This was one of my fave bands in the prog-era, i.e. I went to several live performances, of which I think "Tales from Topographic Oceans" at Maple Leaf Gardens (1974?) may have been the last. My interest mostly faded after Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman left the group, they seemed have a lot of the joy and self-deprecating humour which translated into their contributions e.g. "Cans and Brahms" & "Five Percent for Nothing" from the Fragile album. Their stories were probably the best part of this book. I also loved those Roger Dean album covers with their fantastical other worlds.

Saying goodbye to several dozen books due to a water damage incident and I thought I'd write at least a little memorial to each of them and about why I kept them around. ( )
