Favourite Teen Idol: If I was an American I'd take the fifth amendment on this one.
Artist Who Broke Your Heart: Phil Collins, by selling out.

Favourite Sound: Mellotron or Hammond organ
Album You Will Always Defend: Drama by Yes
Album You Own That No One Else Does: Just about everything really obscure I can name, I can think of someone else who's got it - even albums by Polish goth-metal bands or Hungarian prog-rock acts! I do have some LPs of train noises; do they count?
Classic Album You Own but Don't Like: Layla by Derek and the Dominoes

Song You Can't Stand by an Artist You Like: Goin' Through the Motions, Blue Öyster Cult
Band That Should Break Up: Oasis

Guilty Pleasure: Rhapsody. Although why should I really feel guilty for listening to operatic pomp-metal with Dungeons and Dragons lyrics?
Favourite Music DVD: Don't have a DVD player
Concert You Wish You'd Seen: Rainbow with Ronnie Dio
Dream Collaboration: Ronnie Dio and Yngwie Malmsteen
Rub-It-In mode:
Did I mention the SEVERAL times I saw Rainbow with Dio? :-))))
I saw Genesis' last major tour with Gabriel, for "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway."
Do you really want to force PG back into the get-ups he wore when he was with them?
(I came looking for your blog so's I could mention that "Zero SAN, wibble wibble wibble." was brilliant.)
