.
Roger: You don't know everything. Let others draw their own conclusions. If you feel you must do a public service because you feel the Israeli system is unjust, then do it without the melodramatics and singling people out.
Critics: Stop getting your names in the news because you have a reason to use 'anti-semite' in a sentence about an entertainer. Call him a douche bag if you like but Sheesh,,,, Just because I don't like cabbage doesn't mean I'm anti-cabbage. I'm might be ill informed. Or stubborn. Or worse, just like you. I've known lots of good cabbages. Some of my best friends are cabbages...

Our Rog is a bit of a card is`nt he .
I think the man is a genius .
Now that is from well over 30 years of his wonderful music . He seemed to hit the nail on the head with the Final Cut . But then again it`s artistic licence But anything he doe`s away from Music I don`t take much interest. I guess with everyone is entitled to an opinion , right or wrong .
As once said in a great film "Make up your mind , don`t let people tell you what to do !"

He`s not the Messiah !
Anyway . As it`s a list week and a bit I have pondered on a Prog list ..List . Well , if you did one with no rules you would end up with about 20 Yes songs and some .. So I have gone for (again) 1 song Per band and I have had to throw out full sided album songs as if I have it as a play list it could take all week ! So here are I think are 25 of the finest 1 per band Prog songs
1. Awaken - Yes 2. Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd 3. The Golden Void Part. II - Hawkwind 4. Asylum - Supertramp 5. Drive Home - Steven Wilson 6. Can`t Get It Out Of My Head - E.L.O. 7. Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression _ E.L.P. 8. Oxygene ( Part IV ) - Jean Michel Jarre 9. The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson 10. Here Come`s The Food - Peter Gabriel 11. Xanadu - Rush 12. Searching For The Spark - Steve Hillage 13. The Magician`s Birthday - Uriah Heep 14. Paranoid Android - Radiohead 15. Metamorphosis - Magenta 16. I`m Mandy Fly Me - 10cc 17. Faith Healer - Sensational Alex Harvey Band 18. The Road - Jon and Vangelis 19. Aerial - Kate Bush 20. You Can`t Kill Me - Gong 21. Awakening - The Reasoning 22. Hold Your Head Up - Argent 23. Back Street Luv - Curved Air 24. Sputnik - Public Broadcasting Service 25. What God Want`s Part I - Roger Waters ( to be fair any track off that album )
Jeez , that was a toughy !

Yes. Ian Gillan Band. Kind of a rock/jazz fusion with prog tendencies.

Yes. Ian Gillan Band. Kind of a rock/jazz fusion with prog tendencies. Yes . I checked it out . Not the Gillian band I remember. Do you have any The Strawbs or Procol Harum , for I have none I`m really after Lay Down and Salty Sea Dog .

Do know when you get a perfect list and you think and sit back and say ... Well I think the List is`nt that perfect for it only has one track from a mind blowing album ... Anyway this should get a mention on any list that has Amps , guitars , drums and anything that makes a noise . It`s just a beautiful song it`s to beautiful for this world or any world ..World .

Mr. Kite, I sort of know where you're coming from with the Donna Summer inclusion. When I first heard "I Feel Love" on the radio I thought it sounded more like the producer's record than the singer's record. Like it should have been released in the name of the producer instead of Donna Summer.
