Lifting Music

I don't assume that everyone else wants to listen to jazz fusion, or opera, or plainchant - why do they assume I want to listen to their tripe?

Yo. But I can't lift in 7/8. Actually, I have thought of taking in Alex Lifeson's solo project 'Victor' as there are some crushing tracks on that.

Crikey, I haven't heard their stuff for years. Just don't put their records backwards (do you remember Rob Halford and the accusations of satanism?)
