- *SHUDDER*
- I actually like some Queensryche and Fates Warning, but don't EVER call them
- Progressive. I know progressive, and they ain't it.

- Yeah, it's a nice little stretch of land on the borders of Cambodia and Laos.

-
- What you fail to realize is that with Metal, most songs are under 5 minutes
- (yes, I know there are some exceptions). With most of the stuff you'll get
- reccomendations for here will be much longer. If I had to pick one tune I'd
- like to see distributed to every member of this list, it'd be Phish's "Union
- Federal", which happens to be a 25 minute long anything-goes free jam. Now
- someone will probably reccomend a Miles tune. Take "Gondwana", that's 47
- minutes. Do you get my point?
