1977 is the symbolic punk rock "Year Zero" as referenced in the book I 
mentioned I've been reading, England's Dreaming by Jon Savage.  It's also a 
pretty 
darned good song by The Clash.  

Yeah...yeah...I know it's a prog list, but, if you think about it, prog and 
punk really aren't that far apart ideologically.  They just take very different 
approaches to the musical realization of their ideals.

All I'm trying to say is that I'm sick of the status quo as far as popular 
music and the music industry are concerned.  I want to see the system turned on 
it's head, run through a meat grinder, knocked around and then run back 
through the meat grinder just for the heck of it.
