Re: Negative requests (please don't play "Band X. . . )

This is exactly why I've been tuning out negative feedback on my show, if presented in this way. If you don't like something great, but others do.

Your mention of Dolby is amusing, since I played three songs on my show two weeks ago. I've also played Big Country. You see, the Moon is full of different styles.

The inherent weakness in you stance, is that you cannot define prog. For my new company, the co-owners did a sort of interview with me about internet radio, and asked me to define prog. I couldn't. Go to Wikipedia.....

and check out their attempt at a definition. They also note that Robert Fripp despises the term, and I know (because he's the closest thing I have to a musical idol) that Ian Anderson is amused by the term.

I can't define it, you can't, nobody can, musical icons hate it, so just stop trying ok?

Queen, Rush..great bands..prog? Maybe, probobaly not. Who gives a shit?

So ok you don't like those bands..I don't like Univers Zero, GYBE, etc. But they're on the Moon, I deal with it. Why don't you?

And your inclusion of Caravan is very odd. they're a whole different sound.

I will say your names are quite funny, esp the Molasses.

I could go on all day about the music on here that's not prog, by strict definition. But I'm not going to present it in this fashion.
