Now now, mind you no rock band has any business doing Tchaikovsky (or Mussorgsky or Copland for that matter), but I thought the intro to Tarkus was pretty rad. And it takes some balls to strap on a keyboard controller for a custom Moog modular synth and strut around with it like it was a guitar.
Besides, everyone knows that the true reason for punk was Yes' Tales From Topographic Oceans anyway. Few artists could pack 10 minutes of decent tunes into a 4-side double album quite like they could.
HEY!

I was always a Hoedown fan. Fanfare was horrible tho.

Excellent point about Tales
