  • Really?

    I’m half way through the second episode of Fagile and I think I’m listening to a bunch of teenagers completely disrespecting and taking the piss. Maybe too maybe to many spliffs or alcohol has been taken. If you are doing a pod about prog then give it some respect. Laugh,laugh,laugh. Try Yes Music Podcast or Tabletop Genesis until these guys grow up. Won’t bother with any more. What a shame.

Ep. 39: King Crimson - Lark’s Tongue in Aspic

Ep. 39: King Crimson - Lark’s Tongue in Aspic
Q: Of these three, where did you start and how did that go?
Ryan mentions he started with a t-shirt of Lark's Tongue in Aspic, which influenced his engagement with the albums in order.
Ep. 18: Yes - Fragile, Part 1
Q: Are there bands that have four songwriters in them?
The Beatles and The Traveling Wilburys might be examples, but it's rare to find bands where everyone gets an equal share.
Ep. 18: Yes - Fragile, Part 1
Q: What is your relationship to Roundabout?
I have spent many hours topping pizzas while listening to Roundabout; it's part of the classic rock radio play.
Ep. 18: Yes - Fragile, Part 1
Q: What are your initial thoughts on Fragile?
It's easy to argue that the album is the start of the classic Yes Sound, and I think it highlights the collaborative aspect of the band where everyone contributed at some point.
