Dear all: I love Stonehenge and listen to it whenever possible. It was there that I first heard Mellow Candle. Talk about Non-Metal Prog. I am not much of a Metal Prog fan. The only even partially Metal Prog group I like is Anubis Spire. I certainly would not want to banish Prog Metal from any show, but I would like to see it balanced with other types--space, folk, symph, etc. WREK, in my h. opinion, is the best station in town--followed a close second by WRFG, and a pretty close third by WRAS. Everything else sucks a lot. Paul >From: "Paul W.
