[kj] IAN CURTIS GODFATHER OF EMO?

[Brendan Quinn]

I wouldn't go so far as to call them prog, they were pretty poppy / rocky
but not that complex that I can recall...suppose they threw in a bit of
classical and synth. 

Horace Wimp, I have to say, is one of the worst, most embarrassing songs
I've ever heard, right up there with "Jesus" by Queen.

Back in the early nineties a magazine misquoted me as saying I liked ELO, 
not Eno.
Kind of sucks when you think of ELO as contrived progrock..and you were 
producing acid techno! lol.
