Subvert "Alternative" Rock!

Don't you hate those "alternative" rock stations that act so cool and hip as they dish out the latest bland offering from corporate America? What are they the alternative to, anyway? Aren't WE the true alternative?

Anyway. A so-called alternative radio station in San Francisco claims to be expanding their music library. They are asking listeners for suggestions of songs to add. Imagine if they got hundreds, even thousands, of suggestions of PROGRESSIVE ROCK songs!!!

So think of five songs OF RECENT VINTAGE (1995 to the present) that you'd like to add to their radio station. Vermillion's choices were:

"Face to Face" by Yes
"In Memoriam" by Steve Hackett
"The Book of Love" by White Willow
"This is the 21st Century" by Marillion
"Psychedelic Postcard" by The Flower Kings

Then go to www.radioalice.com and click where it says to. Remember, in order for this to work, the songs must be RECENT--if you choose songs from the 1970s, it will just reinforce their view that progressive rock died around 1978.

ok

I doubled up on your Yes. Here's what I suggested:

Yes - Face to Face (though I'd have picked Dreamtime, but power in numbers)
Rush - One Little Victory
Office of Strategic Influence - OSI
Evergrey - Recreation Day
The Flower Kings - Monkey Business

However, if I could do it again, I'd put King's X - Dreams instead of the Evergrey song. Wasn't thinking.

Hehe this is fun

OK so I put some suggestions in there...

King Crimson - Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With (I always thought this would be a great "MTV single")
Salem Hill - The Red Pool (this band just needs to be HEARD!)
Yes - Face to Face (power in numbers again)
Rush - One Little Victory (rock their faces off)
King's X - Dreams (because Yesspaz missed out on that one)
