	If your such a musical virtuoso, why don't you get a record contarct,
and start making you own "I-love-Hitler-kill-the-babies-rape-the-women"records.
You could smash a guitar on stage(It would probably sound better than your
playing) and Maple can come out and give you a blow-job right on stage to 
totaly disgust us all.

I changed the subject line, because I don't know what the best live albums
are (but I *do* know the seven best bands :-)).
EB mentioned some albums I would have suggested too, here are a few more:

Rory Gallagher          Irish Tour
Bob Seger               Live Bullet, Nine Tonight
Golden Earring          Live! (Not sure about the title, but the cover is mainly
                               white and it's a double LP)
War                     Live I and II (Again, don't know the exact title,
                                       good harp playing by Lee Oskar)
J. Geils Band           Full House (On the lickin' stick Mr. Magic Dick!!!)
Blood, Sweat & Tears    In Concert
Tesla                   Five Man Acoustical Jam

	*sigh*


	Oh, that's so like you, Maple.  Whenever any of the readers call your
more tough-and-metal-headed-than-thou bluff/pose on alt.r-n-r.metal, you 
just shut up and lay low for a couple of days until you can muster up the
courage to finally go and post again.  That one guy (I forget who) really hit
the nail on the head when he said that you were basically a cowardly, insecure
overgrown kid who feels like he can act really tough, really cool, and really
superior from behind the anonymous screen of the net--  and that, in person,
you're just an immature little boy with an inferiority complex.
	That's why, one supposes, you do all this "poserkiller" shit and try
to act so tough, so powerful, and so abusive to people who you don't know--
so that you can make it seem as if, on the net at least, that you're a really
confident, strong, and tough person yourself.  And that's why whenever people
state on alt.r-n-r.metal that they know you're really a quivering wimp who
only wants attention, that you drop out of the newsgroup for a while.  It
just makes sense that you would, during that period, go over to another 
newsgroup where people might be fooled for a short while into thinking that
you are some really tough metalhead--  so that you can act tough in front of
people who might not call your bluff.  
	Well, it's been called, Maple.  You're not going to be able to go 
through life hiding behind a computer screen. Sooner or later, you're going
to have to stop acting like a tough guy and try to become a secure individual
who's happy with himself.  Trying to tell people who are following a 
thread on progressive rock on a non-metal newsgroup that they should listen
to more death metal is not really the best way in which you can ground your
self-confidence.  Not only does it mean that you're just acting tough and
never actually becoming tough, it's a format in which people clearly do 
realize that, at heart, you're just a scared little boy who tries to bully
others to make himself feel adequate.  Come off the third grade playground--
the little kids have grown up and are all laughing at you.

B.S.  they don't have instumentals. 
   Meddle - One of These Days - out a 3 min. song there are 2 lines.
	    Echos - 21 min. song under a min. in vocals. 
   Wish You Were Here - several of the Shine on  parts are all 
                        instrumental.
If those don't qualify as instrumentals , then even there are several more
of their abulms that qualify .

	I was exatuarting(sp?) about the Hitler stuff to get my point accross.
But, I am a musician, and I know a lot of true musicians who like Def Lep.
They are good. They know simple works. I have been a musician for years, so
I'm no punk of the streets with three guitar chords, and a loud amp. I have
studied A LOT of theory, and I can see where the guys in Def Lep not only seem
to know their theroy, but are able to implement it. So. maybe YOU shouldn't
talk to ME about musical talent, because you obviously have none.

Hey out there in Alaska! I've heard of Danger Danger and I LOVE them.  Their
first album, "Danger Danger," is very good.  The first time I saw the video for
"Naughty Naughty" on MTV, I knew I had to get the album, and the second video
"Bang Band" solidified that idea.  I've almost worn out my tape of it,
especially "Boys Will Be Boys," but I haven't gotten their new album yet, which
I believe is called "Screw This."  After I heard their most recent single "I
Still Think About You" I knew I had to get it.  Now, it's just the matter of
scraping enough money together to get it.  It's nice to know there are other
Danger Danger fans out there.  What other groups do you like?  Send me
something.

Try Trilogy and the first ELP, too.

This is by far the most symphonic of the Moodies' works, but the other
6 albums they did before 1973 all have a symphonic "feel" to them.


It sounds like what you like is "art rock"--a term that is sometimes
used pejoratively, but which I think well describes classically oriented
rock.

Other suggestions

Yes - Fragile, Close To The Edge, The Yes Album
Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth, No Earthly Connection,
		   The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights...
Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water
Rennaisance - perhaps the most "symphonic" of all...  I like all their
	      albums; start with A Turn of the Cards, Scheherzade and
	      Other Stories; then get other pre-1980 stuff.
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Phil Manzanera/801 - Listen Now


That should keep you busy for a while....

I've been an Aerosmith fan from the start, and if I had to recommend some of
their older stuff, I would suggest checking out "Rocks" or "Toys in the Attic."
You really can't go wrong with either one.  I especially enjoy the songs
"Nobody's Fault" and "Sick as a Dog" off of "Rocks."  "Adam's Apple" and "No
More, No More" are two great songs off of "Toys" that complement their more
popular tunes.  Enjoy!!

rock'n'roll : kind of popular music with a strong beat and simple melody.
noun.

I have heard that rock'n'roll is a term coined to be synonomous with having
sex, "rocking and rolling".

led zep is r'n'r, although these days their being called heavy metal.

Pink Floyd is not usualy called r'n'r but it fits the definition at least
since "dark side" 

I've never heard the rolling stones called any thing but r'n'r.

Ever hear of KLAATU ?
