Long time back. I went to school with their cover artist, Wes Freed (as well as several members of Gwar, but therin lies another tale).

For the record...I won't be satisfied unless this thread is longer than the one about the Creme.
I had a friend who was the 4th member of Bloodhound Gang at one point.

In that spirit, isn't it time we start piling on about what the OP was expecting, anyway? Come to think of it, wasn't this thread about bicycles once? I mean really crappy ones, anyone remember?
Oh, and before we lay the 'who recorded the first concept album' thing to rest completely, I have to point out that Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and Days of Future Passed both preceded Circle Game and S F Sorrow by many months.

WHen I rode my motorcycle cross country a few years ago my least favorite part was Kansas. I feel the same way about the group.

I have a theory about this...
Bands named after geographical locations are almost invariably terrible...and the larger the area, the worse the band.
Think Europe and Asia...or America.
I hate Rush.

Boston.
Chicago.
You're onto something, Aaron!
I've never been to Rush, though. Where's that? Judging by how terrible the band is, it must be a pretty big place.
There should be a band called Turkey.

Most honest band of the 00's. Former member Jason Isbell is great as well. How about Son Volt/ Uncle Tupelo /Jay Farrar? Any fans?

I can't believe no one has mentioned The Moody Blues in this thread yet.
And one I want to throw in. There are always bands that people try to cut out. Stone Temple Pilots were always labelled as a Pearl Jam knock off or imitators of insert name here grunge band. Why? I guess not being from Seattle was strike one. Strike two was they made some songs that became huge hits and were over played. (speaking of over played, I despise Nirvana and would be content to never hear them again). Strike three... not certain here. I guess strike three is Weiland hasn't ended up dead after his drug problems like all the people that are labeled as the grunge greats. Once you dig a little some of the songs are fantastic. DeLeo's guitar sounds like most other grunge but there's so much more going on than the power chords used by most of them.

I was actually in a Son Volt video, or so I;ve heard, with some friends. We were at a concert and apparently can be seen in the video. I forget which song oddly enough.
