Oh, c'mon Donna Summer - I just know you want to addyour two cents to this
conversation. SOMEBODY has to be here to tell the rest of us that Journey
is truly the cockrockinest group to ever grace our planet, right?
:P

>Comparing Floyd to Yes is kinda apples with oranges...PF was more about art

>After DSOTM, the Floyds seem to get quite patternistic with what they did.

>What an incredible time for rock music - the late 60's and early 70s
>spawned some great notions. I always saw what happened to Floyd (resting on
