The Really *Really* Controversial Survey

[avevale_intelligencer]

1. Do you have the sheer unadulterated brass neck to answer these questions and post them as The Really Really Controversial Survey?
No, but since I'm the author, I don't have to.

2. Would you go and see Emerson Lake and Palmer if they were touring?

3. The Alan Parsons Project: for or against it?

6. Do you wish Peter Gabriel and Genesis would get back together already?

7. Are you for or against the use of mandolins in prog rock?

8. Do you believe in Mike Oldfield?

9. Do you think eight keyboards is too many?

10. Do you think it's wrong that most decent rock music these days comes from Europe?

11. A folk singer has an electric guitar; should she play it?

12. Should the maximum level on amplifiers be lowered to nine?

13. Should the next revival of disco be called off?

14. Contrapuntal experimentation is unfashionable; do you agree?

15. Do you believe in air guitar playing?

16. Would you burn a bootleg CD for a million dollars?

Reply Hazy - Ask Again Later.

2. Would you go and see Emerson Lake and Palmer if they were touring?
I'd be at the frickin' gate, bellowing, "Welcome back, my friends, to The Show That Never Ends...."

3. The Alan Parsons Project: for or against it?
For.

4. Do you think Yes would fail without either Jon Anderson or Steve Howe?
Yes. Er, no. Third base!

5. Do you believe in death metal?
I'm still working on "magic in a young girl's heart".

6. Do you wish Peter Gabriel and Genesis would get back together already?
Actually, no. I think he's done just fine without them, and the clash of creative directions between him and Phil Collins would at this point likely create a MDS (Male Diva Singularity).

7. Are you for or against the use of mandolins in prog rock?
For.

8. Do you believe in Mike Oldfield?
Yes, but the faeries still shake their heads in wonder.

9. Do you think eight keyboards is too many?
For one guy at the same time, sure.

10. Do you think it's wrong that most decent rock music these days comes from Europe?
No, I think it's wrong that you think most decent rock music these days comes from Europe.

11. A folk singer has an electric guitar; should she play it?
Damn skippy.

12. Should the maximum level on amplifiers be lowered to nine?
No. Six. And a half. Nearly.

13. Should the next revival of disco be called off?
But I like zombies....

14. Contrapuntal experimentation is unfashionable; do you agree?
I don't know (yes you do)
I'm not sure (Yes you are)
Maybe it'll work or not (Don't even try to pull that)
My words are (You're not fooling)
So obscure (Anyone)
Musically I'm not so hot (You made this up on the spot)
I admit I don't know squat (Something that you do a lot)

15. Do you believe in air guitar playing?
I do it all the time myself.

16. Would you burn a bootleg CD for a million dollars?
I've done it for free, so, yeah.

17. Who do you think would make the better subject for a concept album, Obama or McCain?
Depends on whether you want progressive jazz or old-school.

18. Am I afraid others will judge me from reading some of these questions?
I don't know -- are you?

"Male Diva Singularity"? I just fell off my chair :-D Such an apt description of that particular scenario :-DDD
