Sound track to your life

Wha ... I didn't put enough of the group on there?

Besides, what category can you put "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" and "Firth of Fifth"? One could probably put "Afterglow" in the Death Scene category, but somehow Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" was a better fit. Shoot, one could easily put John Williams' "Imperial Death March" or even Gustav Holst's "Mars" there as well. Too many good choices for that category ... or maybe that's a reflection of a warped mind.

And speaking of Tony Banks, where could one fit "An Island in the Darkness" in this little game?

Was sent this in an e-mail, thought it was an interesting time waister, at least it will show a side of some SportsJournalists.commers we haven't seen before.

You forgot rule six ... Stop lying to pretend your cool. I know you, there's a lot of Styx, Yes and BTO missing from that list.

Sir Fucking Douglas Quintet. Bitch please!

If you die before me, I will see to it that Styx's Too Much Time On My Hands is played at your funeral, complete with video.

 

We'll find something out of the Wal-Mart clearance rack for you, Bubbler.
