Hi y'all!

We're packing up our things today in Kentucky and heading home tomorrow. Once I get through the weekend, it will be time for our next Extended Play Lounge. And, I'm making this poll a big one. Here's the top five vote-getting submissions for the EPL that we currently have on the master list (excluding band duplications). I've heard some of each of these albums, but not everything in context. So, pick your favorite!

ELP - I've heard Take a Pebble and Lucky Man

Rush - I know Xanadu and Cygnus X1

Genesis - I know Firth of Fifth, Epping Forest, and Cinema Show

Gentle Giant - I know Panurge and Knots

Pink Floyd - I know Pow R. Toc H. and Bike

I know Doug's done the big songs from SEBTP already, but it'll be really interesting to hear reactions to them in the context of the rest of the album, because there are recurring puns and lyrical ideas that make more sense in a whole-album listen.

I was a little surprised to see Farewell to Kings. I figured after Moving Pictures I was excited for you to move into the 80’s Rush which was polarizing for fans in the musical direction they went. But, there is time.
