Re: Classics song, and I don't know why
This is not a negative thread. It's just a place to sort of "confess prog sins" for fun. Jim doesn't care for Echoes or Awaken, which I find funny. I don't care for Supper's Ready or 2112, which others may find amusing. I figured it'd be a riot, but everybody's getting their feelings hurt and stuff. What's the big deal? I want someone to admit they don't like "Close to the Edge" just for the heck of it. Why's everyone so tense?
For the record, I'm not trashing KC's first. To quote myself, "...before I get started, I want to say that I really like this album, but I don't know why it's so worshipped." Just going with the name of the thread. I don't get why it's so lauded. Is there anyone out there who thinks that "Close to the Edge" or "Wish You Were Here" are just not that superb? I mean, SOMEONE's got to.
