So says reputed critic Piero Scaruffi.

"Music critic Piero Scaruffi argues that the "bands that nurtured prog-
rock through its early stages were Traffic, Jeff Beck, Family, Jethro
Tull and Genesis; while King Crimson, Yes and Van Der Graaf Generator
represent the genre at its apex".

I used to have one of his thongs but the butt part got really dark and it
was embarassing when I took it off in front of friends. Now I use a Patti
Scialfa.

Can there ever song which has better lyrics than this?

The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move.
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping
in the quiet of his room,
but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine;
he'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.
Yes the killer lives.
Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile...
Their presence strokes
and soothes the tempest in my mind
and their love can heal the wounds
that I have wrought.
They watch me as I go to fall
- well, I know I shall be caught,
while the angels live.

How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?

Is this the song your Uncle Mustapha would sing to you when he came into
your room late at night to pull down your jammies?

I do wonder why many people think / believe / espouse that Hammill's
lyrics are pure shite.

I happen to like his lyrics - far better than many other pretentious
twits we have come to love and admire in prog music. :^)

Just a question, is all... I think this is a "can't have your cake
and eat it" situations.
