Although you may not like the music, there's an interesting story here (http://www.maplemusic.com...ag/bio.asp) of a band that systematically charted a successful course for themselves. Ignoring musical trends (and the U.S. market for the most part), they've created an international fanbase that has kept them working for over 30 years.

You don't have that problem on this side of the border.
I believe it's now a radio policy - No Prog-Rock, None of the time! cool

Never really gave them much of a chance, but I do remember quite liking some of their "the security of illusion" album. The other album I own, "the beginners guide to throwing shapes", I remember not liking much.




Thanks for the thread though, as I need to hear them again.
