I grew up listening to country music and bluegrass. I discovered AM rock (Brandehh, you're a fine girl...) and heavy metal, and that helped, but in 11th grade a friend turned me on to "Close to the Edge," and it was all over. Shortly afterwards, another friend turned me on to Crimson and ELP. More fun!
When Discipline came out, I was working at an anti-commercial college radio station, and our program director gave it a quick listen and decided not to put it into rotation. Grrrrr. It actually worked out well, because since we didn't have to wait for it to come up in rotation, we could play it...ANY TIME WE LIKED.
It wasn't long before our station manager sent around a note asking us to play something else besides "Talking Crimson" sets. (The material on the Talking Heads' Remain in Light segues wonderfully with material from Discipline.)
Hey, why not put Remain in Light in the library?
