"This woman...she's killed before, and not just once..."


Finally bit the bullet and listened to A View from the Top of the World.

Dream Theater has nothing left in the tank. "Transcending Time" and "Awaken the Master" were my highlights but the album as a whole just didn't have enough musical ideas to go with its length. A big problem was a lot of intros were great but no follow-through.

Luckily I got into Haken recently and they snapped me out of that funk.

i'm in the mood for some silly wacky prog. like, good natured silly. (no Zappa, sorry)

either musical or lyrical playfulness or both could work. Canterbury and bands like Gong/Caravan come to mind, as does early Spock's Beard. any other suggestions?

Haken has a few jaunty lil tunes, here's Cockroach King https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7wwYmgQAmY

So every now and then I run into a song I consider important, like that hidden rank above a favorite song. Devin Townsend's "Bastard" is one of those cuz it impacted my musical tastes drastically. A while back a few dives down Youtube's recommendation hole introduced me to Maiak, and while they don't always land one of their songs I'd absolutely consider an important one for me.
