Well, it took me two days, but I have read the entire thread. I have noticed that the following musicians have been posted the most:

I was thinking of a caption for this but it wasn't very pc and might offend somebody which might get the mods involved and in turn might get me uninvolved. Filter is on and working, please continue.

I was just listening to the CSN channel on Pandora. They played "From the Beginning" by ELP. I was wondering, as I have before, what if CSN had toured with ELP as a backing band? Would there ever have been a Yes?
